At Greater Hartford Wellness, we believe our work with clients is a collaborative endeavor. More specifically, we seek to collaborate with those who are motivated and curious to change. We bring empathy, expertise, and energy to every session. Successful therapeutic work is founded on a trusting relationship between a therapist and the client. We also aim to create a safe, affirming space for individuals of all cultural backgrounds and gender identities. As a provider, I support individuals to become their most authentic self, embracing all parts of self. Everyone deserves emotional health!
When I work with clients & families, I focus on the whole person to find creativity and healthy appropriate outlets. I believe in giving people the knowledge to take steps to find and define their mental wellness journey.
