Grief Therapists in Connecticut
Specializing in sexual and physical abuse, I have come to know, through a loving, therapeutic relationship we can and do heal! Trauma work is meeting grief where it impacts us today, creating a holding environment to explore safely our thoughts and feelings.
"You are doing the very best you can!" We enter adulthood with a lifetime of experiences-both positive and negative. Is today feeling like a replay of past trauma, relationships struggling, parenting making you feel like a failure, while the voice in your head says, "I am not enough?" My practice is based on the beliefs, “it is never too late” and “we each have infinite worth.” The quality of our early relationship with our caregivers, repeats without our awareness. Our past need not define our present. You are worthy of finding comfort within a secure, therapeutic relationship. Together we can explore and discover healing.

Do you love someone who has an addiction? Have you recently lost someone close to you? Are you coming to terms with the effects of an affair or having relationship difficulties? Addiction, infidelity, grief, and loss are things that many of us struggle with and during these times it can be easy to lose sight of what we need or what makes our lives have meaning. I have found that acceptance, gratitude, and building resilience help us through our most trying times. Having done this work at many important junctures in my life, I offer my assistance to those who are going through these and other difficult life transitions.

My specialities: I help adults who are struggling to cope with grief, sorrow and loss to find hope.
You're grappling with painful grief and can't make sense of a loss or sudden life change. You don’t feel like yourself anymore and have lost track of where you’re headed. You have a health challenge like IBS that keeps you stuck in a painful cycle of emotional and physical turmoil and you feel resentful, frustrated, and angry with your body. Your worries about your symptoms flaring up rule your life and you’re stuck on a spin cycle of physical and emotional pain. You're lost. You’re paralyzed by anxiety, worry, overthinking and self-criticism and you can't focus. Stress, worry and panic have taken over the joy and meaning in life.

Before joining Greenwich Center for Hope & Renewal, I practiced at the Seattle Pacific University Counseling Center working with students, parents, couples, and families around many issues including grief, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and trauma.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my desire in therapy is to help individuals, couples and families find hope in the midst of struggles and to be a partner in healing through a spirit of openness, empathy and non-judgment. I am especially passionate about caring for people who are working through grief. Specifically, I have a deep desire to walk alongside women and couples who are experiencing fertility challenges, and have experience providing clinical support and facilitation for the Pacific Northwest Mind/Body Fertility Program in Seattle.

In addition to individual counseling for various issues, I am certified in The Grief Recovery Method ®, and serve as a Grief Recovery Method Specialist® for both individual and groups; and I also am an Advanced GRM Specialist for 1-1 online sessions.
My goal as a psychotherapist is to meet my clients where they are in their life journey. I have an eclectic approach to therapy, allowing the client to ultimately decide the direction of their work in the counseling process. Listening with respect and validation can move a client to seek their own truth and understanding. I integrate breathing and mindfulness techniques to create a calm environment, and for the client to be able to focus on what is important--assisting the client toward awareness, direction and healing. I believe that Awareness, Honesty and Hope are foundational in healing.

Life transitions such as divorce, the end of a significant relationship or loss of a loved one don't define you.
Change and disappointment are an inevitable part of life. Counseling can provide you with support as you navigate life's ups and downs.

Some of my areas of experience and training include working with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, workplace issues, sexual orientation, life transitions and relationship issues.
I believe that everyone's journey in life is a personal one and that we all have unique strengths. There are also times in our lives that present us with challenges when we may feel overwhelmed, sad and/or anxious. It is often difficult to identify one specific reason for these feelings. During these more challenging times we may struggle to access our strengths. Psychotherapy can be a helpful way to understand the challenges you are experiencing.
