I am currently accepting new clients. Reaching out for support is a courageous first step and a powerful sign of your commitment to feeling better. Navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, OCD, or other concerns is hard, and you don’t have to do it alone. As a clinical psychotherapist, I’m dedicated to helping individuals move through life’s challenges in a compassionate, non-judgmental environment. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. My experience spans private practice and acute inpatient care at Yale NH Psychiatric Hospital, where I’ve supported adults at every stage of life.
I recognize that therapy should be as unique as you are. That’s why I tailor each session to your specific needs, drawing on evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together, we’ll tap into your strengths, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Everyone faces challenges, and I’m here to guide you with empathy and expertise. I invite you to come as you are, ready to explore, reflect, and actively participate in your journey toward greater well-being. We'll create a safe space where you can express yourself freely and feel empowered. The next step in your path to healing and growth starts here.

During our initial sessions, we will dive into the issues you find most important, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first few months and sustained improvement thereafter.
