I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor in the state of Connecticut. I have worked in various clinical settings including but not limited to in-home, community, private practice and outpatient settings. As a Counselor, I have several years of experience providing counseling services to individuals with varying ages and diagnoses. I mainly specialize in Trauma processing, Grief processing, Anxiety, Depression, Stress Management, Self-esteem concerns, and Relationship issues. I would describe my practice as one that is built upon the belief that people begin to heal at the moment, they feel heard.

Oftentimes, people either are unaware of symptoms that arise over time or are told to simply get over them. I offer people the opportunity to be themselves, while also giving them the responsibility to work towards realistic goals they set. I have a history of working with both youth and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment, relationship issues, psychiatric issues, child/ parenting issues and co-occurring disorders. Together, we can address those struggles and work towards a better tomorrow.

I am a licensed psychologist with an interest in helping people live the life they want. I will help you gain self-awareness and understanding to help you be better able to manage and control your emotions, and by extension, your life. I have provided therapeutic services for over 10 years. I employ a multimodal approach to therapy, but would primarily characterize me as a cognitive-behavioral therapist, with specific training in family intervention, behavioral modification, and trauma-informed care.

Are you thinking it’s time for a change in your life? Or you want to take control and stop feeling stuck, lost, and unsure of what to do next? But somehow, even with the desire and willingness to change and it feels like there is still something standing in the way. In your life you have been through some things and relationships that have left you with feeling alone, overwhelmed, empty and just overall fed up and tired of how life has been for you. All these feelings have burdened you for so long that it has kept you in a cycle that you just can’t seem to get yourself out of.
