Since 2003, I have been helping individuals in Connecticut navigate mental health and substance use challenges as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor. I am also a board-certified telemental health provider, offering accessible care to meet you where you are—both emotionally and physically.
In my practice, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you identify and understand thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors. Through this awareness, you can take meaningful steps toward positive change and build a life that aligns with your values.
I honor the unique paths people take in their recovery and offer a supportive, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth. Whether you’re facing ambivalence about substance use, striving for long-term sobriety, or addressing emotional health concerns, I’m here to help. I work with individuals experiencing substance use disorders, anxiety and depression.
