Integrative Psychotherapy
An approach that taps into the power of the mind body and emotions to unlock change from within
An approach that taps into the power of the mind body and emotions to unlock change from within
I founded Integrative Psychotherapy with the aim of providing a healing space for children, adolescents, and young adults, along with their families. Adults are seen on a case-by-case basis. My practice is situated on Greenwich Ave in Greenwich, CT and I offer in-person and Telehealth sessions.
I believe that sometimes words are not enough and talk therapy is not the only way. I integrate talk therapy with a broad spectrum of experiential techniques including somatic relational and emotion-focused psychotherapy to facilitate integration of mind and body to go beyond symptom reduction to foster long-lasting healing transformation.
I treat clients with general anxiety disorder, social anxiety, separation anxiety, selective mutism, phobia, panic disorder, OCD, agoraphobia, developmental (childhood) trauma, complex trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, emotional dysregulation, eating disorders, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, social challenges, learning disabilities, ADHD, mood disorder, bipolar and related disorders, chronic medical issues, pain management, sleep disorders including insomnia, attachment issues, pre and post adoption, anger management, stress management, relational discord, executive functioning problems, and women issues. I also treat Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) including Asperger's Syndrome (AS) and Early Intervention (EI).
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Certified Family Trauma Professional (CFTP), Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider (CMHIMP), Certified Grief Counseling Specialist (CGCS), Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), trained in Yale Medicine Child Study Center SPACE Program (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), and an expressive therapist. I hold a MA degree from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and an additional MA degree in Exceptional Education. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families in community settings, schools, and outpatient mental-health clinics. My practice is based on neuroscience research. The American Psychotherapy Association and the American Association of Integrative Medicine recognized my achievements and I received designations of Diplomate and Fellow.
I view the body, mind, heart, and spirit as being integrally connected and I emphasize that treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach. This perspective has led me to continuous post-graduate training in the latest evidence-based neuroscience research techniques that can help speed up the healing process and facilitate mind-brain changes in people of all ages. Research in the fields of affective neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology affirm the integration of the modalities that I use with my clients, drawing from attachment theory, somatic psychology, trauma psychology, transformational change studies, memory reconsolidation, and positive neuroplacisity. I have been fortunate to witness how neuroplasticity comes into action with the most challenging clients of all ages.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, transformative, emotion-focused, and relational using the most advanced evidence based therapeutic techniques. I offer a range of therapeutic modalities to provide each client with a rich set of resources for healing. Cutting edge research in the field of neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology affirm that the integration of the modalities that I apply in my practice build resilience and open new dimensions for healing. Resilience is not a trait that you either have or do not have; it is a set of strategies that can be learned and practiced.
Most therapeutic approaches leave the body out of the equation. I believe that mind body integration is crucial for the healing process and therefore I treat the whole person integrating all parts of the authentic self. I specialize in applying an integrative-holistic therapeutic framework to psychotherapy and mental health. It facilitates deep and meaningful therapeutic process leading to lasting results in significantly less time
With extensive training in a wide range of cutting-edge trauma treatment modalities, I seamlessly integrate talk therapy with somatic, relational, attachment-based, and emotion-focused psychotherapy techniques to tailor my approach to the unique needs of each patient. Trauma is a highly individualized experience, often residing in non-verbal areas of the brain that traditional talk therapy alone may not effectively access. In my treatment approach, I consider the entirety of the patient's being, addressing the entire person to tap into areas where trauma is stored. This process unlocks deeply rooted and pervasive wounds often left behind by complex trauma. My integrative method goes beyond mere symptom reduction, striving for transformative healing that nurtures post-traumatic growth. This approach facilitates profound connections with all aspects of the self, allowing the patient to reclaim their core self, ultimately leading to post-traumatic growth. What sets this approach apart is its unique ability to intervene directly by forging new neural pathways and behaviors. This empowers patients to develop alternative ways of responding to their environment, freeing them from the constraints of past habits and facilitating their journey towards healing and growth.
Tailoring treatment modalities to the specific type of trauma and the current stage in the recovery process is crucial. This approach allows for a more personalized intervention, catering to individual needs, and facilitating more effective healing within a shorter timeframe.
I integrate a range of somatic-focused psychotherapy interventions to comprehensively address the needs of adolescents and young adults seeking recovery from eating disorders. My approach places a strong emphasis on empowering individuals with essential life skills while simultaneously addressing core issues within the emotional, cognitive, relational, behavioral, and social domains. Furthermore, I believe in the importance of involving healthy family dynamics to bolster and align with the therapeutic goals.
In addition to my regular office, I have a dedicated therapeutic-activity room for my clients with special needs where they activate their whole self by engaging both mind and body. I employ a broad spectrum of experiential sensory-based therapeutic modalities to maximize cognitive social and emotional outcomes. I specialize in applying mind-body oriented psychotherapy to help my clients live more meaningful life by integrating heart mind body emotions and soul in the therapeutic process.
