Psychotherapy Practice

Picture
Life can be difficult and stressful for just about everyone. Some times, we can all use a littIe help. I am experienced and seasoned therapist and have maintained a private practice in Ridgefield, Connecticut for the past 25 years. I provide a safe, confidential and therapeutic environment to help develop the trust and confidence you need to explore and resolve the difficult and challenging issues in your life.

I offer a highly personalized and holistic approach which is tailored to the needs of each individual, couple or family. I provide a comprehensive therapy plan, by incorporating 
a blend of traditional and alternative therapeutic approaches. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral therapy as well as short term, solution focused treatment. As a long time practitioner of yoga and meditation, I have expertise in utilizing and integrating the principals and techniques of meditation and mindfulness into the psychotherapy experience.

My style is interactive, practical and solution focused. The duration of treatment, or the number of sessions, depends on a number of factors including the severity of the problem and the patient's ability to move through the therapeutic process. I
 can work with patient's on a short term basis, under six sessions; as well as provide longer term supportive therapy to help you develop a better understanding of yourself and how you relate to others. 

In my private practice, I provide treatment for adults, couples, children, adolescents and families. Over the years, I have worked in a number of therapeutic settings such as Hospitals, Therapy Centers and High Schools. I recently completed training throught the EMDR Institute to become an EMDR Therapist. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a highly effective treament for PTSD and trauma resolution.
