Whatever brings you here—persistent anxiety, relationship friction, burnout, or the weight of past trauma—you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, I help adults and couples translate distress into meaningful growth by pairing evidence-based methods (CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and positive-psychology interventions) with down-to-earth, compassionate care. My background in dual-diagnosis treatment means I’m comfortable addressing the complex overlap of mental-health and substance-use concerns, and my certification in positive psychology keeps our work strengths-focused and future-oriented.
Clients describe me as warm, straightforward, and collaborative. In session we’ll uncover patterns, practice new skills, and create actionable steps that fit your life outside the therapy hour. I honor cultural, gender, and neurodiversity, and I believe that a secure therapeutic relationship is the foundation for real change.
I offer daytime as well as evening appointments via secure Telehealth and in person sessions in Southington, CT. If you’re ready to move from surviving to thriving—or simply curious about how therapy might help—reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. Let’s see if we’re a good fit and start charting the next chapter together.
