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 meeting with a therapist online can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that fits their schedule and comfort level – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and individuals may choose to switch therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would work better. For many people, online therapy offers a practical, accessible way to pursue support and progress toward their goals.
