Therapists Providing Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) in Connecticut

Everyone has the potential to make positive changes in their lives. Making those changes is more likely when you find a therapist who is empathetic and authentic—someone with whom you can feel a connection with and trust. Although I am trained in a variety of empirically-supported techniques, I take an individualized approach to understanding my clients, viewing each client as unique with personal life experiences belonging only to you. In my office you will feel safe and also challenged to reach your goals. You will learn tools to be your own therapist, cope with life's challenges and stressors, and live a healthier, more fulfilled life.

Anxiety can be debilitating.  The pain of grief can feel relentless and never-ending.  You want to make a change, but don't know where to begin.  You can learn to make lasting changes, move forward and not be held down by your past.  Learn to see things from a new perspective.  Adapt to the changes in your life.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, non-judgmental, and goal-oriented.  Everyone has their own unique story and we will work together to set goals that reflect what you want to achieve.  I offer individual, evidence-based, psychotherapy with foundations in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Learn how to move past your fear.

I have extensive training in how to effectively integrate evidence-based practices with the latest research regarding the biological, neurological, and hormonal changes unique to women.

As such, I'm able to provide clients with education on the neurobiological basis of their distress, as well tangible tools and techniques to help them feel relief. My approach is holistic, and when appropriate, I provide referrals to psychiatrists, acupuncture, yoga and mindfulness classes.

I believe psychological treatment, in combination with holistic modalities, may provide the best outcomes for women.

I love to help clients feel listened to, affirmed, validated and understood. My goal is to give you the skills to understand and validate yourself – not to judge or question yourself. I can’t do it for you – and (not but!) I can do it with you, so you don’t have to feel alone.

My passion is also to help women who grew suffering with narcissistic abuse learn how to heal and how not to unconsciously repeat the patterns learned in childhood.

Coming to therapy can be an amazing gift for yourself. It provides a time to gain clarity, to heal, and most importantly, to move towards what you really want in life. I look to this time with my clients as such an amazing part of their journey. I feel honored they share this time with me and share what they haven't been able to share before.

It is essential to feel listened to and understood from a place of compassion and humanness, a place in which the therapist simply holds space for you to be you, and guides you to a direction of self-reflection in order to tap into your true, authentic self.

I’m a holistic integrative psychotherapist with nine years of experience devoted to the conversation of improving our lives. My approach is interpersonal and relational to best empower and help you accomplish your goals.

Therapy is a process and a process I believe in. I value authenticity, humor and human connection in my clinical work and believe that these are essential elements of healing. Through our conversations, we will explore, discover and process how your past can influence the present and future and hopefully deepen your understanding of the self and increase awareness of how you are and how you would like to be.

My clients inspire me. They are brave and real and they show up even when life gets hard. They want to get to know themselves in a deep and meaningful way and by doing that, they live the life they imagine. Some of my clients have experienced loss. Many times that means the death loss of a loved one but sometimes it means the loss of a meaningful relationship, or job, or identity. Some of my clients want to become more confident and feel empowered to live a life that is full to them. Other clients of mine have had childhoods that they are now recognizing have impacted their life and would like to look at those experiences.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and really value the relationship that we build together. I will be real with you in the room in the hopes that we can have an authentic conversation about what is really going on in your life. I will not be a blank slate but instead will ask you great questions, laugh with you, support you, and be honest with you.

If we decide to work together, you won’t just get a smile and nod therapist or a blank slate. You will get a real person in the room with you. Yes, a highly trained professional but more importantly, a human being who believes in empathy, resilience and the power of human connection. We will work together to create a treatment plan that works for you.
