Sexual Addiction Therapists in Mansfield Center, CT

Are you a person of faith who has been experiencing difficulties in life? Have you found yourself asking, "If God is all-good and all-powerful, why is there so much evil in the world, and in my own life?!" Have your emotions taken a turn for the worse? Do you find yourself depressed and/or anxious - more often than not? Have you been turning to alcohol and/or drugs to "kill the pain?" Are you plagued by, or living in, the past, and/or filled with fear and uncertainty regarding the future? Finally, do you want to find a way out of all the overwhelming & frustrating emotions that have been putting your life on "pause?"

Personal power is a phrase often said, but not always understood. Owning the impact of the choices you make, comes with recognizing the power your voice and behavior have on your future. The journey I have chosen has offered me the understanding of the physical and emotional impact of change, by owning my power to have the life I want. I want to offer you the support we all require, to consciously begin your journey to own your power to change your life.

After almost 30 years in mental health, I'm still passionate about the work I do. With that said, I'm here to help with the problems that have brought you to therapy. Gathering information and developing our relationship, along with trust and creating a safe space to share are my strengths in helping others. I use various approaches to assist clients. Along with this, I enjoy educating about how we learn and form in an inter-generational family system and how we can transmit problems in that family system unconsciously. This can inform and empower growth and change.

Change is an intrinsic part of life. It is inevitable, often painful even when it is a change that we desire to make. At other times it is thrust upon us. Much of my focus is about navigating change and understanding the forces that have brought us to the point of change or the need to change. Symptoms of depression and anxiety or addiction, for example, are often signs to tell us that something needs to change in our lives. My practice is science based, non-judgemental, collaborative, and my style quickly puts my clients at ease.
