Substance use disorders treatment can save your or a loved one’s life. For over 15 years, I have enjoyed working with individuals and families to elicit positive change in their lives. As the Outpatient Services Program Manager at Mountainside treatment center in Wilton, I implement Acceptance Commitment Therapy, as well as somatic and experiential therapies to help my clients engage more fully in what gives them a sense of meaning and purposefulness in their lives. I also like to incorporate mindfulness and breathwork through my experience as a yoga teacher.

I have over 20 years of professional experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families sharpen their skills to more effectively work through stress, loss, transitions, and the unexpected obstacles that life has thrown their way. Empowering individuals and families to reconnect with themselves, redefine themselves, rediscover their inner strengths, and rebuild their emotional well-being is my passion and commitment.

I have been treating individuals for over twenty years. I find that people seek treatment during times of transition and distress. They are smart, educated individuals who are experiencing a difficulty and desire to improve their life. These difficulties often include relationships, careers, life transitions, illness, loss and bereavement.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for the past 25 years. My philosophy, which draws from both cognitive and psychodynamic theories, emphasizes an empowering, solution-focused approach. Psychotherapy sessions encourage self-awareness, coping skills, problem solving, boundary setting, self-acceptance, assertiveness, and creating a healthy balance in life and relationships. My specialties include working with patients that struggle with Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD.

Are you struggling with depression? Anxiety? Relationships? Life comes with struggles and transitions that are often difficult to manage on our own. With assistance and support there can be increased awareness to self and the environment making life infinitely more enjoyable. I am a licensed therapist in the state of CT and specialize in the topics of anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, identity confusion, and pregnancy/postpartum. In couples work I focus on the importance of communication, trust, and sexual awareness. My approach to psychotherapy has emphasis on the needs of each individual client.

As a psychologist, my job is to help my patients identify problematic patterns, understand formative relationships, and develop self understanding. The greatest predictor of success in therapy is the therapist-patient relationship and finding a therapist with whom you feel understood and can explore painful issues is crucial. The essence of good therapy is empathy, tactful directness, and a collaborative approach to help people make and internalize changes to improve relationships and impart a sense of well-being. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore the past and create a new future.

All of us face difficult transitions in life. Either negative or positive change can create overwhelming feelings of loss or anxiety. I specialize in helping people cope with the feelings that change can bring. Using a multifaceted approach, people are able to move through obstacles and fears, adapting to change in a more positive way. Treatment of anxiety disorders is a major focus of mine. People are often surprised to learn how much control they can exert over anxiety using cognitive behavioral and other techniques. By using an individualized program of successive steps toward mastery, anxiety loses its power.

People who come to me are often in crisis. They need someone who can listen deeper than words to bring greater understanding, clarity, and perspective. Fear or depression block pathways toward effective change. I bring years of training and practice, personal sensitivity and deep intuition. My goal is to help you release your own potential, unblock energy, so that you have greater awareness and can actualize that new awareness. I've been trained in five different psychoanalytic approaches, depending in part on your situation and location. I offer psychoanalysis in NYS. Call 203-894-9489 for initial phone consultation.

I know it's hard to take that first step. I am a strength-based family-systems-trained therapist who believes, "it is never too late to be what you might have been." I believe that who we are both in and out of relationship is not fixed, and that implementing small steps toward change is both do-able and rewarding. My passion for therapy is grounded in the belief that problems and worry held in isolation grow, whereas voicing them aloud in a safe place and working together with a compassionate and skilled therapist can help reduce them to a manageable size.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by a recent life change? Perhaps it has been slowly building and the constant juggle of competing demands no longer seem sustainable. Change is not easy, however life transitions are often the catalyst for healthy growth. I can help you to unpack the negative thoughts, anxieties, and emotions to discover your triggers and identify patterns. Through this process, clients gain a sense of empowerment to create balance in their lives. The path to inner peace and happiness emerges out of insight and balance.
