In Person Therapists in Middletown, CT

*Accepting new in person and/or telehealth (virtual) referrals * People choose therapy for various reasons but the goal remains the same: wanting to heal, feel better, and learn how to be mentally healthy long term. For over 10 years I have helped teens and adults achieve those results through education, mindfulness, authentic and culturally responsive communication, and various evidence based practices. Identifying mental health concerns and understanding how they impact you is not always an easy task. Having the right person to support and guide is an essential piece to your healing and growth.

***Accepting new patients*** Brene Brown says, that "daring greatly is being brave and afraid every minute of the day at the exact same time". Deciding to participate in therapy is one of the most brave and scary decisions a person can make, but it is also one of the most rewarding. I congratulate you on taking the step to see change happen, and it would be an honor to walk with you through this journey! Using a strengths based perspective, together we will work to address the various barriers and life circumstances that are getting in the way of living your best life.

It is inevitable that life brings its share of pain and suffering. Sometimes this pain and suffering can be overwhelming and prevent us from living a meaningful and happy life.

Have you been experiencing anxiety due to a recently diagnosed of Cancer or a chronic medical condition? Are you starting a new phase of life and feel overwhelmed? Did you recently experience the loss of your beloved spouse or dear friend? All of these are anxiety producing and very difficult.

I am here to help you with these overwhelming feelings so that you can handle these hard life events in the best way possible.

Sometimes, life deals us an awful hand with so many wounds and hurts that we have no idea how we'll get through. We feel sad, anxious, overwhelmed, angry, depressed and don't know how to move forward with that emotion. We find ourselves stuck in the same patterns and don't know how to change them. Frequently, our relationships struggle as a result. I believe in becoming whole and healing from these wounds and hurts. I believe each person has innate characteristics that make this healing possible. In therapy, our goal is to remove these constraints that prevent you from accessing your core Self and create a life that feels lighter.
