I am currently accepting clients for telehealth appointments. I am an experienced clinician in the field of social work. I provide confidential, competent and caring psychotherapy. If you have a current specific issue or concern that you would like to discuss with a supportive professional, let's set up a free 15 minute consultation. I work with people who experience depression, anxiety, grief/loss, acute stress, trauma, and stress management in adults over 18 years of age. I most often utilize cognitive behavioral, cognitive processing, acceptance commitment, and gestalt theories. I believe mindfulness can help support and guide the process.
I believe we all carry an inner resilience that can be activated and drawn on when life gets hard. My job is to understand how you see yourself and how you see what is in front of you, and then work alongside you from there. I see adults navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, and substance use, as well as people looking for a steady, nonjudgmental place to work through whatever they are carrying. If that sounds like where you are, reach out.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Connecticut, and I work with individuals, families, and couples using relational and psychodynamic psychotherapy. We will explore how you can build greater confidence and self-esteem. You will develop new skill sets to process anxiety, depression, trauma, and family conflict. I work with individuals including children, teens, couples, and families to explore and treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, college preparedness, OCD, family conflict, court/legal process, life transitions, and trauma.
My curiosity about substance abuse and family systems sparked my interest in this field, leading me to study substance abuse counseling, which eventually deepened my passion for psychology.
Over the years, I’ve worked in Connecticut alongside DCF and the court systems. Since starting as a case manager in 1995, I’ve continued to grow and gain valuable experience in this ever-evolving field of psychology.
