Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in New Haven, CT

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, life transitions, and other emotional and behavioral health challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Southern Connecticut State University and strive to create a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, supported, and respected.

I recognize that every person's experiences and goals are unique, so I tailor treatment to meet each client's individual needs. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based therapy, and trauma-informed care. Together, we'll focus on developing practical coping skills, building resilience, and creating meaningful, lasting change that supports your overall well-being.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years experience helping people navigate life's challenges. As an empathetic and person-centered therapist, I work with adults living with anxiety, depression, substance use and trauma.

My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.

Simple Intentions Counseling LLC looks for client's that are insightful, curious, and ready to explore the deeper layers of their emotional life. They may be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship patterns, or a persistent feeling of being “stuck.” They want clarity, self-acceptance, and tools to manage their emotions — but more than that, they want to understand why they feel the way they do. They’re not afraid to be challenged and are open to connecting their current struggles with earlier life experiences. They want lasting change, not quick fixes — and they’re ready to do the work.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor offering virtual therapy in Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision and specialize in working with individuals navigating the impact of childhood maltreatment and trauma, including sexual abuse. I also support women living with autoimmune diseases who are managing the emotional and psychological toll of chronic illness.

As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.

I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.

Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

I often work with people who appear to be holding things together on the outside, while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. You may have gone through experiences that still live in your body, or you might notice patterns in your life that you don’t fully understand but feel stuck in. If you’ve walked through substance use and recovery, you may find yourself in a season where staying sober isn’t the hardest part anymore—it’s the deeper emotional and relational work that feels heavy. If any of this resonates, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I work with young adults and adults who are ready to slow down, get honest, and engage in meaningful therapeutic work at a pace that feels safe. Many of the people I support are navigating anxiety, trauma, shame, relationship stress, or major life transitions. Others come to therapy after years of surviving and are now ready to understand themselves more fully, build healthier patterns, and experience a deeper sense of emotional freedom.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and relational. I believe healing happens when you feel seen, supported, and empowered—not rushed or fixed. My work is trauma-informed and integrates evidence-based practices with a focus on helping you reconnect with yourself in a more grounded and compassionate way. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you do the deeper work, I would be honored to support you.

I help women move through fear, self-doubt, and old patterns so they can step into clarity, confidence, and fulfillment — both personally and professionally. Many of my clients are navigating transitions like ending relationships, redefining careers, or growing businesses while trying to protect their mental health. Together, we focus on strengthening self-trust, setting boundaries, and creating a mindset that supports lasting change. As a therapist and mindset coach, I combine evidence-based tools with forward-focused coaching to help you move from awareness to action — and build the confidence to trust yourself again.
