Therapists in Connecticut

Life has a way of proving just how much is out of our control, but that doesn’t have to stop us from pursuing and achieving our goals. While navigating roadblocks, therapy can help you process feelings of uncertainty, loneliness and anxiety. I understand how difficult the journey to mental wellness can be and am honored to walk beside you. Ultimately, I believe in your ability to discern the right path and solutions. I believe it is my role to assist in uncovering those answers and support healing while offering a space to be vulnerable. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, infertility, and life transitions.

As a psychotherapist who has personally experienced the emotional journey of infertility, I bring a unique perspective to my practice. I understand the complex emotions that can accompany an infertility diagnosis, including feelings of grief, loss, and isolation. With warmth, empathy, and sensitivity, I help clients navigate the unique challenges of infertility, providing individualized support tailored to meet their specific needs and goals.

Happy you are here! Searching for support is when shifts happen.I am a clinical social worker, health/life coach, yoga/meditation teacher, reiki practitioner & embody dance teacher specializing in college life, anxiety, ADHD, infertility, endometriosis, and birth preparation/after care support. I incorporate yoga, movement, mindfulness, breath work and meditation to aide in the therapeutic process, as indicated. I utilize DBT, CBT, IFS (I am IFS informed) & other therapy modalities. My approach is eclectic, drawing on all of the above, to treat a wide range of living challenges. Together we will create the "space" you most desire.

While people come to therapy with me for all kinds of different reasons, most people I work with seek to address stress, anxiety, depression, and/or relationship issues. People also come to therapy with me following stressful events or life changes. I also have a particular interest and expertise in reproductive psychology, focusing on treatment related to issues such as infertility, pregnancy loss, pregnancy complications, and postpartum adjustment.

Life today is a lot. School, work, partners, parents, social lives, social media-you name it. Whatever you are feeling and going through, therapy can help. Therapy can identify patterns that are impacting your life or be a place to have unbiased support for you. Working with a therapist offers you someone that is understanding, non-judgmental, empathetic and skilled. I offer a safe, quiet and supportive place to deal with life’s problems. My approach is to work collaboratively with clients, with humor and grace. Together we will establish goals and work to achieve them.

My 25+ years of experience includes working with survivors of trauma and violence; intimate partner violence; depression; anxiety and panic; stress management; individuals with histories in foster care; infertility; and parenting- particularly single parenting. The foundation of my practice are trauma-informed and psychodynamic approaches, and I have pursued additional training in solution-focused techniques, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, meditation, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

I believe in the beautiful complexity of humans and in human fortitude to navigate what hurts. As a therapist, I am here to help deepen your understanding of the wonder and the pain within your story and make space for something new. Reaching for support takes courage; I will meet you on your path, we'll assess your needs together, and work to let healing unfold. I have expertise and a special dedication to those managing perinatal challenges including infertility and loss. I also work with those coping with anxiety, trauma, depression, the myriad of life’s transitions, and the unique experience of first responders.

Life is challenging and difficult to negotiate. The goal of therapy is to identify and build on your strengths so we can better manage life's stressors. My goal is to help people achieve their dreams and goals. Your past doesn't have to be your present or future. In addition to providing treatment for those living with depression or anxiety, I also specialize in issues relating to infertility, and the Gifted/Talented individual.

Do you find yourself navigating the complexities of reproduction or parenthood?

We want you to emerge from this experience feeling the best version of yourself and fully equipped to embrace the joys and challenges of this journey.

I am the owner and a primary therapist in my practice, Premier Counseling Services (PCS). I have been practicing clinical social work for 14 years.

I have experience working with all age groups with a special focus in the treatment of depression, anxiety, self-esteem building, family/marital relationships and infertility counseling. It takes courage to ask for help, and I believe the best therapy includes client/therapist collaboration and using your strengths to address your areas of concern.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* I applaud you in taking the first step! Life can take us down curvy roads that can be overwhelming and scary. Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, why do it alone? If you allow me to take the journey with you, we can work together to combat and address the issues at hand.

You’re a woman who knows what she wants out of life. But things aren’t going the way you envisioned. Perhaps fertility issues have left you feeling lost, frustrated, and sad. Or maybe motherhood has overwhelmed you to the point of anxiety and depression. Infertility, loss, or even entering motherhood can force you to face seemingly insurmountable mental health struggles. But you are a resilient woman with incredible inner strength. With the right therapist by your side, you can use those innate strengths, overcome your challenges, fully engage in your life, effectively cope with whatever comes your way, and genuinely thrive.
