Therapists in West Hartford, CT

I am passionate about helping people push past barriers such as trauma , anxiety or depression that are preventing them from living their fullest life. Many times life's traumas create lifelong negative beliefs that hold people back from how they want to live. I specialize in working with people to help them remove traumatic barriers and create long lasting change in their relationships, careers and life satisfaction. I am dually licensed as a marital and family therapist and use a systemic approach in my treatment of individuals and couples.

I am a Master’s Level Social Worker/Therapist (LMSW) with a passion for working with teens, young adults, and adults as they navigate high school/college athletics, work life stressors, cope with traumatic events, manage anxiety, and depression. Being a former collegiate athlete, I empathize with the overbearing stressors that may be felt.

Eating disorders and experiencing life stressors are often painful, exhausting, and really difficult to go through. People can get stuck in vicious cycles that are no longer productive but are maintained because it may be the only thing that helps. I can offer support to help break the cycles of eating disorders or life stressors to allow you more freedom and peace in your life. I believe that recovery is possible and everyone is deserving of recovery. With a little support, perspectives can shift, new discoveries can be made, and recovery can be possible. I am here to help support and guide you toward your path of recovery.

As a Certified EMDR Therapist I specialize in trauma, performance enhancement and anxiety/depression. I work with adults and adolescents to facilitate personal growth and achieve substantive change in their lives. Negative cognitions, unhealthy beliefs and emotions can be linked to unresolved disturbing/traumatic experiences from ones past. The remnants of these experiences can lead to low self-esteem, self-doubt, and emotional dysregulation. I assist clients to cultivate greater self-awareness while reprocessing the past disturbances in a way that enhances self-confidence, personal performance and interpersonal relationships.
