Grief counselors and therapists in Danbury, CT

Hi! Welcome! Thank you for visiting my page! I am a Marriage and Family therapist with over 10 years in clinical practice. I focus my work on individuals and couple struggling with the stressors and impacts of building their families. I also specialize in infertility and treatment support, loss/grief work and parenting challenges.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping individuals manage depression, anxiety, and life’s challenges. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and self-care strategies, I help clients identify stressors and develop tools for lasting change.

I believe in everyone’s inner strength and ability to self-actualize and achieve their goals given the appropriate tools and support. Therapy is a tool that can help you start your journey in achieving the life you desire. I have 7 years of clinical experience as a social worker. I graduated from Columbia University with a master’s degree in social work and have worked in various settings including hospitals, schools, and universities.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, life transitions, and other emotional and behavioral health challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Southern Connecticut State University and strive to create a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, supported, and respected.

I recognize that every person's experiences and goals are unique, so I tailor treatment to meet each client's individual needs. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based therapy, and trauma-informed care. Together, we'll focus on developing practical coping skills, building resilience, and creating meaningful, lasting change that supports your overall well-being.

I will be your partner and guide in your journey of self discovery and self acceptance. I will listen , truly hear and see you and support the goals you want to achieve.

Do you constantly worry? Do you overthink plans and solutions to worst-case outcomes so that you feel prepared? Does everything have to be done perfectly? Do you have difficulty handling uncertainty? Do you fear making the wrong decision? Do you feel restless? Having difficulty with sleep? Do you move from relationship to relationship? I specialize in helping those suffering from anxiety, including health care professionals and veterans. You don't have to continue suffering. As a seasoned therapist, I can help empower you to stop the cycle of worry and anxiety, find your sense of purpose, become the best version of yourself, and reclaim your life.

Viktor Frankl said, “When we are no longer able to change a situation -we are challenged to change ourselves." He really knew what he was talking about. Each life transition inevitably forces us to navigate "stormy waters." If the challenge has become overwhelming, reach out and give me a call at 423-342-6422. Now seeing clients in Connecticut, Florida, South Carolina, and Texas.

Life can be a lot. Between juggling work, friends and family life, anxiety and sadness can sneak up on you. Therapy isn’t about lying on a couch while someone silently nods, it’s about having a real convo with someone who gets it. Together, we’ll work together out how to quiet the noise, boost your mental health, and build habits that make life feel less like survival mode and more like you actually living it. Life throws curveballs — and when we don’t fully process them, they can sneakily pile up as stress, anxiety, or that heavy feeling you just can’t shake. That’s where therapy comes in.

My mission is simple: create a space where you can express yourself, shake off the weight you’ve been carrying, and explore who you’ve been, who you are, and who you want to become. A safe zone for real talk and growth. EMDR (a way of helping your brain re-file old memories so they don’t keep hitting the panic button), systems theory, person centered theory.

Therapy with me isn’t about lying on a couch in awkward silence. It’s modern, collaborative, sometimes even a little fun — because growth doesn’t always have to feel heavy. I’m open-minded yet structured and here to make the process feel less like a chore and more like a genuine reset.

For insurances I do not accept: Out of network provider: 4 questions to ask insurance representative: Does your plan include "out-of-network" coverage for mental health? What is your annual deductible for mental health benefits? What is your co-insurance? (What percentage does the plan cover?) Is there a limit on sessions?
