How does therapy work and what can it do to help?

Therapy enhances our insight and understanding through collaborative exploration, reflection, and feedback. It can also serve as a catalyst for intentional behavior change when we feel stuck, ambivalent, or unmotivated. I make it a priority to be transparent about how therapy works with each client at all stages of the process.

About

My background and orientation

I'm fully licensed in Connecticut and New York as a clinical social worker (LCSW) and I've been a practicing psychotherapist since 2017, when I completed my graduate degree at Southern Connecticut State University. I offer in-person sessions in New Haven, CT as well as telehealth/online therapy sessions to clients throughout CT and NY. My graduate program and internships were oriented towards cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I also completed an additional two years of postgraduate training in psychodynamic therapy through the Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis (2018-2020). My clinical approach is informed by both theoretical orientations and their respective techniques, but my overall approach to treatment is client-centered, individually tailored, and eclectic. My office is located near downtown and the East Rock neighborhood in New Haven and is accessible by public transportation. I offer sessions both in-person at my office (Tuesdays and Thursdays only) and virtually through a secure video telehealth platform on weekdays. My clinical interests and specialties are intentionally wide-ranging because I prefer to work with a diverse group of clients and presenting problems. To provide a little more detail about the types of clients and problems I work with, I have listed a number of areas that I have particular expertise or experience with in the specialties section below. PLEASE NOTE: I participate in the insurance networks listed below only for clients in Connecticut. I cannot accept insurance in New York but will offer sliding scale fees to NY clients who qualify.
