Therapists in Connecticut

Therapy I feel is a chance to learn and shift patterns in our lives. Relationships are a key part of life but are difficult on many levels and we learn the way that we communicate with other from our experience. Learning and understanding that experience can help us make the changes that we would like to see in life. I believe in having an open space free from judgement were people can explore who they are and learn how to use that to change their lives and their relationships with others. I work with people from all different perspectives and believe that we are the products of our experience and that we can find ways to change the patterns that are not helpful for us. Communication is key in relationships but it is something that we have trouble with but are not always aware of the impact. Learning patterns, identifying the meaning that we put to our experiences and seeing our strengths are ways that allow us to become the person that we want to be without losing who we are.

I use strengths-based, solution-focused, and CBT techniques to support healing and growth. I believe each person has untapped resilience, and I aim to help clients recognize and build on the strengths they already hold. I strive to create a safe, affirming space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered. Therapy with me is a partnership, and I’ll meet you where you are—helping you move forward at your own pace with support and care.
