Life doesn’t always go as planned and we often need help and guidance navigating turbulent waters or unexpected bumps in the road. I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with children, adolescents, and young adults since 1994. Having spent 25 years as a school counselor in Connecticut, I work with all genders, sexualities, races, and beliefs. I have experience working with many different presentations of anxiety and depression and have a particular interest and expertise in working with people with ADHD and the accompanying issues of executive functioning, anxiety, and depression.

I work with adolescents and adults who want to address anxiety disorders, past traumatic experiences, and interpersonal/attachment concerns. For those with anxiety disorders, I use evidence-based approaches, like CBT and ERP. I help clients learn new ways to think, utilize coping skills that emphasize regulating the nervous system, and safely expose clients to anxiety-provoking things in order to overcome fears. For those who have experienced trauma and interpersonal challenges, I use trauma-focused CBT and psychodynamic therapy with an attachment lens. I help my clients process their experiences and reclaim their narratives.

I have unique experience in specifically treating those who have experienced medical trauma.

Whether you want to address a particular concern within your life, navigate a new transition, recover from a recent or past trauma, shift negative behavior patterns, or resolve uncomfortable feelings or emotions, I am here.

I support tweens, teens and young adults through transitions and the development of skills to aid in social-emotional wellbeing.

As a marriage and family therapist, I am uniquely trained to identify, track and break patterns between couples & families in conflict. I work toward helping individuals,couples and families take an active role in creating the kind of change they desire. Marriages are not meant to merely SURVIVE, but rather to THRIVE. In couples counseling I help parties develop greater insight into their relationship and maintain a mindfulness toward its growth. Through focusing on action steps, I actively challenge individuals and couples to take accountability for their own thoughts and behavior as opposed to assessing their partner's.
