About Us

After working with people on the Connecticut shoreline for over thirty years in private practice, I moved my practice to my home in North Branford. I specialize in working with people who are having relationship difficulties, including divorce and remarriage issues. My experience has taught me that it is not helpful to try to fit clients into a particular theory or therapeutic technique; however I rely heavily upon Relational Life Therapy (Real) and Compassionate Inquiry (Mate). Since every client and couple are unique, we need to understand why they are stuck and what is standing in the way of their getting on with their lives. , " Life can be very challenging and disappointing. My patients have taught me that they can overcome and thrive if theyre provided with a non-judgemental, honest relationship in which they can feel safe enough to get curious about themselves and develop more insight and compassion for themselves and empathy for others. ", " In working with couples I find that even when they are hurt and angry, if both people are willing to learn about their partners pain, take responsibility for their part of the problems, and work toward rebuilding trust, relationships can be repaired.
