(she/her)
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut and have over 30 years experience. Helping clients achieve their goals by identifying barriers and thought patterns that get in the way of these goals is key. Learning coping skills, ways to communicate and manage emotions can be valuable and helpful. My direct but empathetic approach will help you meet your goals.
Our initial meeting is an opportunity to understand what brought you to seek therapy and to understand your past experiences. It is also an opportunity for you to ask questions. Together we will develop a plan that you feel comfortable with. Therapy is a collaborative process.
My compassion and willingness to help clients achieve their goals. I have years of experience and additional training with CBT and specifically DBT. Meeting clients where they are in this journey is so important.
Helping clients regulate emotions and manage life stressors. Specifically focusing on the use of DBT to regulate emotional responses. Navigating life stressors and relationships using brief short-term therapy . Provide a calm , supportive environment while empowering you to life your best life. Help to identify and prioritize your goals and make those changes you’ve been struggling with. Therapy can be supportive and also challenge you to help you take those steps towards change .
