Self-care is a term not made common in everyday life. However, self care is the most essential part of the healing process. I passionately believe that in order to really reach a person individually, they need to be made aware of themselves, and get excited about properly meeting and understanding their needs. That’s where I come in!
I am here to create a safe, warm, inviting atmosphere for you to get excited about growing yourself, your relationships, and your healing. I specialize in offering personalized therapy sessions tailored to fit your life and your journey. I offer various techniques to allow for connection and transparency. Those techniques include activities centered around emotional identification, healthy coping, and sensory stimulation.
In order to get the results you desire in life, you must first decide to actually start on your journey. That is what therapy is, a journey! Not a quick fix. Whether it be individual therapy, couples therapy, marriage therapy, family therapy, crisis therapy, your journey begins when you decide, ‘Yes’!
When you allow yourself to accept the truth that no one can live the perfect life, you open yourself up to letting go of the fictitious idea that you somehow need to be perfect too. Isn’t that such a relief? Therapy is not one dimensional. Therapy is a holistic approach to connecting all aspects of who you are to journey on a path of newness. Allow me to help you move from conflict to connection. Call me to book a session today!

Marriage Counseling New Haven CT
Do you remember the day you said “I do?” Did you have a full understanding of the vows and commitment you were making? Or, did you spend all of your time planning for the wedding and not for the marriage?
Therapist New Haven & Surrounding towns
These are hard questions. Some people never stop to ask themselves this. It’s easy to stay distracted during marriage with work, children, life, and finances. By the time your life actually slows down, you’ve been married for 50 plus years and are struggling to cherish the time you have left together, versus cherishing each other along the way. Marriage is a beautiful connection and commitment. What pulls from that beauty are things like communication and staying on the same page. Fear of the unexpected. Disconnection. Broken Trust. Betrayal. Intimacy.
This is where I play a role. What is keeping you from cherishing your marriage RIGHT NOW? What’s keeping you from living out your marriage like you’re still on your honeymoon? Allow me to guide you back to “I do.” If you need marriage counseling New Haven CT or surrounding towns such as Greenwich, Fairfield, or New Haven County, sign up today for your free phone consultation!
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Family Therapy
What is family therapy? Family therapy is a form of therapy that is designed to assist the family with identifying patterns, habits, and or unhealthy ways of relating that are creating conflict for the family and no longer working. These unhealthy ways affect the overall health of the relationships within the family unit. Family therapy allows each member to have a voice.
A goal of family therapy is to create a safe environment where the interactional dynamics of the family can be explored, challenges identified and decreased, and communication improved. Some of the benefits of family therapy are exploring thoughts, feelings, exploring worries without judgement, developing coping strategies for different situations, practicing self reflection and awareness in the presence of each other, and working on habits members would like to change. Looking for a therapist Stamford CT located, give me a call today as I am nearby in Milford.
It is understandable that within a family unit there are different familiar characteristics, a multitude of family interactions, different family life cycles, different perspectives, and the beauty of all this is that within family therapy the skills each individual brings can be explored and then utilized in a more harmonious manner.
We understand that within a family dynamic it is often difficult for families to listen and hear each other. By allowing the family’s voice to be heard in treatment we unfold the areas in need of attention, implement new strategies, apply interventions, and create space for change. Where new patterns, boundaries, and communication language becomes empathetic, understanding, validating, and acknowledging each other’s roles and perspectives.
Adolescent & Child therapy
Why is adolescent and child therapy important? Because adolescents and children like adults have stressors and challenges that can throw off their way of processing, their mood, and affect their behavior. Adolescent/Child therapy helps children talk about their feelings, assist them in learning how to separate thoughts from emotions, so that they can make sense of their world and prevent behavior challenges. Through learning and implementing new skills early in childhood children grow up to be healthier functioning adults. Therapy helps adolescents and children with expanding their thinking patterns, believe in themselves, build confidence, and find their strengths.
Through therapeutic play, understanding their emotions, healthy implementation of new strategies, adolescent/children gain insight about how to resolve conflict, learn self-control, gain self respect, learn how to express their feelings, learn how to problem solve, adapt healthier communication skills, modify problem behaviors, and live from a healthier self.
These interventions are carried out through various methods such as, puppet play, art therapy, music, dance, storytelling, drama, guided imagery, painting and drawing, board games, and conversational cards.
Many children and teens have problems that affect how they feel, act, or learn. Therapy allows them to communicate with adults about their challenges so together we can work out solutions as well as coping strategies which will help both short-term and in the long term! Therapy is an important place for kids to learn about themselves, their feelings, and how they can solve problems without resorting to violence.
In therapy with younger children, therapists work closely with the family on activities that help each member of the household identify emotions and better understand what makes them anxious or happy. For older children who are more mature in age but still need assistance getting through difficult times like bullying at school or a divorce at home from parents fighting constantly over money issues; counselors teach problem-solving skills so these tough situations don’t feel as intimidating anymore!
Don't Suffer In Silence
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying “I will try again tomorrow.”
Veterans & Families
What does Therapy look like for veterans, military individuals, military spouses, and military families? Military counseling is a specialized field that addresses the needs of the military community, veterans, and their families. Understanding that service members, veterans, and their families face some unique challenges during and after military service with deployments, constant moving, a regimen lifestyle, and leaving loved ones, we are standing in the gap providing therapeutic services focused on specific military related challenges.
Some of these challenges faced by the military population turn into crises. With a high level of exposure to trauma, service members and veterans are more likely to develop posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, fear, and other psychological conditions that prevent them from living from their best self.
I understand as a therapist and mother of three military sons that seeking therapy can be difficult for the reason that it can be seen as a sign of weakness. However, if I may encourage you to look at military therapy as Self Care, a way to bring understanding to the parts of you that have endured experiences that are still presenting challenges. Some of these challenges can be reentering your family dynamic and not knowing how to be part of when you’ve been separated and coping through life differently.
I can not imagine how difficult it must be for you when you find yourself reliving scenarios, experiencing nightmares, flashbacks, and perhaps often visited by good and bad memories, however no one goes through and or gets out of the military without a couple of dents in their mental, emotional, and physical being. My hope as a therapist is to partner up with you on developing achievable treatment goals that can bring healing and offer you the opportunity to be freed from such stressors and challenges that are currently pressing you. Not only will you benefit from such therapeutic services but so will the relationships and families you are part of. Please feel empowered to connect with me.
