Therapists Beginning With S in Connecticut

The goal of my work is primarily about creating a safe, warm and non-judgmental environment in which you can explore and process your concerns, fears, and other life struggles that may be impacting your relationship with yourself, others, and the world.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and folx who are at all points of their self-identity journey, who are seeking a little extra support as they navigate the ups and downs of life. Whether you're facing transitions, relationship issues, work stress, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of your next steps, I am here to help you gain insight, build coping skills, and discover new ways to approach and overcome these challenges.

"We should not have to wait until we are sick to be well." ~ Diane McLaren The connection between a healthy mind and body can not be disputed. Too much mental anguish, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship conflict, and anger will impact on an individuals' mental and physical well being, and will carry over into all areas of one's life. It is never too late to make the necessary changes and adjustments that will ensure a healthier and happier life style. If you are experiencing any of these problems, I know that I can assist you in resolving these issues.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience working with children to older adults, I have had the honor of seeing the power of human connection and supporting people in various walks of life. Currently, I work with young adults, adults and some couples on issues such as fertility, mood and anxiety disorders (including those during the perinatal period). I also work with adults struggling with self esteem, body image and adjustment issues (new parents and students leaving or returning from college).

Is there a person or situation in your life that has you second-guessing yourself? Do you feel like you have compromised your own happiness for a career, person, or societal expectations? Are you wondering how you even got here and don’t even know where to begin or how to fix it? If you have answered yes to any of these questions you are not alone! As a trained psychotherapist, I can help you navigate through your challenges as you lean into my 25+ years of personal and professional experiences.

​ Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self- esteem, or  managing your past trauma? Does it seem like things are sometimes out of control, or you don’t find joy in everyday life? Do you find yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns? Seeking out help is the first step into your journey to live a more fulfilling life.

I love it when people figure out how to feel better. When they master harnessing their emotions, and their lives change and shift in better ways. I get excited when my clients discover that they can master a problem and it encourages them to continue to work on their self growth. And when they recognize that they have capabilities and strengths that they have been overlooking. Then, they see how they can use their strengths to improve their relationships, they recognize and grow their resilience, and they discover that they can solve their own problems almost all of the time.

For more than 25 years, I have specialized in working with adults of all ages who find themselves stuck in their lives. My patients tend to be people who would like to know themselves better and discover self-defeating patterns they would like to change. Most of the people I see are facing some kind of relationship, family, or work conflict often caused by anxiety or depression. The most rewarding work for me is helping people who are motivated to change and face issues in their personality and behavioral patterns that get in the way of living life more fully.

You are not broken, you are breaking through! After a major stressor or loss, it can become more difficult to recognize the glimmers of daily life. My mission is to help you uncover your inner power so that you can begin to heal from the inside out. By starting where you are, together we will make meaning and create new experiences in order to embrace the NOW and develop a future template for the next phase of your life. I aim to achieve this through a positive attachment, collaborative, strength based and trauma informed perspective.

My private practice consists of women within the BIPOC community who have a history of sexual trauma. Majority of my clients are parents, single moms, young adults or married women trying to navigate their trauma while juggling the other parts of their life.

Living presents many challenges. I believe the people who live life most fully, in spite of the challenges, are the ones who have the strongest relationships with themselves and others. My aim is to help you strengthen your relationships so you can move forward to live your best life. You may be stuck in marital conflict, parental anxiety, a difficult change, a paralyzing loss, depression, or any other challenges. Together we will compassionately explore and understand what is holding you back. Next I will help you strengthen your own resources for developing optimal relationships and a fuller more satisfying life.
