On a personal note, I enjoy long walks with my dog, a good book and time relaxing with my immediate and extended family. As a wife and mom I also experience the struggle we all go through to create balance in our lives between work and home.
Credentials
My theoretical orientation includes Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) which I use with couples and families, and certification as a Gestalt therapist, which focuses on increasing mind/body awareness. I have pursued advanced training
in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) which I use to help clients who have encountered trauma, build resilience. In addition I work with several marriage and family therapy relational models and
child centered play therapy models.
I am a certified Emotionally Focused Therapist and Supervisor, and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, working as an Adjunct Instructor in the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Southern Connecticut State University. In addition, I am a
clinical member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT), the Connecticut Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CTAMFT), the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy
(ICEEFT) and the New York Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy (NYCEFT).
