Immediate telehealth openings — no waitlist.
Something happened — or kept happening — and part of you never quite recovered. Maybe you've tried to push through, keep it together, move on. And maybe that worked, mostly, until it didn't. I work with adults carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions that leave you feeling unrecognizable to yourself. My clients are often high-functioning on the outside and exhausted on the inside — people who've been holding it together for a long time and are ready to finally put it down. Together we'll get underneath what's driving the pain and build something more solid.
With 20+ years of experience, I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions — including EMDR when appropriate. My approach is trauma-informed and evidence-based, collaborative and paced by you. Available Mondays in person and virtually across Connecticut all week.
You don't have to keep doing this alone. Whatever you're carrying — however long you've been carrying it — there is a way through. I've sat with people in their darkest moments and know that being truly heard can change everything. Reaching out is the hardest step. You've already started.
