Iām a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about helping people feel better and function at their best. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, insomnia, mood changes, and substance use. My approach is warm, respectful, and collaborative, and I take time to listen without judgment. Together, we will create a treatment plan that feels practical, personal, and supportive.
Welcome! My therapeutic style is supportive, solution focused, non judgmental and collaborative. I provide a safe space for you to engage in the a collaborative therapeutic process to meet your individual needs and goals.
Therapy should be as unique as the individual seeking itāwhat works for one person may not work for another. I provide a relaxed, welcoming environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. My approach is grounded in attachment theory and psychodynamic therapy, meaning I help clients uncover how past relationships and experiences shape their current patterns, behaviors, and emotional well-being
I am a therapist with over 10 years of experience working with youth who are dealing with trauma and depression. I've spent years working with children and families as a DCF worker, foster care therapist, outpatient therapist, and now school based therapist. If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, family issues, or any tough emotional struggle please reach out!
Iām a psychotherapist and coach with nearly two decades of experience working with teens, young adults, and families. Much of my work focuses on strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and helping people navigate major life transitions, including adolescence, college, relationships, and career development.
Over the past several years, Iāve focused deeply on generational, religious, and family dynamicsāespecially the ways past experiences shape how we relate to ourselves and to the people closest to us. My goal is simple: to help people like each other as much as they love each other.
My approach is practical, direct, and collaborative. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems, while also helping clients develop clear communication skills, emotional awareness, and confidence in who they are and how they want to live.
Clients who work with me can expect thoughtful conversations, honest feedback, and a focus on meaningful growthānot just symptom relief.
I believe that meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and supported. My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals and families can explore challenges, build on their strengths, and move toward positive change.
I hold both a Bachelorās degree and a Masterās degree in Social Work and have over five years of experience working directly with children and families. My professional background includes supporting children and caregivers through emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns, while collaborating with families to strengthen communication, coping skills, and overall well-being.
In addition to my work with children and families, I also have several years of experience supporting older adults, including assisting individuals and families with long-term care planning. This work has given me a deep appreciation for the emotional, practical, and relational challenges that can arise during later life transitions, caregiving roles, and decision-making processes.
I am passionate about supporting clients across the lifespan and helping individuals and families navigate change with greater clarity, resilience, and connection.
Do you feel that your life, marriage or family are falling apart? Do you say to yourself that things can't go on the way they are yet unclear about a way out? I am an ally who can see things from your point of view. I listen, reflect, and support you on your process of making sense about issues close to your heart.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Bridgeport
Searching for therapists in Bridgeport starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approach match what you want to work on. Some therapists may note experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, family therapy, or trauma-informed care in their profile.
Bridgeport has a local therapist community, but in-person availability may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Looking beyond nearby offices in areas like Black Rock, Downtown, and the East End can give you more options, and virtual appointments can expand access to licensed therapists across Connecticut. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
Therapy in Bridgeport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare options in one place. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when youāre ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point ā individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
