*Accepting new clients at expanded practice location* Do you want to live a life with greater freedom? What if I told you that you could be truly happy, live without anxiety, and have mastery over your body and mind? I understand that everyone is in a different part of the healing process and will design a plan with you to meet your specific goals.

Making the first step and reaching out for help is often an act of bravery that is to be respected and honored. As a therapist, it is my goal to honor this bravery and to create an environment of acceptance, safety, and honesty for my clients where we can collaborate toward building a new perspective and developing the tools that will help create long lasting change and help clients meet their goals.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with training in the Internal Family Systems Therapy Model. I am a member of the American Association of Marriage & Family Therapists (AAMFT) and the Connecticut Association of Marriage & Family Therapists (CTAMFT).

I am comfortable working with individuals, couples, families, and teens.

I am a registered nurse and licensed professional counselor. I am multi-dimensional in the services I provide. I see children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. I started my career working with and teaching children who were not psychologically ready to move from kindergarten to first grade. My love for helping people inspired me to go back to school and pursue a nursing degree. After moving to Connecticut, I worked as a psych nurse at Waterbury Hospital at Merriman Hall for 6 years. This was a locked unit and it was here that I learned all the family therapy methodology.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with older adults and their families. As people age, a variety of issues may arise such as loss of independence, loss of loved ones, changes in family dynamics and possibly the onset of medical and/or mental health illness. Showing understanding and validating feelings through this life stage is the basis of my work. Through identifying fears related to change and loss, I strive to help clients move toward finding greater fulfillment in their lives.

I understand it takes a tremendous amount of courage to enter therapy. My intention is to offer a supportive, compassionate, evidence-based model of treatment particular to the goals of the client.

There are times in our lives when we don't know what is wrong; just that something is. We wonder if we are "crazy" and are scared to be judged if we ask for help. The truth is that very sane people struggle when the difficulties in their lives outpace their coping skills. I've been a therapist for 18 years and believe strongly that healing comes through connection with others. As we increase our knowledge, we become healthier and more resilient when approaching future problems. It is an honor to work alongside people as they discover hidden strengths and resources.

Does the stress of parenting take a tole on you? Are the “baby blues” lasting a little longer than you anticipated?

I am passionate about building strong connections and repairing damaged relationships. It is normal to struggle when our problems seem bigger than we can handle. My role as a therapist is to walk with you on your journey, listen, help explore your feelings and identify solutions to your life challenges.

I believe a therapeutic environment should be authentic, emotionally safe, and at the same time challenging with a balance between hard work and fun.
