Many of my clients come in carrying more than most people can see — anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that still feels fresh, or a past that keeps showing up in the present. I work with adults navigating depression, PTSD, substance use, and the kind of complicated emotions that don't fit neatly into words. I'm genuinely invested in your progress and am here to support you on your path towards living a more balanced life. I see clients across Connecticut via telehealth.

Therapist

Virtual • Monroe, CT


Great to meet you!

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, so if you’re here, you’ve already taken a really meaningful first step.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with individuals, couples, and families navigating a variety of challenges. I specialize in working with addiction, couples and relationship concerns, family dynamics, autism-related support, and anxiety and depression.

My background includes working in both school systems and clinical settings, which has given me the opportunity to support people from many different backgrounds and life stages. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong passion for helping people better understand the patterns within their relationships and families.

Many of the clients I work with are trying to improve communication with a partner or family member, navigate the impact of addiction, support a loved one on the autism spectrum, or manage feelings of anxiety and depression that are affecting daily life.

No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to create a space that feels supportive, honest, and human; where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment.
