You can have a positive mindset with SOLUTION-FOCUSED THERAPY. Feeling worried, or your thoughts race, your sleep is off, or you get that feeling in your stomach? At times we get frustrated enough with someone that it affects your work, family life, or health. I know how it sucks to be questioning, stuck, and worked up with tension and concern. Then, self-doubt creeps in--but it doesn’t need to be like that anymore. If you’re curious how to get things calmer, under control, and feel more self-assured, I’m here as a confidant who listens deeply AND offers tools that really work. You CAN increase confidence!

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) with a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling. I also graduated from NYU.

I strive to make the therapeutic experience a safe and supportive space in which creativity and collaboration can unfold for enlightening and lasting developments. I have expertise working with children, adolescents and young adults facing challenges associated with unique life transitions, and specific concerns including anxiety, ASD, ADHD, emotion regulation, identity exploration, and social skills. My clinical experience encompasses a variety of settings from community mental health centers to academic settings, and with clients expressing various facets of diversity. I am currently licensed in the state of Connecticut.

I have nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field. I combine compassion and my clinical expertise to support the clients I serve. My goal is to help clients navigate and overcome their struggles to support and help regain stability in their lives.

I value building a trusting, authentic relationship with each client. It’s important for clients to feel and recognize the growth and progress that naturally emerge through the process. I believe therapy works best when you feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have experience working with adolescents, adults, and families in various settings including outpatient, nonprofit, and school programs. I've also worked with oncology and intensive care patients in a hospital setting, which deepened my understanding of grief counseling and medical advocacy.

I am trained in EMDR and draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about helping people feel better and function at their best. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, insomnia, mood changes, and substance use. My approach is warm, respectful, and collaborative, and I take time to listen without judgment. Together, we will create a treatment plan that feels practical, personal, and supportive.
