My goal is to provide each client with a compassionate atmosphere where we can work collaboratively to meet the client's needs. To quote Albert Einstein: "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." We all face obstacles where we can benefit from help and guidance. Problems in relationships, high or unrealistic expectations of ourselves or others, or our fast paced culture create pressures that can manifest in depression, anxiety, or mood disorders. We can work together to identify strategies to alleviate negative mood states and move toward our goals with more balance, healthier relationships and more positive mood states. Practicing Psychotherapy for over eleven years. MS in Counseling Psychology; studied at Columbia University, Fairfield University and University of Bridgeport. Certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Positive Psychology and Therapeutic Yoga. Training in Mediation and Jungian Theory. I bring the breadth of my training to my practice. In addition to the collaborative environment that I establish with my clients, my clients tell me that The Therapy Cottage is a special and healing environment. The cottage is unique, located next to the river in the calm Village of Rowayton. I also offer Skype and telephone sessions.
