Feel like your life is on repeat—and no matter how hard you try, nothing really changes? Are your emotions running the show while you’re left wondering, Why do I even feel this way? You are not broken. You are not powerless. And you are not stuck forever. You can create a life marked by abundance, clarity, and peace—but it starts with understanding what’s driving you beneath the surface. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help clients uncover the root of their patterns, challenge the beliefs keeping them small, and align their actions with who they truly are. When your life matches your identity, everything shifts.
If you’re battling anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-doubt, major life transitions, or recovery from substance use, you’re not just “having a hard time.” Something deeper is asking to be understood. When we uncover the root of your pain, you begin to see yourself and your world differently—responding with clarity, intention, and confidence.
You don’t have to carry this alone. I’ll walk beside you as you lighten the weight, rediscover hope, and build a clearer vision for your life. I hold a Master of Social Work from UConn, along with degrees in Psychology and Human Development & Family Studies. If you’re curious about working together, I offer a free, no-pressure 15-minute consultation

In our first session, we get real about what's keeping you stuck and what you're ready to change. I use CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing to challenge unhelpful patterns and build practical strategies that actually work. Therapy with me is honest, direct, and empowering. You'll learn how to regulate emotions, set boundaries, and move with clarity and confidence.
