Therapists in Fairfield, CT

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University. My expertise is in working with adolescents and adults to manage and overcome their difficulties with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, life transitions, and interpersonal relationships. I’m a person-centered therapist and utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, and mindfulness techniques to help my clients reach their goals, tailoring my style to best serve each client I work with.

I have found that the existential themes of anxiety, choice and meaning provide a framework from which we can view our daily struggles and often utilize metaphors highlighting these undertones to help clarify client’s statements.

Life can be challenging - and fulfilling. Many of us want deeper, more authentic relationships but aren't sure how to make them happen. We wonder who to trust. We worry about what others think of us and are highly self critical. We want to create change in our lives but fear and confusion stop us.

Our minds are often full of made up stories we have been telling ourselves for years. Often, they are stories that have been written based on who others have told us we are or are "supposed" to be. My clients are those who want to rewrite the stories that create a sense of heaviness or limit their life experience, including stories full of anxiety and negative thoughts. I help those who are looking to find inner peace, clarity, a better understanding of themselves, and freedom from the heaviness our minds and life experiences can bring.

Psychotherapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to be, learn about, and better yourself. I have experience working with a multitude of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, identity issues, personality disorders, relationship/familial concerns, substance use, life transitions, and so on. My goal is to work collaboratively with individuals and couples to help facilitate forward movement in their lives.
