Lesbian Therapists in Durham, CT

Twenty-five years into it, I still love being a counselor and psychotherapist. It is an honor and a privilege to be involved in the personal struggle and transformation of each client, couple, and family I see. I regard therapy more as an art than a science, though I certainly utilize current research in my practice. Most often my clients present problems in living rather than "mental illness" per se and they appreciate my attention to their strengths, resources, and spiritual concerns.

Now accepting new clients. We all experience challenges and traumatic events throughout our lives, and there comes a time when we need someone to help make sense of it all.

Together, we will enable you to reach the other side of your journey of personal growth and healing, with the goal of ultimately feeling more personally empowered, to find calm and peace within yourself, and for the relationships that are important to you.
