I believe that "a difference to be a difference, must make a difference". I have spent most of my adult life working with people to make things different. I got my PhD in Psychology from Yale University and received a diverse training - from children and adolescents to adults and veterans. Many people at times need a listener, someone to help them figure things out, someone to help them change. I try my best to be that person. Prior to my psychology training, I was a physical therapist - and I hope that my awareness of illness and handicaps adds a dimension to my work as needed

Whether your motivating factor is financial, religious, emotional, or even safety, I am here to tell you that you are not alone in this struggle.

So you've had enough. You've had enough of people acting like you don't have a life of your own, your issues to worry about, your stress- because they expect you to solve their problems. When you've been drowning in work and stress, they give you a high five instead of a life vest. You're not looking for anyone to save you; you want a break, some appreciation, and maybe even some peace. It doesn't seem like too much to ask.

I work with high-functioning young adults and professionals who are used to “holding it together” but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck beneath the surface. Many struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, or relational trauma and find themselves overthinking, people-pleasing, or shutting down. I also work with BIPOC clients navigating identity, cultural expectations, and the pressure to always be strong. If you’re self-aware but feel like insight alone hasn’t created change, you’ll likely feel understood in this space.

You’re the reliable one. The high achiever.
But you’re tired and you feel like you're hanging by a thread.
If you grew up with emotionally immature or narcissistic parents, you likely learned to manage instead of feel. You may over-function in your relationships, people-please in your friendships, and are a perfectionist at work. Now, you're ready to let go of the pressure. It's time to just be you.
I specialize in working with individuals who were never given emotional permission to rest, to need, or to be soft. If you're navigating burnout, anxiety, or relationship struggles you don't have to do it alone.

I believe that the more you put into therapy, the more you get out of it. Therapy is not solely a place to vent, but an avenue to strategize real behavioral changes to improve your life and relationships. By making a conscious effort to implement those changes outside of the therapy office and taking responsibility for yourself, you are most likely to benefit from treatment. I am a masters-level, Connecticut-licensed clinician with over 20 years of experience in outpatient and residential treatment. I am a Clinical Member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and a clinical supervisor.

I view therapy as an opportunity to use one own's strengths and values as a way to make sense of conflictual situations, whether interpersonal or intrapersonal, and how those characteristics are seen in the world. Ideally, therapy with me, will involve individuals who are looking to identify, explore, and create goals in a supportive and therapeutic environment. Therapy is meant to help you become your own "checkpoint" person. With the skills and knowledge you develop and practice in our sessions, it can help guide your decisions when faced with unfamiliar or familiar situations that question your values.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
