Hey! I’m Kevin. I am a therapist who is dedicated to helping individuals and families achieve their goals. I utilize a client-driven, affirming, supportive, judgment-free, and empowering approach to therapy. I also am a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW) in the State of Connecticut,
I am a graduate of the University of Connecticut School of Social Work, where I earned a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I also attended Central Connecticut State University, where I received my undergraduate degree in Social Work. With almost three decades of social work experience, including over two decades with child protective services, I pride myself on my commitment to celebrating diversity in my work with children, adolescents, adults, families, couples, and individuals. I am a former foster parent and have adopted four children, who have since turned into wonderful adults. I find that my gentle demeanor, combined with my compassion and humor (“Dad Jokes,” anyone?), create a relaxed and emotionally safe environment that helps promote healing.
In our sessions you will find that I celebrate diversity, honest self-expression, and originality, and that I will assist you in looking inward to introduce (or re-introduce) you to the inner-strength that you may have forgotten or not yet realized.
I offer support and education regarding the following issues:
– Grief and Loss issues
– Life Transitions
– Mindfulness
– Relationship Issues
– Inner Child Work
– Communication Issues

You no longer need to navigate rough waters alone. Not only can I help to guide you through the choppy seas, through our journey you will come to realize that, ultimately, you are the captain of your own ship.
