Your Trusted Clinical Psychologist in Newtown, CT
As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals achieve mental well-being and restorative sleep. My practice in Newtown, CT, combines evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with personalized care to address emotional challenges, anxiety disorders, and sleep disturbances. Board-certified in sleep medicine, I bring expertise from roles at prestigious institutions such as Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center and Danbury Hospital Sleep Disorders Center. My approach emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and empowering patients to overcome obstacles through tailored treatment plans. With a background in clinical health psychology and behavioral medicine, I specialize in connecting psychological health to overall wellness.My work extends beyond individual therapy to include public education, media contributions, and advisory roles in chronic illness management. Whether addressing insomnia, depression, or stress, I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for patients to explore their concerns. Telehealth options ensure accessibility for those unable to attend in-person sessions. My commitment to excellence is reflected in board certifications, fellowships, and a track record of improving patients' quality of life.
