My clients are individuals in CT and VT (telehealth) whose lives have directly or indirectly been impacted by challenges such as trauma, anxiety, burnout, uncertainty, life transition, grief, immigration, complex family dynamics, identity conflicts, illness, caretaking & more. We all have our own histories, experiences, cultures, and beliefs that shape us into who we are today and that shape our experiences. It's my belief that there are no universal right and wrong thoughts, feelings & exper...
I primarily work with individuals struggling with compulsive behavior, including sex/porn addiction, codependency, internet/social media addiction, and problem spending/debting. Addiction is meant to make you feel less. It provides temporary numbing for lifelong pain. You feel trapped, depressed, angry, anxious, guilty, and afraid when you can't stop. Recovering from compulsive behavior, though not easy, is possible and has been accomplished many times. But it does require a complete cha...

I help clients feel less anxious and more authentic in their relationships. I believe that many people experience struggle in their lives as a result of growing distant from their emotional compasses. I work with individual clients and couples to reconnect with these aspects of their experiences. While I work with clients of all genders, I hold a particular interest and expertise in working with men. I approach sessions with a compassion, humor, and directness. In my experience, change begins w...

I offer a non-judgmental standpoint. I feel, it is important to feel heard, validated and supported throughout the counseling process. I specialize in treating ...
In my practice, I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a context for people to feel heard, empowered and recognized for who they are. I meet my client where they are at and support as they explore and develop their own internal motivation for change. It is my role to work collaboratively with clients to build trust and create a safe space to recognize patterns through self-awareness and understanding. My hope is to support clients as they reduce suffering, improve insight, inc...

Life has its ups and downs, and at times we all feel stuck and not sure how to change but we know "something" has to change. I am here to help you! 85% of the time Depression and Anxiety co-exist. Depression takes away our motivation, energy and our ability to connect with others which only leads us to further sadness. Anxiety is ever present in our daily lives with thoughts of worry and over thinking everything. There is hope using cutting edge therapies such as Neuroscience, CBT, ACT, MCT, Pol...
My approach to treatment pulls from a combination of humanistic, existential, cognitive, and mind-body integration perspectives. The specific treatment methods I use and the duration of psychotherapy will depend on your history, current circumstances, the issues we explore, and our mutually-established goals for therapy. I believe counseling is a collaborative effort, which is successful when an individual’s energy, courage, and commitment to look deep within matches with the therapy style and ...

If someone asked you not to think for 10 minutes how hard would that be? Is overthinking about the “What Ifs” driving you to relentlessly check things over and over again? Are you determined to find certainty in an uncertain world? Do you frequently ask others repeatedly if something or someone is going to be OK? No matter how much you do a task or say a particular thing does peace of mind elude you? Does the compulsion to handwash, re-read, double-check, pray, or re-arrange items never provide ...
