Through my prior work in urgent, school based health, and primary care I have successfully treated patients coping with ADHD, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, and insomnia.

You feel overwhelmed, sad, angry and frustrated, but the worst part is the guilt. This is supposed to be the happiest time of your life, and it is difficult to share these feeling with others. Imagine relief from these scary feelings and finding a path to happiness. Individuals who are seeking to find the next step on their journey find our relationship to be a safe place to explore these emotions and develop a renewed sense of self.

As a person who has been challenged by my own anxiety issues and sought help and insight through counseling, I understand that it often takes more than just knowing your "story" to create effective and lasting change. I discovered hypnotherapy as a "last resort" and within eight sessions my general anxiety decreased and my fear of flying all but disappeared. I believe the key to that kind of change comes from an openness to possibilities and a readiness to let go of old thought patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you.,

For more than 25 years, I have specialized in working with adults of all ages who find themselves stuck in their lives. My patients tend to be people who would like to know themselves better and discover self-defeating patterns they would like to change. Most of the people I see are facing some kind of relationship, family, or work conflict often caused by anxiety or depression. The most rewarding work for me is helping people who are motivated to change and face issues in their personality and behavioral patterns that get in the way of living life more fully.

I hold credentials in Neuroscience, Ayurvedic Medicine, Clinical Herbalism, Somatic Therapies, and integrative healing paradigms.

Whatever it is that you are struggling with, I am certain of one thing, it has been beating you up and convincing you that there is no hope. You’re tired of it, you’ve been fighting it tooth and nail and yet it still persists. You are surviving without any tools and my role to you is to give you a hammer. As someone who has ten years experience working with people who struggle with anger, anxiety, relationship issues, and who struggle with conventional therapy, I have found reliable methods to elevate people to where they want to be in life.

For the past 30 years, my personal quest has been to find the most transformative tools, skills and techniques to create a healthy, joyful and abundant life. Understanding is power. Once you grasp that your personal beliefs create your emotions, and that those emotions cause your behaviors, you’re then in a position to transform your life. Similar to updating a computer's old operating system to gain maximum function, we need to update our old ways of thinking as well. Outdated and negative beliefs can be reframed and replaced with healthy and positive ones.

Life is full of chaos and uncertainty right now. It may have brought you stress, anxiety, worries, sadness or grief. You may have had to deal with many life changes, some that you want and some that you don't. It makes sense to feel off, overwhelmed, and like you lost your footing. Wouldn't it be great to take a moment to breathe, regroup and learn how to adapt to life’s challenges? Clients come to me to feel seen, heard and sort through what is happening for them. They have overcome challenges in life and now want to find peace and healing. They want to be confident, calm, and true to themselves.

My most recent endeavors have been learning how to heal without medication. Many don't know that 90% of our brain's serotonin is made in our gut. Let me teach you how to feel better by eating the right foods. I also have a great deal of experience working with adolescents and can effectively provide emotional and behavioral support for youth with wide array of needs utilizing a holistic and strengths-based clinical approach.

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.

As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I am deeply committed to facilitating healing and growth across diverse populations, including individuals, couples, families, and the aging community. With a focus on holistic well-being, I specialize in addressing a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, health-related concerns, life transitions, and supporting mothers through their unique challenges, including those related to postpartum and menopausal transitions. Additionally, I offer specialized expertise in individual, couples, and family therapy, as well as support for the aging population.

I take a collaborative approach towards helping clients develop insight and create fresh alternatives to ineffective patterns, assisting them with examining intergenerational transmissions of trauma, relational trauma, and maladaptive coping strategies. My ideal client is looking for a psychotherapist that integrates evidence-based practices, including EMDR and Clinical Hypnosis, with Shamanic, alternative and energy healing approaches into sessions. My ideal client is looking to gain insight, learn to regulate emotions and listen to their emotions, manage their energy and is committed to doing the work to become their best self.

Therapy is an art. My patients come to me to paint their life pictures and I am here to guide them in this journey. I work with them to gain insight into themselves and their problems and acquire practical tools to better cope with them. I am a firm believer in the "real relationship". I am NOT a blank screen and the treatment is very much interactive and collaborative.

*Not accepting new clients at this time* Life in our contemporary society is far more complicated and stressful than in previous generations. Our coping skills are continually being tested, it is important for us to learn new ways to handle life’s changing demands and challenges. People and problems do not exist in a vacuum; home, school, work, and social environments, as well as cultural heritage, are important factors in how we feel and act. It is vital for us to acknowledge and understand these influences. Counseling is a process of exploring, clarifying and identifying what we require in order to feel better about our lives.

Clients who struggle with symptoms of anxiety and depression are frequently confused by why they suffer. My clients work towards understanding themselves and inevitably develop a more positive relationship with themselves through insights.

Most people come to therapy because they feel overwhelming feelings (like depression, anxiety, or anger), or they find themselves behaving in ways (like damaging relationships, or avoiding things they should be facing) that are hard to change. My approach is primarily cognitive-behavioral (CBT), which means that I try to help people discover patterns of thinking that produce emotions or behaviors that don't work for them, and then learn to think and act differently. It's important for you to feel listened to and understood, but you can also expect my style to be fairly "active," and for our goals to be as clear as possible.
