As an LCSW with more than a decade of experience, I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and life's inevitable turning points. Outside the office, my life is full with my small children and energetic puppy. I share that because I understand, firsthand, how full and unpredictable life can feel, and how hard it can be to carve out space just for you. That's exactly what our time together is for.

Taking the first step toward therapy can be difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 16 years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. Throughout my career, I have worked in community mental health and held leadership roles overseeing outpatient mental health programs.
I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, infertility, women’s issues, and life transitions. I believe that while our experiences shape us, they do not have to define us. I am trained EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs and goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Newtown, CT
Searching for therapists in Newtown starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and training that match what you want to work on. A therapist’s profile can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
In a smaller city like Newtown, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Connecticut markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Connecticut. As you narrow your options, consider appointment times, therapy on weekends, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with the people they support.
Therapy in Newtown can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists, review profiles, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re 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 — 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.
