Therapists in Old Saybrook, CT

Looking for a safe place to regain your footing and let go of old patterns that hold you back? I have been practicing psychotherapy for 29 years. My practice is relationship based and heart centered.After working in various residential settings with adolescents, I grew to believe in the resilience and strength of the human spirit.Working with both traditional and nontraditional techniques, I can assist you in discovering your true potential. With a background in family systems, I believe that by letting go of patterns learned in childhood and rewriting old messages, therapy can free you to live your life more productively.

I believe in treating your whole being - mind, body, and spirit. As both a guide and a witness to your healing, I want to give you the tools to help you see yourself, your experiences, and your emotions through a lens of self-compassion and curiosity. We will go gently and at your pace. My approach is integrative, rooted in evidence-based techniques, with mindfulness and somatic awareness weaved in.

Do you suffer low self-esteem because you have difficulty maintaining daily responsibilities at school, work, or home? Do you struggle with sitting for long periods or staying on task? Do you sometimes feel as though you are "controlled" by strong waves of emotion or anger? Maybe you're discovering trouble in your relationships with others due to forgetfulness, time management, impulsiveness, substance abuse, or general communication issues.

I specialize in using an integrative, mind-body-spirit approach to help individuals get back in touch with their own inner source of wisdom, creativity, and empowerment. Reconnecting with the deeper parts of yourself is often the key to overcoming challenges and moving forward again. Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore what is troubling you, as well as ways to heal and grow that reflect the potential of your True Self. I am passionate about seeing my clients use this process to make positive changes and create the life they want.

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.

Welcome! First and foremost, I would like to congratulate you on showing up for yourself and beginning this journey of self-growth. After all, that is truly what therapy is about. I believe therapy allows us the opportunity to reflect through the different seasons of life and ultimately our relationship with ourselves. Please feel encouraged for just beginning this process and imagine what the world would be like if we all embraced healthy self-discovery. Although therapy may be viewed as counter-cultural, I encourage you to stand firm in taking care of yourself and evolving into a more authentic you.

Currently taking clients for >diagnostic evaluations<, couples, & >group therapy<. I am a caring, evidence-based, and holistic (consideration of the whole) therapist looking forward to challenging cases from people needing my expertise. Making use of a wide variety of therapies, from verbal to non-verbal, devoting much time on each of the select cases I take, and engaging in colleague consultations, I am often able to help with even the most challenging of issues. I also see children, doing family therapy even for the toughest kids. You'll see the difference family support makes, rather than my just trying to "fix the kid".

We can do hard things. Throughout life many of these hard things can get in the way of us achieving our goals and continuing on with our journey. I am passionate about helping teens and adults overcome anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and life struggles to meet their goals. You are the creator of your life, I aim to help you on that journey. I also specialize in working with women whom are seeking to build their confidence, self-esteem, and step into their best version of themselves.
