In Person Therapists in Newington, CT

I am a therapist committed to assisting children, adolescents, adults, and families to confront and address trauma, repair and strengthen families, and provide pathways to mental health services.

My mission as a psychotherapist and holistic wellness coach is to help clients through crisis or day to day life challenges. I have experience in helping clients who are struggling with their mental health, addiction and or co-occurring disorders, and personal development. With my experience as both a therapist and a life coach I help people achieve their goals by incorporating interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, talk therapy, holistic healing, motivational interviewing and client centered practices.

Do you struggle with living in a state of overwhelm that affects your work, home life, or relationships? Are you finding yourself strongly reacting to seemingly small things, and wondering, “what’s wrong with me?” Do you feel out of touch with yourself, outside of yourself, shutting down mentally & emotionally? Are you feeling lost, unheard, or betrayed in your relationship? If you can answer "yes" to any of these questions, then you have come to the right place, and there is hope for you. In the work we do together, you will be able to have more moments of contentment, assuredness, and power over your own wellness.

Over 20 years of clinical experience working with adolescents, teenagers, and young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and addiction in various treatment settings. Diversity and multicultural issues are embedded in everything we do and contribute to presenting problems. I am conscious of varying decision-making preferences, the role of family dynamics, stages of life, socioeconomic status, and issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity. As well as the stigma associated with seeking mental health services.

Our mind is a battlefield. Individuals often fight thoughts and feelings of guilt, shame, worthlessness, and regret throughout their lifetime and often engage in maladaptive behaviors to medicate the pain they are dealing with. Many times mental health problems stem from spiritual issues and deep rooted, distorted core beliefs. When life gets rough, these core beliefs often rise to the surface and cause us to go in a downward spiral of depression and negative harmful behaviors. Therapy is a powerful ally to help conquer the negative and often debilitating thoughts that try to take over every aspect of our lives.
