Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I am a clinical social worker committed to openness and the power of self-expression. My clients and I work together to explore opportunities for healing and growth, through an embracing, compassionate lens that nurtures strengths and honors that which makes each of us unique. I have practiced integrative psychotherapy for ten years with clients seeking to address all kinds of personal and interpersonal goals, using a variety of approaches including emotionally focused therapy, relational psychodynamic therapy, somatic and cognitive-behavioral approaches, as well as trauma-focused therapy (including EMDR.) I am certified in psychotherapy related to gender and sexuality from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in New York City.

I specialize in integrative work with those who are queer, LGB, and transgender/non-binary/gender non-conforming, as well as individuals and couples in polyamorous/ENM communities. I am also a kink-knowledgeable therapist. It is of utmost importance to me, both personally and as a practitioner, to be consistently working with others to develop confidence while feeling celebrated and seen in their daily lives and relationships. I am an out of network provider and currently seeing clients via telehealth only.

I currently offer telehealth appointments for individuals, typically lasting 60 minutes. My work tends to focus on healthy communication, cultivating introspection and intuition, and providing a safe space to work through anxieties, insecurities, and fears related to work, relationships, or family. I primarily work with people 18+.

Are your emotions getting the best of you on a daily basis? You feel out of control and are struggling to manage life’s stress? Personal relationships are struggling as a result and you don’t know where to turn? These feelings are normal for people who have trauma in their past. Depression, anxiety, anger, fear, and loneliness are often a result of a difficult past. Add in present day struggles and these emotions can easily take ahold of you. This may cause you to lose hope in the future. I want to help you rediscover that hope one day at a time. I use CBT as a baseline to help those struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, and other emotional issues. I am kink, poly, and queer friendly with both personal and professional experience in these arenas.

I own an LGBTQ and poly-friendly private group practice for holistic marriage and family therapy with a specialization on preschoolers, children, teens, and young adults. I am open 7 days a week and have late evening appointments. On a side note, I am also a 500 hour registered yoga therapist, so I enjoy offering mediation, breathing, yoga poses, and holistic techniques into my practice for PTSD/trauma healing. I offer an out-of-the-box approach using creative art, yoga, music, animals, and outdoor walking therapies for wellness and coping skills. I also offer phone and distance video sessions to residents of CT or international residents. I am considered an out-of-network provider. What that means is that payment in full is due at the time of your session and then you may seek potential reimbursement from your insurance. I’ve had clients that receive 100% reimbursement and some that have no benefits. You can also use a HSA or FSA card for services. I am happy to walk you through this process.

Are you experiencing anxiety or depression because of a stressful event or difficult changes in your life? Is your relationship under stress? I can help you adjust to challenging life transitions. Life events like divorce, breakups and job loss can be hard to recover from without the appropriate support. Even welcomed life changes can create stress and overwhelm, such as, having a new baby, starting college, or entering retirement.

Working together, we will determine the importance of social support, ways to find meaning during this life transition and how to increase your coping skills and self-esteem. If you are dealing with stress I can share with you relaxation training and techniques and show you how mindfulness can reduce stress.

Using a collaborative approach, we will work towards discovering your hidden strengths while developing healthy goals. I will help you to move forward at a pace that works for you. Please contact me to discuss how I might be able to help you get started on the path to healing and living your best life. - Does phone consultation

The impact of collective, historic and public events on lives marginalized by dominant cultures often goes unrecognized. Especially for women, LGBT and queer-identified people, people of color and other people marginalized by dominant power paradigms, the body is often a site of cultural dislocation. By working directly with the cultural messages and lessons that have been integrated, often unconsciously, onto the body and psyche, we can begin to create new stories, meanings and choices about being members of our communities and cultures. In my psychotherapy practice I work with people of all genders in the exploration of relationships to the self, to others, and to the communities in which we live. I have extensive experience working with queer, genderqueer, activist, and multicultural communities, queer parents and prospective parents, as well as kink/BDSM and poly communities, and the spaces where these identities overlap. I also teach queer and multicultural psychology and supervise students beginning their clinical fieldwork.

Are you tired of looking for a therapist who “gets it”? It can be infuriating to have to take the time to explain who you are to someone who may pathologize you, treat you like a novelty, or avoid talking about the relationships, behaviors, and events that are important to you.

You don’t have to separate your personal and social justice values from your desire for compassionate support. You can finally have what you have been looking for.

As a feminist therapist, I support your progressive values and celebrate the unique ways you express your gender or choose to live and love in your body. I can see your strengths as well as your challenges. This can make it easier to build trust, so you can focus on your goals and personal growth.

Even though you have a deep sense of comfort and familiarity with each other, you and your partner(s) aren’t sure how to communicate emotions and needs, especially during stressful times. You recognize strengths in the relationship, and you need additional support in problem-solving in these new, uncharted experiences. You may have also had a breach of trust and you’re stuck in knowing how to repair it. And sometimes your trauma memories resurface, which leaves you feeling confused or frustrated.

I help partners/couples of all ages who feel overwhelmed and stuck to navigate difficult conversations. My relationship clients talk about caregiving partners with chronic illness, how to meaningfully connect as death approaches, adjusting to changing roles in cross-cultural and bilingual multifamily relationships, getting unstuck in the same communication patterns, exploring newly realized sexualities and gender identities, and how to support their veteran transition to civilian life.

My clients learn over time in a non-judgmental setting to find solutions, communicate emotions and needs with empathy, repair broken trust, and utilize their own strengths for discovering new ways to reconnect. There won’t be worksheets, but there will be talks about attachment, grief, and there will be humor even in the midst of pain.

I’m queer identified, bilingual (English/Spanish), and polyamory/non-monogamy, trans, and kink/BDSM knowledgeable and affirming. I’m trained in trauma-informed hospice grief counseling and all aspects of grief/loss, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic/mindfulness practices, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

Currently, I’m prioritizing families (however you define family) and couples/partners relationships. My clients typically come to see me weekly for consistent support as we get to know each other. Let’s start with a free 15-minute video consultation. Thank you!

I am trained to work with individuals, couples, children, and families. I counsel children of any age and families of any type, including step-families, blended families, adoptive families, and families of choice. My particular focus is on providing counseling for people in any kind of intimate relationship(s): gay, straight, bisexual, closed, open, egalitarian, hierarchical, coupled, or of more than two people. Definitions may be fluid, nonexistent, or to-be-determined–counseling is a space in which to address these questions, along with any others that my clients consider to be meaningful. My other specialties are domestic violence work (with offenders and victims), wedding and commitment ceremony officiating, writing-as-healing workshops, and vocational testing and counseling.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma, grief, and/or attachment disruptions. I also work with children and teens who struggle with chronic pain (including psychosomatic distress), depression, self-harm, and anxiety. I have worked with children with a variety of gender and sexual identities and with a myriad of family structures. I typically approach new patients with a child-centered and eco-systemic base and pull in techniques such as mindfulness and attachment work as indicated and only with my patients’ consent.

As a queer identifying practitioner, implementing an intersectional feminist & decolonizing framework is at the core of my practice. I specialize in sex therapy and work with adult individuals, couples and polycules that seek support in: desire discrepancy, polyamory, opening relationships, kink exploration, adenomyosis, endometriosis, dyspareunia, vaginismus, ED, exploring queer/gender identities, changes in libido, and sexual abuse/assault. The modalities I tend to pull from most include: polyvagal theory, sensate focus, motivational interviewing, Internal Family Systems, psychodynamic and psychoeducation.
