Therapists in Old Saybrook, CT
I am passionate about working with college students and adults suffering from depression, anxiety, and/or addiction. In addition to targeting negative thoughts (CBT), I use an acceptance-based approach (ACT) by encouraging clients to accept current thoughts patterns. Additionally, I use EMDR to eliminate the negative impact of trauma including those resulting in PTSD.

My therapy practice focuses on creating a warm, welcoming, safe space to foster creativity, openness, and genuine sharing, empowering individuals to make positive changes. My therapeutic approach is individualized to client needs, and incorporates evidence-based techniques to improve self-awareness, cognitive restructuring, distress tolerance, interpersonal relationships, protective factors, and self-esteem, for overall improvement in emotional and behavioral regulation. In addition to talk therapy, I embrace role playing, problem-solving activities, mindfulness, and between session skill practice into my work.

You will select me as your psychologist not because I simply listen- but because together we will change, create, and organize your true self through hypnosis. Together with a Registered Dietician, have put together a program to change how you eat. After 30 plus years of working with clients in psychotherapy, I continue to look for the unexpected, the surprises, and the unknown, about the important people in your life and most of all, renewal within you. Within the last decade, I have often used hypnosis to help my clients imagine a new, desired, self.

I believe that we all have the innate power to change our own lives. To do this, we need to understand, accept and make peace with our past, and realize that it does not control us. We live right now. Regardless of what has come before, we have choices now, and the choices we make today create who we become tomorrow.

Trained in Germany and in the United States I have been able to learn from both academic and cultural traditions. Psycho-dynamic, Gestalt, Solution-focused and other approaches in Psychology led me to understand our emotional life as a strong and resilient force. This force is leading us - sometimes unnoticed - to new beginnings; we resist what is destructive and we heal at the same time.

If you are struggling in life, chances are you have a diagnosis which is termed a psychiatric disorder- but diagnoses only define the negative aspects of who you are! In fact, most "disorders" have a wealth of amazingly positive traits also associated with them. Together, you and I will work to uncover your superpowers- those positive traits that diagnoses don't cover, and which make you amazing. Some of the therapies we incorporate into our practice include art therapy, Internal Family Systems, Authenticity Therapy, various styles of quick and effective trauma treatment, practical life skills, mindfulness (DBT) and CBT.
