Compassionate Psychotherapy & Trauma Healing in Farmington, CT
I am a licensed psychotherapist with over four decades of experience in private practice, dedicated to guiding individuals through emotional and psychological challenges. My practice integrates Somatic Experiencing, a trauma-healing approach rooted in understanding the nervous system's response to stress, with Body-Centered Psychotherapy, which combines Gestalt and Bioenergetics techniques. Since beginning my work in 1980, I have expanded my expertise through studies in Pre and Perinatal Psychology, Native American spirituality, and Spirit-based healing practices. My approach recognizes the profound impact of early life experiences, including in utero and birth dynamics, on long-term emotional well-being. I prioritize a client-centered philosophy, drawing from the wisdom gained through years of direct practice and continuous learning.My training in Somatic Experiencing, completed in 2008, equips me to address trauma stemming from both extraordinary events and everyday stressors. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for healing through compassionate, personalized care. My practice in Farmington, Connecticut, serves individuals seeking to understand and overcome the lingering effects of past experiences. I am committed to fostering a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges and grow beyond them. This work remains deeply meaningful to me, and I continue to learn from every individual who entrusts me with their journey.

Services
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing addresses trauma by focusing on the body's response to stress and threat. This method helps resolve the lingering effects of traumatic events, such as accidents, surgeries, or chronic stress, by restoring the nervous system's natural balance. It is particularly effective for trauma rooted in early life experiences, including in utero and birth dynamics.
Body-Centered Therapy
Body-Centered Psychotherapy integrates emotional and physical awareness to address psychological challenges. Drawing from Gestalt and Bioenergetics techniques, this approach emphasizes the connection between mind and body to release stored tension and promote emotional healing. It is ideal for individuals seeking to understand how physical sensations relate to their mental health.
Trauma Counseling
Trauma counseling focuses on resolving the long-term impacts of traumatic experiences, such as loss, abuse, or accidents. Using evidence-based techniques, this service helps clients process and integrate traumatic memories, reducing symptoms like anxiety and depression. The goal is to restore resilience and foster a sense of safety and empowerment.
Pre/Perinatal Psychology
Pre/Perinatal Psychology explores how experiences in utero and during birth influence emotional and psychological development. This specialized therapy addresses unresolved trauma from these early stages, which can manifest as anxiety, relationship challenges, or chronic stress. The approach combines somatic awareness with emotional processing to promote healing.
Spirit-Based Healing
Spirit-Based Healing incorporates meditation and mindfulness practices to support emotional well-being. This service draws from Native American rituals and Spirit-based traditions to foster inner peace and self-awareness. It is designed for clients seeking to connect with their inner wisdom and cultivate resilience through spiritual growth.
