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.
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.
Looking for a therapist who'll be honest with you — not just agreeable? I offer direct, compassionate care, all from the comfort of wherever you are. I'll validate what you're feeling when it needs to be heard, and gently challenge you when it's time to look at things differently. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we'll work together to reshape the narratives keeping you stuck and help you see your life through a new lens.
