Quality therapy for women
Evidence-based therapy for Fairfield County
As a psychologist, I strive to support each person’s autonomy while providing them the space to work through the emotional and social obstacles, develop a sense of mastery over what had burdened them, and ultimately construct meaning in place of what was psychologically overwhelming. I understand that not everyone engaging in the therapeutic process is in a place where they are ready to make changes. I also appreciate that motivation is fluid and can be responsive to particular psychological approaches. At the beginning of the work, I meet each person wherever they are in their journey and collaboratively construct a plan to actualize their goals. Working with adolescent and emerging adult women on the above areas has been incredibly meaningful to me.
