Psychodynamic Therapists in Southington, CT

The ideal client is one who is seeking assistance managing daily life stressors, seeks to better understand themselves, and is looking to make changes to improve their overall well being. I understand that emotional health and relationships are important to maintaining multiple aspects of our lives. I believe that every client with whom I work deserves to be treated with personalized care, compassion, and understanding. This perspective helps a client to open up and trying new ways to manage life's challenges. I work primarily from a relational and trauma-sensitive approach.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in anxiety, depression and trauma. I am open and interactive, and believe that people can change through healing relationships. In therapy we will look closely at the behaviors, ideas and thought patterns that are holding you back. I can help you make sense of your experiences and together we can come up with a plan to move you towards a life that you want.

A teacher once said to me as I was beginning my journey in school, "The relationship with the client must come first. The relationship creates the space in which the client will grow. All the tools and skills you will learn in school are secondary. Maintenance of the therapeutic relationship is the number one priority". This statement has become my guiding light as a clinician. When I work with a client, it is imperative that they feel heard, validated, and understood, before the work can begin. Finding the right therapist may take a few tries but keep going! Because finding the right one can make all the difference.

Asking for help can be difficult for many reasons, but I believe that there is so much strength, courage, and meaning in allowing ourselves to be vulnerable. If you are someone that has been touched by adoption and you're looking for support, I am here for you. I understand that adoptees, birth families, and adoptive families each have their own unique stories to share and process. I am here to listen to your story with compassion, to provide a safe space so that you can express and explore yourself freely, to help you develop the connections with yourself and others that you desire, and to help you harness your personal strengths.

Are you struggling, feel lost or uncertain about which direction you are going in life. We all go through things in life that have caused us to feel sadness, anxiety and even hopelessness about the future. It is "ok" to accept help and support through difficult times. It is also "ok" to not be "ok" all the time and this is where I can help you through this process. I believe that when a person is struggling from past and/or present issues and they feel like no one hears them or understands, it can become very debilitating in everyday life. I will listen and guide you through the process of healing through your struggles.
