Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Connecticut. I have worked in varied settings for over 30 years with people encountering social, emotional and behavioral difficulties. I have also been a certified school psychologist for over 20 years, so I have considerable experience with parents, especially those whose children have disabilities of all kinds.
I use an eclectic approach that begins with a focus on the individual (e.g., feelings, thoughts/beliefs, actions & health). But, I also consider other factors that influence one’s well-being (e.g., family, relationships, work, societal pressures). I listen well and always strive to be compassionate and encouraging with people when they seek healing and self-improvement. I emphasize increasing one’s understanding, coping, and problem-solving skills. Often, that is done by building on strengths and resources the individual might not realize that they have. I’ve also been known to use humor from time to time because I believe that some ha-ha! moments can become ah-hah! moments. Plus, a smile or laugh can make you feel better.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly make a difference. For common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and if someone decides they would prefer a different fit, they can switch therapists at any time. Online therapy offers an accessible way to pursue support for everyday mental health concerns while keeping professional standards in place.
