Hi there! My priority as a psychotherapist is to create a warm and secure therapeutic foundation where clients feel empowered to focus on achieving their individual goals. My clinical approach is based in existential-humanistic therapy, with a particular focus on trauma. This means that I view the individual as the expert and my role is to help support bringing awareness and insights to the surface. Special consideration is made to finding meaning and building connection to oneself and others.

Psychotherapy gives you the opportunity to establish a healing relationship in which you can become aware of your strengths and challenges in a safe space in order to recognize the changes you want to make in your life and appreciate the qualities that are worth holding onto.

Marriage & Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Norwalk, CT 06851
Something shifts in midlife. Sometimes loudly, sometimes in a whisper, but you definitely feel it. Maybe it's perimenopause, a midlife transition, or you just don't feel like yourself. Maybe it's anxiety that's gotten louder, a body that feels unfamiliar, or a quiet grief for a version of yourself you're not sure how to hold onto. Whatever brought you here, you're not falling apart. You're at a threshold, and this work is about learning to cross it with intention.

Waitlist for new clients
Emotions are what make us human. We as human beings desire a sense of belonging. Understanding how we connect with others through our emotions and our environment can give us a deep sense of who we are. In therapy, we can learn to radically accept where we are emotionally and where we can grow. Therapy is a commitment to self-love. My goal is to create a safe and trusting space where effective communication can flourish. By openly exploring where barriers to growth might be and developing ways to mindfully process possible outcomes, we can together develop new ways to become whole.

You carry a lot, and you carry it well — so well that most people have no idea just how much you’re holding inside. Beneath the surface is a deep emotional world and quiet endurance of someone who keeps going, even when it’s hard. Maybe you feel lost, unsure what to do with downtime, or stuck in dating that never quite works. You might hide the struggle through scrolling, drinks, or perfectionism — because you’ve mastered the mask. But something’s got to give. You're no longer seeking quick fixes. You want to understand the why beneath your struggles and create grounded, lasting change in how you feel, relate, and live.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
