Therapists Beginning With D in Connecticut

My clinical focus is PTSD, developmental trauma and addictive disorders. I combine traditional "talk" therapy with QEEG-informed Neurofeedback and EMDR, where appropriate. This offers you the best chance of healing past emotional wounds, alleviating symptoms, and living more fully in the present. The subtle, transformative power of Neurofeedback helps many clients resolve the traumatic stress, fear and anxiety that often underly behavioral and addictive disorders. EMDR is another powerful tool that can help resolve emotional trauma, improve functioning, and help you become more present-focused.

I have 24 years of experience working with adults and high school students in managing depression, anxiety, and building better relationships. I have extensive experience working in schools supporting both students and educators.

NOT CURRENTLY TAKING CLIENTS. The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.

I believe that building trust is an essential step to creating a strong therapeutic relationship. It is essential in my practice to personally engage each client to tailor treatment to address specific client needs. I am compassionate and patient, yet direct and offer support in any way that I can.

It is very easy to be overwhelmed by stressors when you do not have the tools to manage them. Many people never had the opportunity to learn how to understand their emotions, manage distressing situations or communicate their needs to others.

I specialize in working with all things "fear". Fear is one of our most innate emotions, and the basis of many challenges like OCD, anxiety, phobias, and more. Though fear does serve an important purpose, for some people it can feel out of control; like it impacts every choice and thought that you have. If fear is something that is overwhelming for you, my goal is to help you take control back and better understand fear's role and purpose for you, so you can have a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

The majority of clients I’ve serve are often facing significant life challenges or transitions and are seeking guidance and support to overcome them.

Whether you're grappling with the aftermath of abuse, navigating a mental health condition, or facing other life obstacles, I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey of healing and growth.

As a parent, you've been worried about what you see your teen going through. The excessive anxiety about school, relationships, and the struggle to adjust to any change in routine. Their stress level is high and they isolate from friends and family. You watch them play video games, scroll through social media and binge on Netfilx, but they never tell you what's going on. That's the scariest part. You want to help them, but you can't break through. And on top of that, the pandemic. You know it can't continue like this any longer.
