Kids + teens may be struggling behaviorally, have low self-esteem, disordered eating, self-injure, seem depressed and/or anxious. When this is the result of trauma or family conflict, we are able to help the family system learn how to support each other and provide a safe and validating environment. Adults may be struggling to form intimate relationships, parent effectively, have low self-esteem, disordered eating, function at work or at home, and struggle with their mood/thoughts/feelings. We help adults look at their childhood trauma, family system, and present day trauma/stressors to learn how to break these patterns that are impacting their daily life."

I started my career working with and teaching children who were not psychologically ready to move from kindergarten to first grade.

This was a locked unit and it was here that I learned all the family therapy methodology."

"As an Adjunct Professor, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor with more than 18 years experience, I believe the best way to conduct therapy is through understanding the relationship you have with yourself first. This relationship then translates to happier connections with others including parents, spouse, partner, co-workers, and co-dependent relations including various addictions. By improving your relationships in all aspects of your life, you will see results in decreasing your anxieties and depression. Located in Torrington (glass building). Accepting HUSKY, BCBS, etc."

"There are times in our lives when we don't know what is wrong; just that something is. We wonder if we are "crazy" and are scared to be judged if we ask for help. The truth is that very sane people struggle when the difficulties in their lives outpace their coping skills. I've been a therapist for 18 years and believe strongly that healing comes through connection with others. As we increase our knowledge, we become healthier and more resilient when approaching future problems. It is an honor to work alongside people as they discover hidden strengths and resources."
