In Person Therapists in Connecticut

As a marriage and family therapist, I have been in outpatient private practice for 20 years. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and their families on both psychiatric and non psychiatric difficulties. I work with adults on relationship counseling, as well as adults that are going through divorce. For the past 4 years I have begun tele-therapy/ coaching, called Dorm Room Coaching and Counseling with college aged students. I have seen young adults all over the US for coaching regarding their struggles while in college.

**CURRENTLY TAKING NEW CLIENTS** Welcome, I want to thank you for considering me to be a part of your journey. Finding the right therapist is imperative to treatment and I believe that the therapeutic process is a collaborative one. With that, I strive to create strong connections with my clients in a safe, open and judgment free environment. I have been working in the counseling field since 2005 after earning my Bachelors Degree in Human Services and earning my Masters Degree from Saint Joseph College in Community Counseling.

If you have excess stresses, repeated disappointments, or detachment from others, then let's find ways to resolve your difficulties. I have the privilege of serving many individuals with various psychological, emotional, and behavioral concerns. My focus is talk therapy with adults where we collaboratively explore your thoughts, feelings, and actions. We can utilize different methods to treat anxiety and depression, as well as to address issues with closeness, assertiveness, and grief. Oftentimes, relational experiences in the present rekindle our unresolved past developmental traumas or re-enact our maladaptive responses.

I believe that each of my patients is unique. I treat my patients with care and respect and help them to resolve their issues. If necessary, I have a network of respected professionals who can also make themselves available to my patients.

The first step in seeking help is sometimes the hardest and finding the right therapist may feel overwhelming. Knowing trust is essential, I am a believer that a therapeutic alliance begins at the very first interaction whether it is on the phone or the exchange of a smile in the waiting room. Through the process of therapy, I can help you identify and change unhealthy patterns. Together, we will work to bring understanding and insight to the behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that may cause uncertainty and ultimately keeps you from achieving your full potential.

Life can be unpredictable. It's often difficult to know where to begin to lift the weight off of your shoulders that things like stress and anxiety can add to. Making decisions, balancing relationships, maintaining a positive sense-of-self and many other aspects of our lives can take a back seat when life gets in the way. I find those first steps and reaching out for support to be the most difficult but I hope to make it a comfortable and easy environment for clients to do so. Whether you're a new parent, a student, someone who is affected by trauma or someone who feels they have lost touch with themselves: I am here to support you.

I have 13 years of experience working with adults with various mental health needs. I offer a safe space for you to receive compassion and understanding. This is so important as it can be a challenge to get this from the outside world. I can help you identify your inner strengths and how you can utilize your strengths to overcome your challenges. I have experience helping people learn how to cope with depression and anxiety. Depression and anxiety are not weaknesses and do not define who you are!

Your life feels like a mess, full of anxiety and panic. Your brain replays a loop of a past event or trauma that haunts you, leaving you feeling out of control. It's like you could crumble at any moment. You find yourself anticipating the next time panic or a nightmare will trap you. You miss the days where you were positive about life and you were happy and at ease. Now you feel afraid of things that used to be part of your everyday life. It's as if your mind and body have been hijacked. Your mind is filled with worries and self-doubt, and you no longer feel like you have much control over your body.

All are welcome here, let me show you that you are enough! I would love to demonstrate that therapy doesn't have to be intimidating. Together, we can create a balanced path to healing, self-understanding, and meaningful work. The beauty of alternative therapy lies in its person-centered nature, allowing you to take proactive steps and witness the results you deserve.
