About Connie
She often helps people facing midlife changes, workplace pressure, and shifting family roles. She pays close attention to issues that affect women, social anxiety, aging, and caregiver stress. Sessions aim to make overwhelming feelings easier to understand and act on.
Her style blends several well-known approaches. Connie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and build new coping habits. Client-centered work keeps the focus on each person’s goals and values.
Connie also incorporates relationship-focused techniques, including elements of the Gottman Method, when relationship patterns are part of the concern. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and stick with it.
People meet Connie to sort through family strain, parenting stress, career questions, feelings of emptiness, or guilt and shame. She guides clients in making concrete changes, improving communication, and regaining a sense of purpose.

Session options are not specified here, so confirm current formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. They also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them focus.
