Find a Therapist in Chester, CT

My approach is to work with you to identify your personal goals for growth and build awareness through deep reflection on your life and the way you see the world.

My approach to therapy is personally tailored based in effective practices such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and psychodynamic theory. Therapy is a collaborative process providing a comfortable space to explore thoughts, patterns, and comprehensive understanding of your needs. The emphasis is not on immediate resolution of issues within the session but to promote a way of thinking that can be carried into your everyday life and applied where it is truly needed. We work in partnership to identify thinking or behavior that has not effectively served your needs while acknowledging strengths and skills that do support your goals. I believe these practices align to empower you to direct your course and attain fulfillment across all areas of life.

I am a therapist who has worked extensively in sexual assault, domestic abuse violence, depression, anxiety, and grief and loss. I believe that everyone has the resources within them to heal from these and other painful issues, they just need someone to help guide and come alongside them. I use multiple treatment modalities including Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused therapy, and mindfulness. I believe that faith can be an important part of healing and that it should be up to the client how much or little this is worked into their healing. Healing and freedom are available to those who want it and are willing to do the work.
