ART Therapists in Waterbury, 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.

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.

As a therapist who has been practicing for over 20 years, I have developed a well-honed approach, style, skillset, and flow, which helps to make your experience personalized, efficient, responsive, and often highly effective. I possess the intellect and experience to meet you where you are. I intentionally keep my practice small so that I can respond quickly to your needs. Most people do not reach out to therapists because they want to start therapy in 3 months; they probably needed to start yesterday! I can usually get you started within the week and offer flexible scheduling and evening appointments if necessary.

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.

Waterbury is a post-industrial Connecticut city historically known as the 'Brass City' for its dominant role in American brass and clock manufacturing industries, which have largely departed, leaving behind significant economic challenges and one of the higher poverty rates in a state that ranks among the nation's wealthiest. The city has a large Puerto Rican population, and Spanish-language therapy is an essential component of the mental health landscape alongside services for communities from across Latin America and more recently Africa. Saint Mary's Hospital and Waterbury Hospital provide behavioral health services, and community health centers serve the significant Medicaid and uninsured population. Common therapy concerns include poverty-related stress, immigration and diaspora identity, substance use (Waterbury has been significantly affected by opioids), depression, anxiety, and the compounding challenges of accessing mental health care in a struggling city still working to define itself beyond its industrial past.
