My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, like they're out of their depth, or finding themselves locked in patterns that they just can't seem to break. I work to understand the complexity of your situation and where you're coming from, and then pairing that with evidence-based strategies that are designed to address and overcome those challenges you're facing and patterns that no longer serve you. My goal is for you to leave our meetings feeling understood and empowered with a plan or strategy to put into practice in the week ahead. My clients describe my style as authentic, candid & warm, and I frequently incorporate humor!
I am a clinical psychologist licensed in CT and in PSYPACT states. I am intensively trained and a national trainer in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and also have significant experience using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and treatment for PTSD (CPT and PE). I work with clients with borderline personality disorder and struggle with suicide behavior.
Finding a therapist can be a challenging and confusing process - and you're taking a big step right now! Shoot me an email and let's set up a free consultation so we can get to know each other and see if we're a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
