I offer telehealth video and phone sessions. Most, if not all insurance companies are approving out-of-state clients to work with me but they require you to call them to gain approval if your home address is not Connecticut. Along with individual sessions, I also offer a weekly online group for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in healthy ways of thinking. The participants find that they learn as much from each other as they do from me. I enjoy helping people through life transitions, t...
Young people often have a mistrust of people in the helping profession because many are too cerebral, too impersonal and too disconnected from their reality! I have been working with young people not by accident but because I enjoy working with them. High-school and college aged students are real and I appreciate how honest they are with what they think and feel and need. I keep therapy on the lighter side not as a strategy, but because it's who I am as a person. I am a rare therapist in t...

You know the type of therapists they show on TV or in the movies? The therapists who only ask you, “how does that make you feel?” and only speak in dull voices that would make anyone fall asleep? I can assure you – I am definitely not that type of therapist! I am enthusiastic, friendly and warm - and I am known by people around me as someone who is extremely easy to talk to. That - and a lot of training - makes me a pretty good fit to be a therapist. My role is to listen, observe and und...
