Husky | CT BHP Therapists in Prospect, CT

I create a safe space wherein you can explore and heal personal struggles, depression, anxiety, troubled relationships, attachment injury, struggles with intimacy, and much more. A space that is free of judgement, where issues such as trust and feelings of worthlessness can be explored, and vulnerabilities shared without fear of being shamed or rejected. Your hope and longing for healing, and the capacity for rational, sustainable loving relationships are achievable. I have extensive professional experience treating individual, adults, adolescents and children, as well as couples and families. Know the choice is yours.

"Change your thoughts, and your life will change!" For the past 20 years, I have worked with many couples, individuals, and families who have seen the truth of this statement at work in their own lives. As a solution-focused marriage and family therapist, I can help parents who feel ineffective, the teen who loses control, individuals who feel depressed and alone, and couples who feel they are out of options. Together we will uncover new perspectives and skills to break the repetitive cycles that are keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled.

My approach to providing therapy is guided by the person that is receiving the service. Every persons situation and need is different, therefore I believe various approaches are needed to address life's problems. I was led to work in this field at the start in dealing with my own life's concerns. I have and continue to work on myself as a person, so that I can be the best person I can be. This in return becomes a gift that my clients can receive in return. We can only take our clients as far as we have gone. In my practice I hold space for the four basic realms of the human journey - Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Spiritual.

I can hep you love and appreciate the Self you truly are by combining "power therapies" - EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy, to effect healing that lasts. I love assisting people who experience depression, anxiety, trauma and attachment issues discover their authentic Self under the mire of history and discover their magnificence. It’s my hope that I will be the last therapist you will ever need. Do you ever look into the mirror and don't quite like who you see looking back? Together we can change that and let you love the person you were born to be.
