Due to the many years of experience I have working with children and families, I strongly believe that I will be able to help you resolve the conflicts that are occurring currently in your life. During this process you will also develop the skills to assist you and your family through other conflicts should they occur. With most families I have worked with I have been able to successfully mediate the conflict that has brought them to my office in a timely manner. It is my goal to work to accomplish this while helping all participants to not lose any standing during this process.

Why do I need therapy? Therapy is for people who are crazy or out of control! I should be able to do this by myself! Asking or getting help means I'm not capable or strong. People are in therapy "cause they have to be." Couple's therapy is a last resort. Family therapy doesn't work/is not for me. Are any of these questions going through your mind? Is it helpful to know you are not alone? Sometimes, people are apprehensive about engaging in therapy or leery about continuing with therapy. All of the above reactions are understandable considering people's experiences. Licensure supervision/professional consultations offered.

First, thank you for taking the time to read my personal statement. I want to start by telling you a bit about my background and experience. I work at Anchor Counseling Center, a family-owned practice that provides outpatient counseling services to a diverse population. I have worked in the mental health field over 20 years. My approach centers around supportive therapy in which clients can reach a comfort level by building rapport and increasing trust.

Choosing a therapist for yourself or your child is a courageous step and the connection you have with your therapist is essential. I am an experienced psychotherapist providing therapy for children, adults and families. I utilize a strength based approach to empower you or your child to uncover personal strengths and skills to live a meaningful and fulfilling life. My clients come to me with a variety of concerns including depression, substance abuse and addiction, anxiety, parenting, relationship issues, grief and loss, or life transition. I work in a compassionate, collaborative and creative way.

Working with children and adolescents brings up various treatment needs and goals in therapy. Through CBT, DBT, MBSR, PCIT, mentalization based therapeutic strategies and educational resources, role-playing, arts and play therapy as well as self-help worksheets, young clients will be able to develop appropriate expressive skills to share their wants and needs. Parents can collaborate in treatment by proactively learning parenting skills to best engage with their children and adolescents by becoming more responsive in establishing and maintaining secure attachment through consistently building on healthy, nurturing relationships.

I specialize in treating pre-teens, teens, adults, and families. I have over 20 years experience treating clients struggling with behavioral disorders, depression, bipolar disorders, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, stress and anger management, poor self-esteem and codependency, life transition issues, complicated grief reactions, childhood trauma, divorce and family adjustments related to remarriage, adoption, trauma and loss.

The human struggle is a phenomenon that transcends time and cultures. It is a normal part of life to experience periods of sadness, confusion, hardship, and an overall desire for self-betterment. Therapy provides a secure environment for exploring the intricacies of the mind and deriving meaning from life experiences. Beginning can seem overwhelming, but it is a pivotal step in transformation.

It can be overwhelming and anxiety provoking to begin to seek services for yourself, your child or your family. Please schedule a consultation to discuss your needs with me and figure out if I can help you meet your goals. Taking this first step, although stressful, means you are taking control and making a change.

I love working with youth and their families. I am deeply passionate about assisting those I work with to find their voice again. I am skilled at helping others learn how to advocate, love, and believe in themselves. I believe that true growth only occurs when a person is allowed to shine. I enjoy working with college students, those who are navigating adjustments and change, LGBT+ and Black and other PoC populations. Anti-Racist and Feminist ideology inform my practice. I enjoy supporting those who have been historically excluded and do so with deep conviction and dedication.

Are you feeling stuck, depressed, anxious? Have you tried therapy before but didn’t get direction or feedback? Have you been trying to make a change in your life, career, relationships but not sure how? Are you struggling in your marriage or career or feeling overwhelmed or confused? Finding new ways to deal with old struggles without direction and support can contribute to depression, anxiety, fear, or conflict. Therapy can teach you ways to cope with life's challenges and achieve a healthy balanced lifestyle that is satisfying, enjoyable, and peaceful. Your life can change in a day. Let today be that day. We serve all ages!

My practice is client-centered and focuses on helping individuals adapt, reflect and cope with struggles in a supportive and safe environment. I work with children of all ages and adults, individually, and as a family and have experience treating individuals from diverse education, racial, religious and sexual orientation backgrounds. I primarily use evidence-based treatment approaches (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral) tailored to meet your needs and/or those of your family. I treat a broad range of problems, including anxiety, depression, stress management, parenting/child behavior problems, and managing health conditions and healthy lifestyle changes.

Positive change is attainable, and it starts with building safe and healthy connections. My goal as a therapist is to start by taking time in learning what makes you unique and how you'd like to grow. I aim to provide a welcoming and strengths-focused atmosphere to assist in building on the skills that you already have as well as work together to add some new tools and strategies.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is actively seeking new clients. Since receiving my Master's in Social Work from the University of Connecticut, I have worked with a wide range of clients from children, teens, and adults. I take a strength-based, client-centered approach to the work I do by building rapport and strengthening the therapeutic alliance in order to initiate change.

These include but are not limited to: emotional, behavioral, interpersonal, social skills and academic stressors.

Helping people cope with life’s struggles and cultivate resilience and growth is what I am passionate about. I actively strive to assist people in acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge to manage their difficulties and increase fulfillment in their lives. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, adults, and families who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. When working with youth, I believe that healing occurs in the context of a supportive family, so I often include parents in the treatment of their children. I also conduct psychological/neuropsychological testing for ages 2+

If you are having a hard time managing life and the stress that comes along with it, I will work with you to overcome obstacles that feel like they are never going away. I have over 22 years of experience with clients with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma/abuse, grief/loss, relationship issues and parenting issues. I’ll work with you to create a safe place where feelings can be shared without any fear of judgement.
