If you are interested in a mind-body-spirit approach and are ready get to the heart of your challenges in order to make positive steps forward, we may be a good fit. I am a Licensed Counselor with specialized training in a transpersonal psychology approach called Psychosynthesis, which emphasizes both logical and intuitive problem-solving, among other aspects. Intuitive development is one of my specialties, and I share intuitive insights in the therapy session as well as provide support and encouragement for my clients to use their intuitive awareness as well. I work best with individuals wanting a holistic approach to counseling, which includes one's spiritual beliefs and support. Dream work, mindfulness, body awareness, and expressive art are specialties of mine as well. I integrated CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy) with the holistic approaches, catering the sessions to my clients needs. My goal is to empower my clients to activate their natural healing instincts to grow and thrive.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that patients deserve to be heard. I am committed to providing thoughtful, collaborative mental health care where patients feel supported, respected and empowered throughout their journey toward mental wellness. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, supportive therapy and evidence-based interventions for conditions including anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma related concerns and life stressors. I have ten years of experience working in the mental health field in inpatient, outpatient residential, long-term care, tele-health and community mental health settings.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hamden
Finding therapists in Hamden starts with knowing what kind of support and fit you want. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to work on. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in sessions.
Hamden is a smaller city near New Haven, so your local in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can add more choice while keeping care connected to licensed therapists in Connecticut. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Hamden can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after your plan is verified, and book directly when you’re ready.
