Therapists in Connecticut

Choosing a therapist to help guide you on your life's journey can be difficult. Congratulations on taking this step! With nearly 30 years of clinical experience I have come to believe that it is the relationship between therapist and client that supports client growth and change. I provide a gentle, challenging approach to guide your journey in identifying, understanding and actualizing your goals. My areas of specialty include trauma and loss, grief work, men's issues and those challenges associated with aging and retirement. I accept most major insurance companies and sliding fees are available if needed.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. Reaching out to a “stranger” to enter your life is the hard part, my goal is to provide a safe environment where you can explore and enhance your strengths that will empower you to find strategies that support you through life’s challenges. Focus on allowing you to become the “captain” of your voyage in life and joining you in various parts of this journey. I encourage open communication and connection with those I work with. I utilize various modalities and fit the experience to each unique individual.

I believe in the importance of a strong relationship with clients and work to provide a safe, compassionate environment in which clients feel able to express themselves, examine their experiences and work towards healthy goals. As a therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience, I combine cognitive, behavioral, mindfulness and insight-oriented approaches, with an understanding of how our past experiences affect us today.

As we are all different, so is each therapeutic relationship. Therefore, no one approach works for all. I strive to meet people just as and where they are. We best serve others by seeing them as a whole within the context of their environment. This includes our: mental wellness/ state of mind, physical/ state of body, and spiritual/ state of soul. Together we will explore the relationship between your beliefs, experiences, and the lens in which you see yourself and the world around you. My practice is person-centered and strength-based; providing insight, advocacy, education and encouragement to help people reach their goals.

Welcome! I have always aimed to see the good in others and have been genuinely fascinated by the way the human mind works: the way it can spiral out of control in not-so-helpful ways, for sure, but also the way it can persevere through nearly anything, protect us, and help us to create and share wonderful things. The practice of therapy is one that I not only enjoy, but honor and respect, and you will see that in working with me. I have been a licensed clinical social worker since 2013 and have practiced in various settings with many different populations.

Do you love someone who has an addiction? Have you recently lost someone close to you? Are you coming to terms with the effects of an affair or having relationship difficulties? Addiction, infidelity, grief, and loss are things that many of us struggle with and during these times it can be easy to lose sight of what we need or what makes our lives have meaning. I have found that acceptance, gratitude, and building resilience help us through our most trying times. Having done this work at many important junctures in my life, I offer my assistance to those who are going through these and other difficult life transitions.

Feelings of depression, anxiety, loss or unexpected life circumstances oftentimes have a crushing way of throwing one off balance. At an emotionally vulnerable time, it may seem even more challenging to take care of oneself and to seek help through therapy. In a safe, empathic, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment, I provide sensitive psychotherapy to adults and couples. I believe that by working with people to help them recognize the origin of their emotional distress will allow them to pull on their strengths to overcome these challenges and gain a deeper level of personal insight.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I approach my time with clients from both an individual and relational point of view. I believe it is vital to explore self-awareness and interpersonal relationships in order to understand what may be interfering with living a more fulfilling life. I understand that not everyone responds to the same experiences in the same way and that therapy needs to be designed to fit each individual clients needs based on their own histories and experiences. I will collaborate with you to make therapy a place that fits your needs.

Currently accepting individuals for telehealth.

I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, consistent & authentic relationship to provide support & new skills in your growth & self-discovery process.

If you are facing challenges in life that are holding you back, feel overwhelming, or are affecting your psychological well-being, call me. A major part of my therapy with individuals provides short term therapy that gets results. You may feel stuck, it may be difficult to get through the day, or you may hit a rough patch in life. Whether you struggle with addiction, anxiety and worry, traumatic memoires, relationships, or just need some professional direction.

Welcome! Life has a way of presenting us with difficult challenges at different points in time. Whether it is a relationship problem, career issue, loss of a loved one or change in family dynamic, managing the changing world around us can often be overwhelming. You do not have to go through this alone. I am a kind and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate difficult and stressful life transitions. Helping my clients find new grounding and hope in a judgement free space.

Sometimes when life throws us a curve ball, or when we are dealing with a more chronic, ongoing challenge, talking to a therapist can help us see our inner strengths and abilities which can help us successfully navigate through these challenging times. A good therapeutic relationship, one that allows us to be fully ourselves while recognizing our unique potential, creates the optimal conditions for healing. I provide a place where you can feel safe to explore your most difficult feelings, to resolve grief and loss, heal childhood wounds, improve communication, increase self-esteem and develop more satisfying relationships.

I am currently accepting clients for telehealth appointments. I am interested in working with clients who are working on, and want support for, a current specific issue/ concern and others who are seeking to heal past wounds to live more freely in the present day. I work with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, acute stress, and stress management in adults over 18 years of age. I most often utilize cognitive behavioral, acceptance commitment, and gestalt theories. I believe mindfulness can help support and guide the process. I work with individuals, couples and groups.

Change and disappointment are an inevitable part of life. Counseling can provide you with support as you navigate life's ups and downs.
