My Therapeutic Approach & Philosophy
At Aponti Child and Family Counseling in Shelton, CT, my approach focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship that supports children, teens, and families in every aspect of their lives. I have experience working with families facing complex concerns, including trauma, intimate/domestic violence, attachment and bonding issues, depression, ADHD/ADD, parent-child relationship challenges, grief/loss, substance use, mood disorders, and self-harming behaviors. Using evidence-based methods, including Solution-Focused Therapy, I partner with clients to identify effective solutions and achieve lasting outcomes.
I also support families in advocating for educational services, such as IEPs and 504 plans, to help children access their education successfully. I collaborate with schools to foster academic growth, emotional well-being, and developmental support for children in their educational setting.
By understanding a family’s strengths, I help children and families set, achieve, and sustain meaningful goals. My mission is to empower clients to recognize their resilience, harness their strengths, and facilitate growth, so they can create positive, lasting changes in their lives.
