Psychodynamic Therapists in Avon, CT
Choosing a therapist feels overwhelming, the right connection can change your whole experience. Whether you’ve been in therapy before or it’s your first time, taking the steps to get started is the hardest part. Daily life can be challenging and stressful. Managing daily responsibilities, work, significant others/family/friends; on top of stress of anxiety, that sometimes comes out of no where, depression and/or relationship issues can feel impossible. Learning to balance it all seems out of reach, but it doesn't have to. I have extensive experience in helping people manage through these difficulties and more.

People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. Maybe you are tired of your own BS and are finally ready to make lasting change. Perhaps, your romantic relationships, family connections, or friendships are lackluster, unfulfilling and you’re ready to set yourself up for relationship success. You may have gone through major (or even minor) life changes and now feel like old patterns that you had once resolved are coming back to haunt you. Or maybe you’ve always struggled with communicating your wants and needs and are ready to learn how to have your voice be heard while still preserving your relationships.

Are you overwhelmed and exhausted? Have you lost interest in people and activities you used to enjoy? Feeling sad or anxious? Is it difficult to think clearly, make decisions, feel positive about the future? For many stress, depression and panic have become a way of life. Somehow we end up on autopilot, disappointed, nervous and disillusioned, feeling like we have no choice. Work can become more and more demanding but less and less rewarding. Relationships can become strained or unfulfilling. We can feel helpless and hopeless. You are not the only one!

*Not currently accepting new clients* Generalizations about therapy are difficult; experiences are as unique as the individuals involved and are unlike any that encountered in family, work, or personal life. Therapy requires involvement of and trust between clinician and client during and between sessions and asks questions or presents issues that may be difficult to discuss. Uncomfortable or unfamiliar emotions may arise, and exploration can lead to reduction in distressing feelings and greater understanding of one's experience, which many people experience as highly rewarding.

I understand that life can be a difficult and trying journey. By receiving the appropriate help and skilled guidance we are better able to weather life's difficulties and gain understanding into our situations. This in turn will allow us to live better lives. My practice of psychotherapy is a broad brush which includes, but not limited to, trauma, addiction and gender issues. My work incorporates the use of EMDR, CBT, gestalt therapy, visualization and mindfulness training. As a psychotherapist, I am committed to my own growth. I feel this offers me continued insight not only within myself, but with my clients as well.

**Please note that I am not accepting new patients at this time.** Relationships are central to the human experience. They shape our expectations about the world, our interactions, and others in our lives. At times, our experiences can leave us feeling dissatisfied, disconnected, and even disillusioned. I am a licensed clinical and health psychologist, working with adults seeking treatment for depression, anxiety, maternal mental illness, vicarious trauma, and those managing life transitions.

The most important piece to having a successful therapeutic experience is the therapeutic alliance. With almost 20 years of experience,working with adults and adolescents I have learned that the approach I take with the person(s) I am working with depends on their own specific personality, history, culture, current life stressors and what they are looking to achieve by seeking therapeutic services.

My approach to psychotherapy is focused on increasing self-understanding and changing longstanding patterns in thinking, feeling or relating to others that are no longer working. I view psychotherapy as an open-ended, collaborative relationship aimed at helping individuals look inward to find new solutions, develop healthier patterns and achieve emotional balance. My treatment philosophy is based in the Bio-psycho-social Model, in which a person's problems are understood in the context of their unique biological, psychological, social and environmental influences, and therapeutic approaches and interventions are chosen accordingly.

My primary area of expertise is in working with individuals with substance use disorders and related co-occurring disorders. I have extensive experience working with individuals with anxiety, depression,and trauma. I use a synthesis of different approaches rooted in cognitive behavioral and acceptance and commitment therapy but including insights and strategies drawn from a broad range of other therapeutic modalities. This allows for a flexible approach tailored to the needs of the individual and responsive and adaptable to the input regarding what is most helpful, constructive, and productive for each client.
