A modern approach
It’s essential for us that our clients get personalized suggestions on who from our team is the best match. Rather than do things the typical way, we’ve created a system designed around our patients’ needs.
My Training & Experience
I began my training at Trinity College where I majored in Psychology. I next enrolled in the Masters Program at Smith College School of Social Work which is one of the nations most respected social work programs. After two internships in outpatient mental health clinics dealing with all age ranges and types of issues, I am now in private practice at Psychotherapy Services Group. I am licensed to practice in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Therapeutic philosophy
I am mindful that an individual’s decision to seek counseling may be a difficult one. Everyone needs help at times and the choice to seek support should be viewed as a strength not as a weakness. I will listen to my clients personal concerns in a confidential, caring and relaxed atmosphere. I will provide guidance and insight into the client's behavior as the client progresses on his or her personal journey toward emotional health and life success.

Therapy is proven to increase the clinical benefits of many pharmacological treatments.
The close relationship between body and mind, biology and psychology is well established and research have demonstrated that certain inherited biological factors can increase the risk of emotional problems. For some disorders pharmacological treatments can give substantial relief, but a combination of psychotherapy and pharmacological treatment is often the most effective treatment for many individuals. A large number of careful clinical studies have demonstrated that the combination treatment is most efficient for the following disorders.
