Find a Therapist in Southbury, Connecticut.

Couples tell me that I am unlike most other therapists because I work in-office and don't offer teletherapy and they were grateful to find someone who believes in-office work is optimal. My clients tell me that they feel supported and comfortable in our sessions and that I have the ability to keep track of the important details of their lives. Our work pays dividends to you as you develop lifelong tools to: manage conflict, improve communication, lower stress, and reduce anxiety and depression. We will work together to help you become empowered with the confidence to take care of yourself while also “juggling” life’s commitments, resulting in you finally getting the life that you want.

I am truly honored to work with individuals and couples from all backgrounds and orientations. I am also proud to partner with underserved populations such as those in law enforcement, the military, faith based and LGBTQIA+ communities. I respect and honor you as the expert in your own life and will create a space that is safe, affirming, and authentic.

As we explore and identify negative thoughts patterns/triggers, and learn how to replace them with positive healthy ones, my clients will resolve emotional, behavioral problems and disturbances thus enabling them to lead a happier and a more productive life. I apply evidenced based techniques, such as cognitive behavior therapy, (CBT), trauma focused CBT, Client Centered therapy, Solution Focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing modalities and Rational Emotive Behavior therapy. As with any powerful treatment, therapy includes risks and benefits. The main risk is that things may change in your life. This may seem obvious, but it is important to consider the discomfort that even positive change may cause in your lifestyle

We gain a large part of our worldview before turning 8 years old. This is when we think more black and white and take everything at face value, before the ability of abstract thought. How we understand the world at that point is based on our life experiences and the people around us. That worldview changes how we experience and perceive life thereafter. During sessions, you will explore how the past connects with present thinking. Using modalities such as CBT, narrative therapy, and rational emotive therapy, we can challenge the thoughts that negatively affect you, and rewrite ‘stories’ in your life with a new understanding of the situations, thus changing your perspective and how you feel.

I create a caring, safe, empathetic environment for you to share your story, you are not alone. Together we will look at the hidden dynamics of your situation which may have been passed down from previous generation. Then I will assist you to stand in you power which will help you to make the necessary adjustments so that you can move forward in a new healthier, happier direction.

Taking a patients medical , family background and history to diagnos a problem. I have the patient write out their thoughts, fantasies and dreams to investigate the subconscious. Psycotherapy takes alot of introspection and is a long term therapy designed to help the patient to gain a greater understanding of themselves and their life.

I have learned several models of therapy, and apply various models at different times depending on the clients situation and needs. Psychotherapy in essence is a relationship that is built on trust, understanding, and compassion between the client and the therapist,. Once this is established, both the client and therapist can move forward to better understanding the roots of the problem, and make changes to bring successful outcomes for achieving the goals and lifestyle changes the client seeks.

Psychotherapy is where you will meet with an individual therapist to establish goals and work with on these goals each week so you are on the path to making progress. Psychotherapy looks into what the presenting problems are and how you can manage what is getting in the way of living your best life. We have worked with an array of presenting problems so you can bet one of our therapists has treated a similar presenting problem and has experience guiding you through your goals.

A fulfilling, meaningful life. Many of us yearn for it and have struggled for it, with little success. Perhaps anxiety, fear, or depression get in your way. Maybe you're wrestled down by unwanted, unpleasant memories of a difficult past. For some, the pathway may be blocked by the effects of alcohol or drug use. Has anger often knocked you off balance? My approach to psychotherapy, which relies heavily on research-supported methods in the Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) traditions, seeks to restore your path to that meaningful life by helping you navigate those painful emotions, thoughts, memories and experiences that seem to hold you back.

My psychotherapy practice includes a variety of modalities developed over 20 years of experience working with clients. It always begins and ends with our relationship. I am an empathic, supportive, and engaging partner, and I help clients set and achieve personal goals. Therapy with me is an enjoyable process that clients look forward to as they begin to feel better and move closer to their desired outcomes.
