I offer remote tele-health and video therapy sessions to anyone seeking mental health support. I earned my MA in Clinical Psychology from the University of Hartford following earning a BA in Psychology, minoring in Women's Studies, from Uconn. I served at York Correctional Maximum Security Prison as a Post Graduate Clinical Intern. I worked as an IICAPS clinician following graduation. I am now working as an Outpatient Clinician serving clients of varying ages and clinical needs. I take the trust my clients offer very seriously and I only take a limited amount of clients ensuring I can give the best care possible.
I offer Integrated Psychotherapy, which means I use a variety of techniques to effectively reduce symptoms with the clients that I serve. In my experience, the most important part of therapy is a trusting, open relationship between my clients and myself. Therapy with me involves not only processing your struggles, but also moving you forward in your life.
We all deserve support in times of trial, whether it's difficulty in a marriage, struggling with substances, or experiencing extreme sadness or anxiety, everyone goes through hard times. My therapeutic approach serves to relieve some of that burden and teach my clients how to heal from trauma and move forward with new skills in order to live a better life.

While I am currently not accepting insurance, some insurance plans cover out of network clinicians. It never hurts to check.

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist, is providing tried and true resources for those that I serve. I have an extensive range of experience from working with couples to children as young as 4 years old, including teens as well as a wide range of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, as well as those struggling with addiction. I always lead with kindness, compassion, and hope.

I lead with a relational model, as the therapeutic relationship is the number one indicator of success in a clinical setting. I integrate resources from a number of modalities, including CBT, DBT, and identity-centered treatment. I also lean in to self-discovery and insight throughout my treatment with the patients that I serve.
