I am now Licensed in both Connecticut and Florida, current office location in CT, with telehealth in both CT and FL. Accepting Tricare and VA Community Network. I am now accepting Medicare Part B, and most commercial insurances. Every person has a journey in life and when consumed with stress, anxiety or any other problems, We can take that journey together and figure out the best way for you to go. Sometimes it helps to talk privately to someone you can trust. We will find the way that works best for you, quietly, privately and calmly. We will find the inner strength that each person has and expand and emphasize your strengths.
Many ears of experience counseling, providing help for clients referred/mandated by legal system, substance abuse agencies, doctors, psychiatrist, and/or other legal entities, individuals, relapse prevention, anger management, co-occurring disorders, women's issues, addiction and mental health issues. Medicare Recipients, Veterans and Active Duty welcome.
Flexible schedule. I am easy going; clients find it easy to open up and talk, often referring others. Collaborative treatment planning. Call or send, text or email; we can start talking, if you like what you hear, we'll schedule an appointment. Often that first call is such a relief.
