ART Therapists in Hartford, CT

I specialise in crisis, trauma, anxiety, and supporting individuals and families living with chronic illness. I use well-established therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s needs, helping individuals develop insight, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change. I work with children, teens, and adults. I am one of fewer than 10 providers of Accelerated Resolution Therapy in the UK, have assisted in ART trainings in the USA and also offer ART consultation/ support to new clinicians. I also offer TF-CBT, and other talk therapies. If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in pain from past experiences, you're not alone and you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a safe, compassionate space to begin healing. Together, we’ll work at your pace. When you're ready, I’m here to help, reach out and let’s take that first step.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, sleep issues, or painful memories? Do relationships feel challenging or leave you feeling drained? If these symptoms affect your daily life, I'm here to help. As a clinical psychologist with over 27 years of experience, I specialize in treating adults with insomnia, nightmares, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, I am board-certified in behavioral sleep medicine. In our work together, you will find me warm, caring, professional, practical, and down-to-earth. I believe in working collaboratively, informing you about your symptoms, providing you with practical ways to address your symptoms, and ensuring you can see your progress. Whether you're facing long-term challenges or sudden difficulties, I'm here to support you. Please reach out; let's explore how we can work together on your journey toward healing.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed or relationally challenged? Are you processing old or recent traumas, or grieving a painful loss? I know how difficult it can be to ask for help. My years of training and life experience enable me to provide caring competent treatment. Please don't leave yourself alone with your struggles any longer.

I’ve spent a lot of time developing expertise in the issues I work with; however, I rely equally on my heart and gut sense in working with each client uniquely. I have a straightforward, common-sense style and know the value of elbow grease in making life changes. Trauma in all its forms is the thread that connects the different life problems I specialize in working with. I don’t believe in having only one tool in my toolbox, any more than I believe in having only one trauma treatment available to help you. Let’s figure out what tools work best for you, whether that be EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brain Spotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, or the Safe and Sound Protocol. We currently have openings for intensives, men's and women's groups, and online workshops.

I’m trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Autism Parenting, and effective relational communication strategies. Clients report that I have a great combination of empathy and practicality in my style.

Hartford is Connecticut's state capital and one of the country's starkest examples of urban poverty in a wealthy state—historically the insurance capital of America, it now has some of the highest poverty rates in the northeast, with a predominantly Black and Puerto Rican population that has been disproportionately affected by decades of disinvestment. Spanish-language therapy is essential in Hartford, where a large Puerto Rican community makes up a significant proportion of the population, and bilingual practitioners who understand the cultural dimensions of Puerto Rican mental health experience are in significant demand. Hartford Hospital's Institute of Living—one of America's oldest psychiatric hospitals, founded in 1822—provides important behavioral health resources to the community. Common therapy concerns include poverty-related trauma, systemic inequality and racial stress, immigration and diaspora identity, anxiety, depression, and the compounding challenges of significant unmet mental health need in the capital of a prosperous state.
