Therapists in Connecticut

My intention as a therapist is to be your guide on your journey to healing. I believe everyone has the ability to heal and create the life they have always dreamed of. Many times we have unconscious blocks that keep us from living the life we want. These "blocks" are often unhealed wounds that cause individuals to have negative beliefs, anxiety, depression, and even physical symptoms. I can assist you in identifying these blocks and restoring the natural balance with your mind, body, and spirit.

I hope amid the challenges of life, I can make one thing easier- the process of finding the right fit therapist. At Root to Rise Counseling and Wellness, I partner with clients to decrease points of suffering and increase ability to move through life with ease, not just surviving, but thriving. With over 25 years' experience working in therapy private practice, hospitals and clinics, and trauma programs, my work addresses concerns including trauma, abuse, and PTSD, illness and pain, anxiety, religious trauma, transitions, grief, and relational challenges.

INDIVIDUAL, COUPLES and COUPLES THERAPY for “ONE.” If you’re stressed, anxious, depressed, lonely, and/or stuck: rediscover your strengths! Heal from confusion, feeling lost, fighting, anger, infidelity, and harsh self-judgments. Your personal and professional life can improve. Even during these pandemic difficult times we can make positive life changing decisions about love or career. Step by step our therapy builds a stronger, compassionate and flourishing self. SPECIAL AWARENESS of the needs of ACADEMICS, ENTREPRENEURS, PROFESSIONALS, FREELANCERS, BUSINESS OWNERS, CREATIVE PEOPLE.

Good therapy is an investment in yourself. Often times we find ourselves stretched too thin with too many responsibilities and not enough time. We become depressed, anxious, and unsatisfied with our lives. Past experiences and trauma tell us that we are not good enough, not worth the effort, and destined to fail. We are taught to put others first and sacrifice our own needs. We give until there is nothing left, we feel unfulfilled, and yet we keep trying the same old thing, hoping for different results. There is another way, a better way. I want to help you on your journey to becoming the best possible version of yourself.

Do you have a sense of loss or sadness that won't go away? Do you often feel angry or disappointed by others? Are you sleepless at night with overwhelming worry? Do you experience a sense of numbness or emptiness? We have about 70,000 thoughts a day. Many are a replay of past experiences that create an inner sense or feeling that seems to take hold. Add to that traumatic experiences and sometimes life can feel difficult. Unfortunately most of us haven't been taught how to manage feelings and so we often develop coping tools that keep us feeling safe for a while until the next trigger comes along.

She developed her principle of systemic psychotherapy based on the utilization of a diverse range of clinical techniques (from science and art), but also a broad capacity of introspection (from spirituality).

We also didn't sacrifice the quality of care delivered, but even increased it. We now offer in-person and virtual visits in CT, FL, NJ, NV, and PA.
