Experienced Clinical Psychologist

For more than 13 years, I have been providing education and support to parents raising children in the Fairfield County area. In my private practice (from which I retired in 2024) I worked with adults and teens struggling with anxiety, trauma, learning challenges, and health issues (including TBI, chronic pain and chronic illness).

My Philosophy

Everyone can learn a more effective way of managing their life, their job, their family. All it takes is good enough knowledge, the will to change, time, effort, practice, and encouragement.

In group workshops, and speaking engagements, I teach people how to create positive change for themselves and their loved ones. My approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems and integrated with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Short-term Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness Training, Life Coaching, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Neuropsychological Rehabilitation. My goal is to help the people I work with to learn, develop, and practice effective strategies for becoming more calm, capable, and connected.

Client Testimonials

“We are just writing to say we are very thankful for you at this moment in time. Other than a small blow up by our son shortly after schools closed, we are all doing very well despite being holed up together for nearly two weeks. In fact, anecdotally, I think we are doing better than a lot of other families. More calm, less arguments, more cooperation. Without you, we are sure the report would have been VERY different. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!”
