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.
As an licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), my therapeutic framework is rooted in using a systemic approach with my clients. What this means is that I believe we understand ourselves within the context of our foundational relationships with others. I work with individuals, couples and/or families from this framework to help them to build healthier relationships within themselves as well as with others.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Connecticut starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Connecticut is home to a wide range of licensed professionals — including LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, psychologists, and psychiatrists — practicing in cities like Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford, and Waterbury, as well as virtually across the state.
Beyond credentials and specialty, practical details matter. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions close to home or the flexibility of virtual appointments. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they feel like a good match before you commit. Many providers also offer a free phone consultation, giving you a chance to ask questions and gauge the fit firsthand.
Therapy in Connecticut can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use your in-network benefits. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
