Family therapy and counseling in Waterbury, CT

I believe we all carry an inner resilience that can be activated and drawn on when life gets hard. My job is to understand how you see yourself and how you see what is in front of you, and then work alongside you from there. I see adults navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, and substance use, as well as people looking for a

steady and nonjudgmental place to work through whatever they are carrying. If that sounds like where you are, reach out.

I specialize in working with women, parents, and individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationships, ADHD, and neurodiversity. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I provide a supportive space while helping clients challenge patterns, build confidence, strengthen boundaries, and create meaningful change.

I assist my clients to learn how to put themselves first by setting clear boundaries. We focus on finding solutions instead of dwelling on the problem.

If you've ever felt like your brain works a little differently — constantly moving, questioning, or feeling things more deeply than you know what to do with — you're not alone, and you're in the right place. I work with children, teenagers, and young adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and the pressures that come with just trying to figure life out. Many of my clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of self-doubt and exhaustion. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know that what you're experiencing makes sense — and things really can get better.

I have worked in many different areas from school age children to the elderly. I bring with me the skills and experiences to my therapy practice. I can help your start your journey and explore the hard truths

As a child of immigrants, I have seen how hard it may be to navigate different cultures and identities in America. I also have first hand experience navigating three cultures and acculturation issues throughout my life, I have seen how lonely it may feel to have trauma related to cultures and family of origin. Coming from several cultures is a privilege but can also be a challenge. I have seen how these struggles can be hard for both children and adults and can cause stress, trauma, depression, and anxiety among other concerns. I work with you using several different therapy techniques to identify ways to navigate the challenges
