Since beginning my counseling career, I have worked chiefly with children, adolescents, teenagers, and their families, to help people become more aware of their strengths, as well as their limitations - both individually and as a unit. I teach new techniques to incorporate into one's daily life, to help manage these inevitable obstacles. Growth and healing aren't linear, though it would be nice if they were. With a teamwork approach, we can start this process! We all have strengths within us - the fact that you are viewing this page right now tells me that.
I founded my own private practice in November of 2020, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, especially on the younger generations, and am currently running it in downtown Fairfield, CT.
I encourage you to reach out, with the hopes of building this essential system in your life, and healing in the process. One of the most important pillars of counseling is empathy; I was trained that one can truly do this, having been on the other side of the chair. This is something I can offer to my clients, genuine understanding and support.
