Your brain is a physical organ — and like any organ, it can heal, and change. Your struggles aren't character flaws; they're brain biology, and our brains can heal and grow.

I am a U.S. Navy veteran that came to therapy late in life after a successful career in Tech. I am very analytical but also empathic, compassionate and humorous.

I've spent my career working with people who are dealing with some of life's hardest circumstances — trauma, addiction, domestic violence, grief, chronic illness, and the day-to-day weight of anxiety and depression that doesn't announce itself. I bring both clinical training and real compassion to that work.

As a Black female therapist, I'm especially attuned to the cultural context that shapes how we experience stress, seek help, and heal. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, BPD, domestic violence, and substance use, and I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors across Connecticut.

My approach is practical and trauma-informed — I meet you where you are, not where I think you should be. You've already taken a step by being here. We can take the next ones together.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 29 years of experience supporting people through life’s challenges and transitions. Over the years, I have worked in schools, community programs, and private practice, and each setting has strengthened my belief in the resilience people carry, sometimes without even realizing it.

In my practice, I offer telehealth therapy for young adults and adults. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, and I bring a strengths-based and holistic lens to every session. I often integrate CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and gentle body-centered practices to help clients reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways.

At the heart of my work is creating a warm, grounded space where clients feel seen, supported, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. I believe healing happens in relationships, and I’m honored to walk alongside the people I work with.

Are you feeling stuck? Frustrated? Having a difficult time navigating changes in your life? I am here to help!

I have been in social work practice for over 12 years now. I have worked with various populations including those who are dealing with life stressors, in crisis, dealing with chronic illness, grief/loss, difficulty adjusting to life transitions, trauma and stress. I approach my clients with respect and with an open mind!
