You are welcome here.
The work of therapy is rarely about a single, tidy problem. Most people arrive carrying several things at once — a grief they haven't finished, an anxiety they can't name, a marriage that's grown quiet, a faith that's gone uncertain, a self they've lost track of. My practice is built to receive all of it.
Dedicated to healing.
I work with adults, clergy, caregivers, and vocational helpers.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in proven, evidence-based methods. My aim isn't only to help you understand what you're carrying, but to help you actually heal — to feel steadier, function better, and live more fully.
Specializations.
Below are the areas I work in most often. But people are always more complicated than categories. If what you're carrying isn't named here, it still belongs in the room. Reach out, and we'll talk.
Anxiety
The kind that won't loosen its grip, that you've learned to function around but never quite got past. It hums underneath an otherwise successful life and slowly takes the joy out of things that used to feel easy.
Depression
Depression comes loud and quiet — the kind that flattens everything, and the kind that lets you keep going while something inside has stopped. I work with both, and with the isolation that so often comes with it.
Trauma
Trauma is an experience too overwhelming to fully process at the time, one that keeps shaping a life in ways that aren't always visible. The work is to approach it gently, at a pace you can tolerate, with someone who can help you hold and make sense of what you've carried alone.
Life Transitions
A transition can take almost any form — a marriage or a miscarriage, an aging parent or a child leaving home, a retirement, a divorce, a move, a career change, or a faith that no longer fits. What makes them hard is rarely the event itself; it's the self that has to be rebuilt around the change.
Caregiver Exhaustion
Caring for someone over a long stretch — a parent with dementia, a spouse with chronic illness, a child with complex needs — wears at you slowly. There's the guilt of resenting it, the grief of watching someone you love disappear by degrees, and the exhaustion of having given so much that your own life has gone quiet underneath it.
Emotional Overwhelm
Anger that feels bigger than its trigger, moods that swing harder than they should, the quiet shame of losing your temper with the people you love most. Therapy helps you reach what lives underneath — almost always a pain waiting to be named — and find your way to something steadier.
Relationship Difficulties
Relationships can wound slowly, as communication breaks down, trust thins, and distance grows where closeness used to be. Many people carry that pain alone, holding a marriage or a family together while feeling unseen themselves. Therapy is a place to understand those patterns and work through the hurt beneath them.
Returning to Faith — or Wrestling with Leaving It
Some people come because their faith has gone quiet and they want help finding their way back; others aren't sure they still believe what they once did and need a safe place to think it through. Wherever you are in that question, you're welcome to bring it here.
Spiritual Confusion and Inner Conflict Sometimes a faith stops making sense of your life, or you feel a dissonance between what you believe and how you're actually living. These are the questions you might once have brought to a priest or a pastor but no longer feel safe asking anywhere.
Identity in Transition
The hardest part of a major change is often the slow realization that the person you used to be doesn't quite fit anymore. The work is to find your way back to a self that feels whole, current, and true.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18
A note on spirituality.
I believe it is my training as both a licensed counselor and a Catholic priest that has informed my ability to provide true and meaningful healing. For those who want it, spirituality is welcome in the room — as language, as practice, as a way of understanding what's happening. For those who don't, my work is the same: rigorous, attentive, and fully present.
What I bring into every session, regardless, is the same conviction that the person in front of me is not beyond healing — that wholeness can be found again, that suffering is real, and that healing is genuinely possible.
SESSIONS & SCHEDULING
All sessions are conducted through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth, available throughout Connecticut. Many of those who work with me find that the privacy of a session from their own home — without the commute, without the waiting room — allows them to settle more quickly into the work.
For some, therapy unfolds as a one-on-one conversation. For others, the Men's Group offers the additional gift of being witnessed by others walking similar ground.
