Welcome! I specialize in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Anxiety related issues, and Trauma/PTSD with adults and teens. I approach therapy in a way that is more than just talking, but highly experiential, present-centered, and focused on making change within and outside of session. Many of our wounds are relational, so establishing a secure and healthy therapeutic relationship is at the foundation of my work. I aim to cultivate a space where you feel unconditionally supported while also being challenged in a direct and kind manner.

Everyone has a story to tell. Our life experiences make our ever-evolving story unique. And sometimes, those experiences are painful… Broken relationships that we fought hard to keep together. Hating the person we see when we look in the mirror. Constantly comparing our failures to others who seem to have it all together. It’s just one disappointing chapter after another.

As a specialist in the treatment of psychological trauma, anxiety and depression, I know you need relief. With more than 40 years of clinical experience, my clients tell me they most appreciate my patience, insight, skill and good humor. I can help you find the person you were truly meant to be. Let go of old hurts and limiting beliefs. Heal and deepen your relationships and live a life filled with a clear and inspired sense of meaning and purpose. I have a limited number of reduced fee appointments available, allocated based on availability and significant need.

I am a fellow traveler on the path of healing. My own healing process informs my work as therapist as much as my different trainings have taught me. We cannot escape our past, but can use its teachings to open up our present and future. There is a wise person and healer within the limits our trauma has imposed upon us. Finding that inner resource is my vision for anyone choosing to work with me.

Are you experiencing: anxiety, malaise, feeling stuck, indecision, less connected, angry, or a sense something is missing? Are your intimate relationships satisfying? Is doubling down on “getting back to basics” or are you still wrestling with abstinence? We don’t fail or struggle from a lack of desire or willpower. We fail or struggle from a lack of support. You likely need more support than AA, or an IOP provides. I provide a personal, customized approach that can improve the effectiveness of your other efforts dramatically. Getting and staying sober is so much more than putting down the substance.

Hello there! My name is Tina and I aim to be a warm, authentic, and comforting presence in your life. As a therapist, I'm asking you to be vulnerable and you deserve a soft place to land. Free from judgment. Therapy is about being curious. Exploring thoughts, feelings, and experiences and how they intersect. From which you may feel a more grounded sense of self. I will sit in those heavy emotions with you without trying to immediately fix, solve, or change you. Just accept and validate and be with you before we do any change talk. My goal is for you to attain a sense of self efficacy. I want to see you believe in yourself again.

Do you feel burdened or like you are not able to live life with freedom, joy and peace? Whether we have hurts from the past or anxiety and depression that seem overwhelming; it can be helpful to have someone there who understands and provides non-judgmental, supportive feedback. When we experience challenges, crisis and difficult circumstances; important goals in therapy are learning to identify how our thoughts trigger our emotions and developing coping skills to process them.

I am currently accepting new clients and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based trauma therapy. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Connecticut, I have extensive experience working with teens, adolescents, and children dealing with depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues. I use various therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, play therapy, and family systems therapy. Whether you need EMDR for trauma, support for your child, or help with life transitions, I am here to assist you in learning the necessary skills for success.

I’m a counselor who takes a playful, interpersonal, brain-based approach to helping children and families overcome challenges. I want to help children and families find the skills they need to manage the physiological effects of stress in challenging moments. I believe that parent involvement is the most significant driving force in helping children better manage big emotions. I take a collaborative approach in working with parents and children. Together, we will explore the underlying challenges that are impacting behavior, rather than focusing on behavior alone.
