About

"Do not doubt your own basic goodness. In spite of all confusion and fear, you are born with a heart that knows what is just, loving and beautiful."
As an experienced Licensed Marital and Family Therapist, I have worked with clients for over 25 years. I have a masters degree in Marital and Family Therapy from the University of Connecticut.
I help my clients deal with the frustration and confusion that arises from not listening to themselves. This can arise as a result of childhood trauma or betrayal by those we trust.
I believe in focusing on my clients' strengths.
I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and I am certified in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I have expertise in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Grief Therapy,
My years of experience include extensive work with anxiety, depression, panic disorder, stress management, sleep issues, grief and loss, a history of trauma, difficulties in interpersonal relationships, as well as parenting and adoption issues.
I believe in teaching my clients what I call Brain Science 101 as a way to help them to better understand more about our human brains and human nervous systems. I use this as a basis for leading into some stress management and coping skills (some tools for your toolbox).
My practice hours are 9 am to 2 pm EDT Monday - Thursday.
