*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.

I am deeply committed to clinical excellence as well as a strong belief for growth for my clients and turning their despair to hope.

You are feeling anxious because of the COVID-19 virus. You are wondering what it all means for you, your family and future. You may already be feeling lonely without much support. Or fear experiencing a greater sense of loneliness because of social distancing. You may be feeling lost and very worried. Your feelings are normal. And, there is a way to acknowledge and befriend fear, anxiety and loneliness without it taking over. You can learn to feel an increased sense of control, calm your nervous system and move through this difficult time with less fear and worry.

I believe that inherent in most human beings is the desire to strive for a life of harmony, satisfying relationships, and a sense of accomplishment. When we are confronted with challenging times, these goals may seem unattainable and we feel unrest, disconnected, desperate. Our childhood experiences further shape how we may respond to these challenges, and unresolved issues from our past begin to catch up with us influencing our lives and relationships. Using techniques tailored to your personal situation and needs, let me assist you as you begin your journey towards self-discovery, relationship empowerment and a sense of resolve!

My mission is to help you to explore your life experience, to come to better know your true self, and to become empowered to enjoy your best possible quality of life. Realizing and building upon inner strengths - and courageously working through difficulties within the safety of a therapeutic relationship - are important to this process.

Welcome! I am so happy you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 9 years of experience working with diverse populations throughout Connecticut.

Life is not easy and in this increasingly disconnected society, we often feel alone even when living among the people that we love. As an experienced therapist, I offer a connection built on honesty, authenticity, and empathy. By developing and fostering this connection, we can face your pain together while also uncovering and challenging blocks that hinder your own ability to heal yourself. I use a variety of modalities to help each person meet his or her goals, though EMDR and Interpersonal Process Therapy are my most common approaches to treatment.

I provide both brief and longer-term counseling to individuals and couples grappling with a range of challenges, from life transitions, anxiety and depression to complex PTSD and dissociative disorders. Trauma is a particular focus of mine and I continually educate myself on the most helpful methods of healing. I take a holistic approach, and will work with you to explore how diet and nutrition, activity, sleep, belief systems and relationships impact your overall well-being.

My philosophy for healing orients around the pursuit of self-love and acceptance. Are you interested in knowing some of the signs that you may not be operating from a place of self-value? Here are a few: You feel uncomfortable when given a compliment. You talk yourself out of asking for help. You are reluctant to assert your opinion.You struggle to confront someone who is taking advantage of you. You frequently find yourself wondering if others dislike you.

Venture out with me! Every moment matters and it is important to take care of your mind and body. "Challenging" isn't necessarily bad. "Super nice" doesn't always mean you're getting your needs met. I am here to help change language and give space to bring in new insights through a narrative and/or being in motion! I want you to know that I love people. I have a high positive regard for others, and I am gladly here to help you gather strength to do what is right for you that leads to clarity! I take the therapeutic relationship seriously; and I understand it takes some time to build that trust, and that is okay with me.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, that has been providing assistance to clients for over 11 years. I have worked with couples, families and individuals. I have found that the key to addressing personal issues is to “strive for progress, not perfection.” It is the key to living a fulfilling life for yourself and those around you. My clients are treated with the utmost respect at all times, as respect and trust must be present in order for progress to be made in a therapeutic relationship. I never judge any client situation. Rather, I help guide you through what presents itself as a difficult situation in your life.

"Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward" -kierkegaard. Pursuing additional support is one of the first steps towards therapeutic healing and growth. Although everyone's journey is different, my commitment as a counselor is to help with self exploration, empowerment and ability to uncover the underlying answers within themselves. Sometimes the most important healing tool is having someone to confide in that is safe and non-judgmental; as a counselor my hope is that I can be that support who will work with you towards finding your solace.

Feeling anxious, stressed, struggling with work or/and relationship issues? We will discuss techniques to reduce the anxiety. I conduct face to face or virtual sessions through a site compliant with HIPPA/confidentiality protected. We will look for answers to why you are feeling this way right now.

The answers will provide a positive way to overcome disruptive feelings that right now prevent you from moving forward. I served an outpatient mental health clinic in NY and in a private practice for 18 years.
