Whether with partners, family, friends, children, parents or at your work, relationships are the centerpieces of our lives. Handled thoughtfully, they uplift, or they can frustrate, provoke guilt and aggravate. For twenty-five years I have helped people to find greater satisfaction through better understanding of the events in their lives, along with honest discussions of options and helping to find the motivation to move forward. I have published articles about marriage, parenting, and growing healthier relationships, and a book: HOW TO KNOW IF ITS TIME TO GO. Website: lbirnbach.com. I work interactively and confidentially.

Have past therapies not worked and are you back to dealing with the same patterns that cause you to feel disconnected? Using the modalities of Relational Life Therapy and the Enneagram, a typology tool, I help you deal with those parts of you that don't want to do the skills you have learned in other therapies. My approach is compassionate and honest with the intention of helping you become mindfully aware of that which keeps you stuck and frustrated in order to guide you towards improved self-awareness and a more fulfilling life of connection, understanding, and love.

Taking the first steps towards seeking treatment can feel daunting. Finding the right therapeutic fit is paramount in your journey. My mission is to collaborate with clients in a holistic and personalized way to help you achieve your goals towards stability and healing. Challenging life experiences can come upon suddenly, leaving you feeling bewildered and wondering what to do next. Parents can get stressed, children often feel misunderstood and act out. Sometimes you may be coping in unhealthy or unhelpful ways. A trained therapist can help you sort out your feelings while providing practical suggestions that offer you insight on how you can move forward.

Your search for a therapist may be prompted by challenges stemming from your past, a current situation or just a desire to achieve a more fulfilled sense of self. No matter the impetus, my intent is to facilitate your process of self-exploration, self-actualization and healing in a place of comfort and safety. My therapeutic style is individualized and empathic. I incorporate various psychotherapeutic approaches based on your goals and needs as well as my education and experiences.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut. I am a bilingual BIPOC therapist with a decade of experience and a commitment to collaboration with my clients. I received my Master's degree from the University of Connecticut and am currently working on my Doctorate in Social Work. I have been practicing for ten years. I specialize in guiding adults through trauma healing with a personalized plan that fits their needs and considers their cultural considerations and strengths.

Receiving the experience of being truly heard, seen and known without preconceptions or judgement is the unique gift that the client/therapist relationship brings. It is a joy and an honor to have the opportunity to offer this healing relationship to my clients. In my 22 years of practicing I see how deep acceptance of my clients stirs the embers of their remembering of who they are. I am respectfully directive with my clients; offering them the shift in perception and ensuing behaviors that can transform their suffering into peace and a life lived with the joy of personal authenticity.

Life is stressful, sometimes overwhelming. Having a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings is central to the healing process. I believe meaningful personal and emotional growth occurs when you feel understood and accepted. My goal is to empathetically listen, explore and collaborate with you on your journey towards healing.

Trauma (big and small) can create symptoms and experiences of anxiety/depression, low self esteem, feeling 'stuck', negative core beliefs, dissociation, somatic flashbacks, sexual addictions, and shame/guilt. These are some of the symptoms our work together will address. Common goals include decreasing the impact of prior trauma(s), increased self esteem, decreased shame or intrusive thoughts, and healthier core beliefs-to name a few! Clients I work with are motivated to change, and often seek more fulfillment, healthier relationships, and more mental peace.

I will welcome you into a safe and non-judgmental place where you can explore what it could be like to find the freedom to live your life with self-compassion while taking full responsibility. I believe therapy can help you find a sense of peace in your life because you are able to identify your own power, your own wisdom and really focus on what brings your life joy. If your family is experiencing difficulties then family therapy is a necessary first step toward finding a more harmonious family life.

Life has many challenges. It's how you grow from your past that defines who you are in life. You may feel alone, misunderstood, and unfulfilled with your life or personal relationships. Perhaps you're having intense negative emotions. People typically enter therapy when they are in distress, although it's usually the long-term and underlying struggles that concern them the most. Initially, we will work quickly to address your immediate pain and provide relief. As therapy progresses, our focus may shift so you develop more positive and enriching relationships with yourself and others.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unhappy? Are you and your partner having trouble communicating or getting along? Are you concerned about your child's behavior? Going through a difficult life transition? If so, I can help! My goal as a therapist is to offer connection and support. By talking about the challenges you're facing in a safe and non-judgmental space, I help my clients gain greater insight and awareness to the underlying causes of their distress. From there, I work collaboratively with my clients to find solutions to their problems that are practical and long-lasting.

The choice to begin therapy is often laden with emotions and questions. From this initial decision process to later stages, I bring warmth and a strong skill set to every person and couple I treat. Together, we focus on connecting current problems to old patterns, finding meaning in symptoms and identifying realistic approaches to change. The approach I use is highly collaborative and will be tailored to suit your needs.
