Family Therapy in Deep River, CT

Accepting new clients. Getting support on life’s journey can be an integral part of one’s healing and growth. Looking for help can sometimes seem challenging and overwhelming, but can also be one of the bravest things you do for yourself. Everyone needs support at one point or another and allowing me to be the bridge for that healing is my pleasure and honor. I believe everyone has the ability and resiliency to get through difficult periods in their lives and want to help you learn the skills and support you in your own personal journey. I specialize in helping people cope with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Looking for a safe place to regain your footing and let go of old patterns that hold you back? I have been practicing psychotherapy for 29 years. My practice is relationship based and heart centered.After working in various residential settings with adolescents, I grew to believe in the resilience and strength of the human spirit.Working with both traditional and nontraditional techniques, I can assist you in discovering your true potential. With a background in family systems, I believe that by letting go of patterns learned in childhood and rewriting old messages, therapy can free you to live your life more productively.

Do you find yourself avoiding intimacy or feeling anxious in social situations? Do you notice that past wounds prevent you from connecting and being in the present? Perhaps you forgot how and who to trust? Are you feeling intense anger, sadness, hopelessness, or frustration? These feelings are not going away despite talking to friends / family. You like you are in a hamster wheel. You are blaming yourself for what happened and feel unworthy of love. Trauma anniversaries bring flashbacks, nightmares, or even feeling "jumpy" triggered at times. Just know that you aren't alone in this!

My passion is helping people overcome barriers to living happy and fulfilled lives - both within themselves and in relationships with others. I have 10 years of experience working with both adults and teens conducting individual, group, family and relationship therapy. My goal is to provide clients a safe and comfortable space to talk about their problems, while also guiding them toward solutions.

In addition, I specialize in helping people overcome challenges in relationships, whether romantic, social, or professional.

If you are struggling in life, chances are you have a diagnosis which is termed a psychiatric disorder- but diagnoses only define the negative aspects of who you are! In fact, most "disorders" have a wealth of amazingly positive traits also associated with them. Together, you and I will work to uncover your superpowers- those positive traits that diagnoses don't cover, and which make you amazing. Some of the therapies we incorporate into our practice include art therapy, Internal Family Systems, Authenticity Therapy, various styles of quick and effective trauma treatment, practical life skills, mindfulness (DBT) and CBT.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who provides counseling and psychotherapy to people dealing with a wide-range of personal concerns across the lifespan. I work with young and older adults with depression/anxiety, codependency, family concerns, grief and loss and specialize in later life issues including: dementia, Alzheimer's and eldercare stress. I have a nonjudgemental and empathic approach that promotes healing, restoration, growth, and self-awareness.

Seeking change, making meaning, discovering a new path: these are just some of the motivators for pursuing support and making change in our lives. Together, we can take those first steps down the path that you are hoping to find your way down, despite whatever barriers may already exist that prevent you from taking those steps on your own. If you are in need of support, we can work together to find the best course of treatment, goals, and together look forward towards a more positive future.

As a clinical social worker, I have over 25 years of experience working with adolescents, adults and families in a variety of therapeutic settings. Creating a therapeutic environment that is warm, compassionate and nurturing is one of my strengths. Therapy often helps provide insight into our strengths and internal resources we already have so we can build skills for improved daily functioning, emotional health and fulfillment and positive change. My areas of special interest include adjustment to life changes, low self-esteem, stress management, relational concerns and emotional/mood disorders.
