Very happily queer and nontraditional relationship friendly!
While I have over a decade of experience, you are the expert on you. We use our time in my office to laugh, cry, and explore through all the most important parts of who you are. My goal is to help you identify themes and patterns that have helped and hurt along your way. Then we roll up our selves and start weeding what's not serving anymore.

I work with adolescents and adults who are looking for more than symptom management—they want to better understand themselves, feel more grounded in their daily lives, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach combines clinical expertise with a warm, genuine presence, offering a space where clients can slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Together, we work to uncover the underlying patterns that keep people feeling stuck and build a stronger sense of connection to themselves and others. I recently relocated my practice to Madison, Connecticut, where I offer individualized therapy.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, that has been providing assistance to clients for over 18 years. I have worked with couples, families and individuals.

Late Afternoon, Evening and Weekend morning for In person and Telehealth (Virtual) sessions. Hello! My approach is to provide a non-judgmental and caring place to allow you a positive counseling experience. Many people who I treat seek counseling for the first time -- to work through a crisis--to stop the pain--to feel better about themselves. I understand the struggle and the desire to feel and be better. If you are willing to share your story and engage in the process, I look forward to working with you. I have 20 years of experience working with adolescents, college-age students, student athletes and adults in crisis.

I am a relationship specialist. Whether it's an affair, broken communication, lost intimacy, safety, or trust, or simply a desire to improve your connection, I help couple's find a path to get there. One of the bigger challenges of modern couple’s therapy is translating what happens in the therapy office to home. Inspired therapy doesn’t always equal change, it offers fleeting insights. Giving couples the tools to take home and transfrom their relationship, is the real work. I’ve developed an effective process to deliver those tools, and then I nurture it with skill building. I also offer post-divorce & couples recovery counseling.

I believe, everyone is uniquely designed and no single approach in therapy can be used exclusively. Over the years of working eclectically with the individuals from all walks of life and being curious about finding ominous approach that could describe it all, I found the following sequence in treatment to be reflective of the needs of many people in therapy.
Phase 1: Psychodynamic - exploring past character formation during the childhood, including the obstacles, traumas from life events or other people. “It’s only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.”

I work well with clients who are trying to manage strong emotions, difficult life circumstances, family stress, or ongoing mental health challenges. They may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, frustrated, or uncertain about what to do next. Parents may be concerned about their child’s emotional or behavioral struggles, while adults may be seeking relief from anxiety, depression, trauma, or relational stress. I help clients build insight, learn practical skills, and move forward with more clarity and support.

Life can feel especially heavy when you’re carrying the weight of past trauma, navigating relationship challenges, facing low self-worth, or moving through a major transition. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to go through it alone. I offer a warm, empathetic space where your story is heard, your experiences are honored, and healing can begin.
