I bring gentleness, humor, and warmth to my work, creating a space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences with curiosity and self-compassion. I am skilled in helping folks navigate life transitions or crossroads, whether they are facing career changes, shifts in relationships, identity exploration, or personal reinvention. A population that I do well with are those who self-identify as highly sensitive and/or neurodivergent. I understand the unique challenges and strengths that come with having a brain that processes information differently, and I offer a therapeutic space that is validating and intuitive.

My training and interests center on attachment, trauma, and challenges around pregnancy and birth. Events at this time along with the enduring traces of the past can have powerful effects on later relationships and the emotional health of adults and children. I work help relationships get off to a good start or back on track and to unravel the enduring effects of the past on experiences in the present. I believe that the relationship with your therapist is the springboard for change and I strive to create a sensitive, supportive, and thoughtful atmosphere in which this can blossom.

Sometimes life gets heavy and it’s hard to know where to start. Maybe something happened and you haven’t felt like yourself since. You love your kid but right now, home feels like walking on eggshells. They might be shutting down and won’t let you in, their meltdowns might be exhausting everyone, or you’re doing everything you can think of and it still doesn’t feel like enough. We weren’t born with the tools to manage every stress in life, whether that’s in parenting, in relationships, or in just trying to feel like yourself again. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Anxiety, Stress, Depression and Grief are all common life experiences, but sometimes they can become so overwhelming that we need some support to get back on sturdy ground. We all have strengths and coping skills that sometimes get buried beneath managing our day to day responsibilities and stressors. We can also get stuck in patterns that aren't leading us towards the life we want to build. I am here to help you tap into strengths and skills, find some new ways to manage stress, engage with difficult thoughts and emotions and navigate living in a challenging world.

Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, confused or that you are carrying an issue all alone? Maybe you went through a life transition and you aren’t handling it as well as you thought you would. Maybe you've realized that you are missing out on some of the good things in life and you know you need to make some changes, but don’t know which ones or how. You might have some traumatic or conflicting experiences and need to process the past. It's uncomfortable to talk to your family or friends about this, especially because it is so hard to explain what you are going through. We can work together to unravel, explore and rebuild.

Need Sleep? Emotions running the show ? Feeling overwhelmed or disconnected? Being able to live with greater ease and steadiness everyday is the goal that most us are looking to expereice in our lives. The ability to use traditional Western psychology with Eastern medicine, Yoga therapy and Ayurveda, create optimal outcomes for this goal. With more than 25 years working in the field of trauma threapy as a psychotherapist , I found yoga thearapy and ayurvedic mediicne especially helpful in the treatment of anxiety, depression and related issues. Combining talk therapy with yoga and ayurveda increase healing outcomes.

Has the weight of balance shifted lately?
Maybe your relationships look different than they used to, or you’re carrying more than you’d like to admit. I work virtually with adults across Connecticut and Florida…meeting you exactly where you are. If you’re looking for a space where doubt can coexist with hope and assumptions can soften into curiosity, you’re in the right place.

Each person, each relationship is unique. I learn about an individual's distinct history, strengths and style of relating in order to use my 30 years of experience and knowledge to shift unwanted behavioral patterns and belief systems. This is done in a respectful and trusting relationship that enables a person or couple to move their life successfully forward in their chosen direction.

Over the years I have worked with various individuals and couples who have experienced hardships related to trauma, grief and loss, mood disorders, family dynamics, relationships, identity development & acceptance, coping, and more. Additionally, I work closely with the experiences of immigrant, refugee, and international communities specific to cross-cultural adjustment; multicultural, diversity, and social justice challenges; and community coping and resilience.

I believe that we all hold the innate power to make meaning out of whatever challenges we encounter in our life, and in that power lies the ability to heal, grow, and evolve. As a therapist, I am passionate about supporting my clients as they tap into their own inner resources to embody the best version of themselves through their current life situations. My approach to the therapeutic process contains the belief that all experiences, despite how seemingly hopeless, can be integrated and used for one’s benefit. Curiosity and unconditional positive regard are elements I bring with me as I have the honor of sitting with clients.

Are you struggling to feel better in your life?

What I have learned in my years of practice is that you, the client, are the source of your own strength and resilience. My role is to help you re-connect to that source, to get in touch with your potential, and help you make peace with the past.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, pain, or the long-term impact of an eating disorder, you do not have to carry it alone. Many of the people I work with have spent a long time in survival mode — managing symptoms, holding everything together, and trying to keep moving forward while feeling disconnected from themselves. Whether you’re struggling with PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, or recovery from disordered eating, therapy can be a space to feel understood, regain stability, and begin healing in a way that feels sustainable.
