Male Therapists in Stamford, CT

You can have a positive mindset with SOLUTION-FOCUSED THERAPY. Feeling worried, or your thoughts race, your sleep is off, or you get that feeling in your stomach? At times we get frustrated enough with someone that it affects your work, family life, or health. I know how it sucks to be questioning, stuck, and worked up with tension and concern. Then, self-doubt creeps in--but it doesn’t need to be like that anymore. If you’re curious how to get things calmer, under control, and feel more self-assured, I’m here as a confidant who listens deeply AND offers tools that really work. You CAN increase confidence!

When you seek a therapist, whether due to emotional suffering, a feeling of being "stuck," unhealthy patterns of behavior, grief or life transitions, you hope to find someone who listens. I focus on listening carefully, without judging, with a caring attitude and a commitment to understanding you. I respect the fact that you have been trying your best all along, but now you seek a helping hand. I commit myself to helping because I believe change is always possible.

It is my belief that an effective psychotherapy starts when the client senses that his or her feelings are being heard in an empathic, attentive manner. It is from this foundation that I try to work together with the client on self understanding and acceptance as well as in change and growth. My background in the theater, where empathic listening is an essential element, is combined with extensive academic training in mental health.

If you are upset or suffering emotionally, I can help you achieve a helpful perspective on what you are going through, and construct a meaningful plan for recovery. I listen carefully to my clients and interact supportively. I assist in the exploration of problems to gain insight and to design therapeutic strategies to relieve symptoms and resolve conflict. Deciding on an appropriate intervention, I draw from major schools of psychological knowledge to integrate best practices and to individualize treatment.

As your therapist, I provide a warm and supportive space where you can talk freely without being judged.

In therapy, we will pay close attention to the dynamics of our own relationship, as well as to patterns of behavior and communication that may be holding you back in other areas of your life. By developing greater self-awareness and insight into these patterns, you can begin to break free of old patterns and forge more meaningful and fulfilling connections with others.

As a therapist, I feel strongly that adolescents, children and their parents, can overcome obstacles and increase life satisfaction. Many of the problems, both social and academic, that children, adolescents and young adults face today stem from difficulties managing negative emotions, namely anxiety and sadness. These difficulties shape behavior in a variety of ways; temper tantrums and moodiness, low tolerance for frustration/avoidance, hyperactivity, limited attention, poor social skills, low self-esteem, defiance of authority, lack of direction and motivation, substance use, and a decline in academics.
