You might be a pre-teen, teen, college student, or young adult who has started to notice feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or somehow not quite like yourself lately. Perhaps part of you is already wondering what it would feel like to have a little more clarity and ease. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), and a Ph.D. psychologist. I earned my psychology doctorate degree from the University of Connecticut and specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions with clarity and confidence.
In our work together, you will find a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. My approach is collaborative and practical, and at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we can begin to develop skills and strategies that fit your unique needs to help you feel more grounded, capable, and in control.
I am here to support you in that process.
