Toddler Therapists in Bloomfield, CT

Accepting new clients: I am a Christian Counselor who allows faith to be expressed. I provide a confidential and safe environment to explore specific reasons for seeking counseling.You may be experiencing difficulties with relationships, struggling with events from the past or be at a place in life you desire change and greater satisfaction. My treatment methods are based on the individual's presenting needs, assessment data and evidence-based practices. I utilize a strength-based approach, commonly using cognitive and behavioral therapeutic modalities, skills training, and education. Empathy & support will be provided.

**Currently I am not accepting new patients ** I am an LCSW who also holds a doctorate in Social Work. I enjoy working with a wide array of patients; however, I specialize in those who struggle with emotional and behavioral issues. I have an extensive history working with those transitioning and other life phases, specifically with transgender and nonbinary teens and youth and the LGBTQIA+ population as a whole. I do work with clients of all ages and utilize different modalities along with a holistic approach to ensure the patients' needs are being addressed in the most effective way possible.

I use mindfulness & Internal Family Systems therapy to help clients resolve their underlying trauma and grief issues that get in the way of having fulfilling lives and relationships. I combine warmth and compassionate listening with teaching clients skills to learn to better manage their feelings, including anxiety and depression, while using breathing, body-centered, and other spiritual principles to help clients heal. Clients will learn to heal themselves and build more satisfying relationships and futures for themselves and their families. The techniques I use apply well to both children and adults to help clients deal with adverse behaviors and addictions.

Life is hard and even downright frustrating at times. Everybody faces challenges in life but you don't have to go through them alone. It is OK to get some help while going through life. The first step to overcoming, breaking through, recovering and succeeding starts with the first phone call to come see me. Know your worth! Be brave enough to break the stigma we face surrounding counseling and therapy. I work hard to create a very safe space - no judging, no shaming - where you can be free to share what it is you might be struggling to conquer. Together we can get through it!

After 33 years of experience with adults, children, families, and couples, and many transformational groups, I developed Heart Path Therapy® (HPT), integrating the most life changing tools. They include ancient spiritual wisdom, guided imagery, inner childwork, energy psychology (similar to EFT & EMDR), use of sound, and ancestral connection work (Family Constellations). The goal is to transform emotional and relational struggles by bringing compassion to the source and in turn empower a greater sense of meaning and purpose in life. Join an adolescent or adult HPT® GROUP, inspiring online heart opening communities.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." ~Lao~ Life is a journey; my work with children, adults and families is a partnership. During this collaboration I will assist with resolving the conflict and challenges of life.

Now accepting new clients! Are you exhausted from carrying around the weight of anxiety? Does the struggle to get through your day with depression make you want to stay in bed? Are you overwhelmed by society's pressure to stay positive and try harder? Mental health issues can make even the most minor tasks seem impossible. You can’t get away from the swirling negative thoughts in your mind long enough to accomplish your goals. You want to engage with life and be present with your loved ones, but it all seems like too much effort. You need someone to guide you out of the dark and help you find your path to wellness.

You are amazing! Many of our roots were established in childhood and life just grew on top of it. I’m here to help you see, acknowledge, and tend to those roots.
