When Life Feels Heavy – Understanding Emotional Distress and Anxiety in Connecticut
Life in Connecticut can feel demanding—between work, relationships, and daily pressure, it’s easy to lose balance. You may find yourself managing anxiety that won’t ease, depressive thoughts that linger, or stress that feels impossible to shake. Even high-achieving adults can feel emotionally drained when the nervous system is in overdrive.

You’re Not Alone – Therapy That Recognizes What You’re Going Through
Many people keep their struggles private, working hard while feeling emotionally drained. You might look “fine” to others yet feel disconnected or restless inside. Therapy provides a calm, private space to explore those feelings without judgment and start releasing the pressure you’ve carried alone.
There Is Hope: Healing Is Possible Through Online Therapy
Relief comes from understanding, not forcing change. With guidance and consistent sessions, you can rebuild self-trust, reduce reactivity, and experience more connection and calm. Online therapy meets you wherever you are in Connecticut—no commute, no barriers, just focused support.

Why Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma Show Up – Understanding What’s Beneath the Surface
Emotional distress often reflects learned survival responses—fight, flight, freeze, or collapse. Over time, these patterns can become automatic, leaving you tense or detached. Online therapy helps you understand these reactions and retrain your nervous system for greater calm, safety, and control.
Getting Started with Online Therapy in Connecticut
Beginning therapy is straightforward. Once you decide to explore working together, the first step is completing the New Client Questionnaire on the Contact Page. It takes only a few minutes and helps me understand what’s bringing you to therapy and what kind of support you’re seeking.
After you submit the form:
1. You’ll receive a confirmation message.
2. I’ll review your responses and reach out to schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation.
3. During the call, we’ll talk briefly about what’s been difficult, what you hope to change, and whether online therapy feels right for you.
If it’s a good fit, I’ll guide you through setting up your secure client portal, completing intake forms, and choosing a first appointment time that works with your schedule. Therapy starts with a single step—but it’s one that can make a meaningful difference in how you experience yourself and your life.
