Life is ever-changing and inevitably challenging, it's the human experience. Therapy provides a space to talk with a trustworthy, knowledgable person who can help you to conquer obstacles, heal, and build skills for future endeavors. Every stage of life presents its own difficulties, some more unexpected than others, but I am here to help you navigate them. I have experience working with people ranging from 8-65 years old on a variety of presenting problems including anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma/grief, attachment, life changes, family conflict, and couple/relational issues (communication, infidelity, life stress, etc).

I also have experience working seniors, including those with memory care needs in both individualized and group settings.
My goal as a therapist is to help my clients (adults and kids) find more balance, flow, and peace in their lives. I utilize a holistic approach that combines counseling, art therapy, solution-focused coaching, and mindfulness practices. With these tools, we explore the past and present, as well as wishes for the future. We objectively look at patterns and behaviors that support these goals and overall wellbeing, as well as those that feel less helpful or congruent with your authentic self. I’m also a big believer in sharing concrete tools for my clients to apply in their everyday lives between our sessions.

I have experience working with couples, adults, seniors and teens in various contexts.
Hi there! Taking the initiative to find a therapist shows you are ready for a change. Whether you have been in therapy before or are just starting the process, I hope to provide you with the support you are looking for. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and warm, using various modalities such as CBT, IFS or Gottman Methods depending on your goals. Clients I work with are from all different backgrounds across the lifespan but I have a particular passion for working with the LGBTQIA+ community and couples. Many clients start therapy with me when feeling stuck in their current maladaptive coping or relational patterns.

Westport, CT 06880
I work with adults, teens, college students, empty-nesters, seniors, couples and families.
I know it's hard to take that first step. I am a strength-based family-systems-trained therapist who believes, "it is never too late to be what you might have been." I believe that who we are both in and out of relationship is not fixed, and that implementing small steps toward change is both do-able and rewarding. My passion for therapy is grounded in the belief that problems and worry held in isolation grow, whereas voicing them aloud in a safe place and working together with a compassionate and skilled therapist can help reduce them to a manageable size.

Relationships are the bedrock of our wellbeing. When things go awry in our most important relationships with partners, parents, children or friends our stability is threatened. For over thirty years I have helped couples, friends, adult children and their parents repair and enhance their relationships.

I believe that therapy should address those issues brought by the client in a gentle and compassionate manner. My choice of specialty as a marriage and family therapist is one of the most well-studied and effective interventions in the mental health literature. Family involvement have been consistently linked to better individual and family functioning.
