I'm a licensed Psychologist in CT and FL dedicated to helping you find a way to manage your symptoms and effectively negotiate the complexities of how you relate within yourself and to the world around you. I received my PH.D. in Clinical Psychology from PGSP (Palo Alto University). My APA internship was at the State of CT DMHAS River Valley Services, with rotations at CT Valley Hospital. I completed my post-doc at the UCONN Dept. of Psychology, Research Division. My career was spent working in skilled nursing and military settings.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, you'll have an opportunity to talk about your life story, symptom experiences, and explore some areas to focus on for treatment. It's okay if there are some things you don't want to discuss right away. You can be forthright and tell me there is something that is important to explore, but you want to be sure you are ready to talk about it.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I rely on an integration of evidence-based components of classic therapeutic modalities. I focus on factors related to resiliency to help reduce the impact of the difficult things life throws at us. I'm sensitive, considerate, and will integrate your ethnicity, spirituality, and personal choice into therapy. I work with individuals and couples across a broad range of ages and experiential backgrounds.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I'm a big fan of empowerment. I think that having accountability for choices we make is part of that, and helps build a pathway for where we want to be in life. I hope that the experiences from therapy will help you continue to Grow and produce rewarding moments in your life.
