I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years and licensed in Connecticut as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 2000. I specialize in adult individual and family counseling and I have worked in CT for years. I have extensive training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or DBT, a highly effective treatment model used by quality programs around the world. I also use tools which target the unhealthy, self-sabotaging, and destructive thoughts and behaviors that have outlived their usefulness and tend to persistently result in sustained misery. A recent addition of spirituality has led to dramatic results in my patients

Please ask me about marriage therapy intensives designed to move you and your partner more quickly towards a healthy resolution to relationship struggles.
If you're stuck in a pattern of behavior or thinking that isn't working for you and you want to feel better, I welcome your call! I use traditional psychotherapy as well as acupressure and other body-based techniques to help clients improve quickly. I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are interested in a holistic approach to healing that includes incorporating diet, exercise and mindfulness strategies. I also run groups for men and women throughout the year.

As a marriage and family therapist, I have been trained to look at things systemically - the relationships in our life, the connections, the influence and impact of the various factors that make up our lives.
As a mom, single parent, and professional, I know how important it is to check-in with ourselves; being able to look at our lives deeply. To understand where our thoughts and beliefs come from, how we can best nurture our emotions and move through life's changes. It's important to remember we are doing the best we can. Yet, sometimes it feels too hard or we feel uncertain how to grow. We are human. We all have challenges, wounds or uncertainties as we go through one life stage to another. Having the right support and resources can help move us toward a path of growth and comfort.
