I am a mental health counselor, with a degree in counseling psychology, licensed in the State of Connecticut; with over 10 years of experience working in my private practice and in group homes. My counseling experience has allowed me the opportunity to provide counseling for individuals, children, families, and couples; with a wide range of concerns including various types of anxiety, depression, anger, grief and loss, family problems, parenting problems, relationship problems, and attachment difficulties. I also have over twenty-five years of training and experience working as a family counselor in the judicial system; providing services for domestic violence, divorce, and child custody. In addition, I have also helped many people who have experienced various types of trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, solution-focused therapy and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
My passion is counseling, and it is always a great sense of accomplishment when a client expresses improvement in their emotional well-being or situation, and it is my hope that you will experience improvement during your counseling journey, as well. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Rhonda has helped me unpack so much of my past and present that has led me to a much better mindset. I now have the tools and knowledge to be more mindful, present, and accepting. With all her help, my anxieties and worries are almost close to none especially after practicing all the habits she has encouraged me to start/do. Thank you so much Rhonda. I can definitely recommend her and will return once I need some help again. Life has been so much easier after therapy.
