Find a Therapist in Monroe, Connecticut.

As a mental health counselor I provide Psychotherapy for individuals, families and groups. In my 30+ years of clinical practice, I have continued to expand upon my philosophy of human development and the expansion of each person’s capacity. Working with a collaborative approach, I assist my clients in building skills and strategies as together we uncover their uniqueness, and passion, while developing their purpose and potential. Through observation and positive feedback, my process, “The Five Steps For Healthy Change” was created to assist individuals of all ages and stages in moving from “Crisis To Capacity”. Come join me to begin the process of healthy change, one stage at a time.

Individual adults and couples tell me that I am unlike most other therapists that they have worked with and that they feel like I work very hard with them. My clients tell me that they feel supported and comfortable in our sessions and that I have the ability to keep track of the important details of their lives. Our work pays dividends to you as you develop lifelong tools to: manage conflict, improve communication, lower stress, and reduce anxiety and depression. We will work together to help you become empowered with the confidence to take care of yourself while also “juggling” life’s commitments, resulting in you finally getting the life that you want.

A fulfilling, meaningful life. Many of us yearn for it and have struggled for it, with little success. Perhaps anxiety, fear, or depression get in your way. Maybe you're wrestled down by unwanted, unpleasant memories of a difficult past. For some, the pathway may be blocked by the effects of alcohol or drug use. Has anger often knocked you off balance? My approach to psychotherapy, which relies heavily on research-supported methods in the Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) traditions, seeks to restore your path to that meaningful life by helping you navigate those painful emotions, thoughts, memories and experiences that seem to hold you back.

Psychotherapy is very beneficial no matter what your current circumstances and stresses may be. I utilize a variety of therapy techniques based on your specific needs, in order to make the most out of counseling. The majority of my therapeutic style is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, strengths-based approach and motivational interviewing, in order to help you utilize your inner strengths while managing unhelpful thoughts and difficulty with motivation. My role is to help you connect thoughts, feelings and actions while processing any past issues that may impact your well-being today. This is always done in a non-judgmental way, making sure that you feel empowered and heard.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Psychotherapy is a process of understanding yourself and your behaviors. Most times, it is your troubled behaviors that is causing you to come in and seek a counselor.

Call us today to schedule your appointment to speak with one of our experienced counselors to get the process started for you!

As we explore and identify negative thoughts patterns/triggers, and learn how to replace them with positive healthy ones, my clients will resolve emotional, behavioral problems and disturbances thus enabling them to lead a happier and a more productive life. I apply evidenced based techniques, such as cognitive behavior therapy, (CBT), trauma focused CBT, Client Centered therapy, Solution Focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing modalities and Rational Emotive Behavior therapy. As with any powerful treatment, therapy includes risks and benefits. The main risk is that things may change in your life. This may seem obvious, but it is important to consider the discomfort that even positive change may cause in your lifestyle

The benefits of effective psychotherapy are many. It helps the client get in touch with their feelings and develop valuable insights into herself. Most individuals go on year after year making the same mistakes repeatedly simply because they are unaware of the underlying reasons for the mistakes. You can't change something of which you are unaware; in psychotherapy, our goal is to uncover those underlying reasons that prevent becoming happier and leading a more satisfying life.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Seeking out a counselor for help can be a difficult choice. It’s not only asking for help, but doing so with a stranger. Counseling professionals and psychotherapists alike are trained to help people feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what steps to take next. They don’t dictate cures, but rather help their patients uncover or recognize that your problems are real and that you want to do something about them. In my practice, the implementation of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Mindfulness treatment models can be very powerful strategies and offer a greater sense of worth and wellbeing.

As a psychotherapist I work with individuals and families that are dealing with life's challenges including depression, anxiety, relationship issues and family conflict. My approach is to help you understand yourself and to utilize your strengths to grow and overcome these challenges. Life can be difficult. You don't need to deal with these challenges alone. Let me give you the tools you need to successfully conquer these difficulties. I will help you believe in yourself and to find joy once again.

My psychotherapy practice includes a variety of modalities developed over 20 years of experience working with clients. It always begins and ends with our relationship. I am an empathic, supportive, and engaging partner, and I help clients set and achieve personal goals. Therapy with me is an enjoyable process that clients look forward to as they begin to feel better and move closer to their desired outcomes.
