Female Therapists in Oxford, CT

My counseling style is warm, empathetic, motivational and collaborative using a strength-based approach. I view client difficulties through a systemic lens, integrating information from all areas of life. I help clients work through a variety of issues, such as but not limited to anxiety, PTSD, depression, grief, anger, and relational challenges.

Welcome! My goal as a licensed therapist is to create a safe place for you to feel comfortable and supported. I do not look at therapy as a “one size fits all” approach, instead I enjoy utilizing different modalities to best fit and support the individual client. Some approaches that I utilize can range from strength and evidence-based approaches to mindfulness practices. I enjoy incorporating the client's interests into our sessions, which creates a personal, fun, and interesting outlook on interventions and therapy as a whole!

Accepting New Clients! You are not alone… together we will work through what brings you here today. Most people at one time or another experience something that brings them to therapy. We are here to help you find the right fit to comfortably explore those issues. We will work collaboratively through guided self exploration to find a resolution or a new healthy way of coping through difficult situations and develop a strong emotional resilience.

Whether you're looking to make major changes in your life or just need some support and guidance during a difficult transition, I can help! I love helping people grow, heal and recover from a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief, relationship and self-esteem issues, as well as substance use, addiction and recovery.

Relieving symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other concerns is a primary focus of treatment. I strive to educate clients on these symptoms and work with them to minimize their effect on their lives, relationships and ability to reach goals. I'm able to evaluate a client's relationship with drugs and alcohol and uncover if their use of substances contributes to stress in their life and relationships. I find that an individualized plan is ideal and this may involve individual, group, family/couples care or a combination of options. I have 20+ years in practice and can offer that experience to you and your family.

I believe that transformation is possible for every person and that each client is a unique individual who needs to be understood from their personal worldview. I can help you identify coping skills for difficulties you are having - addiction, anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, divorce; and strategies to help you become empowered and in touch with your feelings. I can help you resolve the problems for which you are seeking treatment but also to help you to identify your strengths that will allow you to experience happiness and peace within yourself and others, and to live a life that you envision!!

It is my hope that those who come to therapy feel listened to in a warm and inviting place that promotes hope and healing. I approach therapy like a verb. It takes action to change, fix or improve. Just simply calling or coming in for a first visit begins the journey to making things better.

When life's adversities discourage and distract you from obtaining peace, I am available to support you in understanding yourself as we partner in renewing your mind, body and spirit. It is my passion to encourage and empower you to improve your ability to thrive and find healing.

Hi! I am so glad you are here. Starting therapy takes courage, and it’s the first step in regaining control of your life and feeling better. Depression, anxiety and trauma can stop you from meeting your true potential. If you are finding yourself always meeting other people’s needs and then struggling to meet your own, or you are looking to develop healthier relationships with friends, family, romantic partners, or yourself, I’d be honored to help you get there. I am confident that together we can identify your goals and work towards developing meaningful insight and sustainable change.

My wish for you is that you are able to thrive, in whatever unique way that looks for you. As a person-centered therapist, my focus is on creating a safe, therapeutic space where you can feel seen, understood and empowered to meet your goals. As an Internal Family Systems therapist in training I help my clients better understand the various “parts” of themselves and create the conditions to facilitate mental and emotional healing.

You have taken the first step to explore accepting therapy and you should feel proud that you have decided to get help. This has been a very challenging time for us all. The issues which were troubling you: stress in your relationships with family and friends or life changes/separation, divorce, retirement, illness or loss may have intensified during the pandemic. The stressful time we are living through may also contribute to your suffering. Please consider working with me to feel better. I offer daytime, evening and week-end hours in person in the office and telehealth.

I am a seasoned clinician, working as a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Connecticut for over 20 years. I absolutely love helping individuals and families who are experiencing behavioral health challenges reach their full potential. I have extensive experience in providing behavioral health care with integrity and an evidence-based or best practice foundation. I have specific training in working with trauma, grief and adjustments to life-transitions.

I believe in building strong relationships with my clients to empower them in navigating life's challenges and help them to build confidence, optimism and hope for the future. Together, we'll identify your needs and craft an action plan tailored just for you. Every behavior has meaning, and by raising awareness, we can unlock opportunities for growth and learning. I deeply care about my clients and understand that progress takes time. I'll support you at your own pace, guiding you through a collaborative journey towards a better quality of life.

A client should be motivated for change, seeking desired progress from where they are in this moment to where they envision themselves. They are in need of support, guidance and improved skills to address their presenting difficulties which could be overwhelm, increased anxiety, feelings of depression, loss of a spouse or loved one, divorce or other major life event impacting their level of functioning. The individual client should be over the age of 12 but families with smaller children are welcome for sessions as well. Couples work is vital so divorce proof your marriage or relationship in sessions with me.

Everything you go through grows you. Growth and change is always a possibility. Depending on the circumstances in your life this may not always seem possible. I am dedicated to bringing healing and growth to individuals through empowerment and self awareness. I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families in all stages of life and experiences. I believe in being my authentic self using respect, compassion, and a little humor. With my training as a systems therapist I believe in treating the environment as well as the individual. Let us make a meaningful connection and explore your needs!

Are you struggling with your mood? Are you or someone in your life worried about your unhealthy or self-destructive behavior? Are you trying to get your life on track and can't seem to get going? Do you know you need to make changes but can't figure out where to begin? My passion is helping people heal and grow from whatever obstacles are in the way. Together, we can uncover your true potential and empower you to lead the life you want!
