With nearly two decades of experience in the helping field, I bring a compassionate, knowledgeable, and client-centered approach to therapy. I earned my Masters degree from the UConn of School of Social Work in 2013. I have worked in a variety of settings including therapeutic group homes, IOP Programs, school-based services, Emergency Mobile Crisis, and outpatient care. I work with individuals ages 17 and older and strive to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported. Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to meet you where you are with compassion, respect, and genuine care.
I have experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, family conflict, low self-esteem, grief and loss, PTSD, and challenges with social skills. Together, we can work toward building insight, developing practical coping tools, and helping you feel more confident and grounded in your day-to-day life.
Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and guided by your goals. Using a strengths-based approach, we’ll create clear, realistic goals and track progress over time. You’ll gain practical tools, self-awareness, and confidence. You remain in control, and we’ll adjust as needed to support your growth. Book with me now by clicking on my website!
