Grief counselors and therapists in Waterbury, CT

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.

We are designed for movement . What IS movement ? I have devoted over 35 years to helping others go to the next step: allowing movement to occur. Movement can be as nuanced and magnificent as a shift ! With my experience and expertise as a Theatre Movement Specialist I support people to employ their intelligence of mind and body, and when ready, to let go of “the stuck” and experience change. I bring a holistic approach to the human existence through examination of meaning, personal responsibility , values, freedom , human potential, spirituality and self actualization.

If you are interested in a mind-body-spirit approach and are ready get to the heart of your challenges in order to make positive steps forward, we may be a good fit. I am a Licensed Counselor with specialized training in a transpersonal psychology approach called Psychosynthesis, which emphasizes both logical and intuitive problem-solving, among other aspects. Intuitive development is one of my specialties, and I share intuitive insights in the therapy session as well as provide support and encouragement for my clients to use their intuitive awareness as well. I work best with individuals wanting a holistic approach to counseling, which includes one's spiritual beliefs and support. Dream work, mindfulness, body awareness, and expressive art are specialties of mine as well. I integrated CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy) with the holistic approaches, catering the sessions to my clients needs. My goal is to empower my clients to activate their natural healing instincts to grow and thrive.

Life can sometimes feel heavy, confusing, or simply different than you expected. There are moments when we feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or unsure of what comes next. Therapy can offer a place to pause, breathe, and feel supported without judgment.

I believe you deserve a space where you can be yourself, tell your story, and feel genuinely heard. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I meet you where you are and work alongside you to better understand what you're experiencing, build on the strengths you already have, and find ways to move forward.

Whether you are working through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to walk through it alone.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to advocating for my clients and providing a supportive, therapeutic space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. My background includes extensive work in crisis settings as well as experience supporting individuals impacted by sexual assault, trauma, ADHD, and autism. I also have a strong foundation in navigating complex family dynamics.

I approach therapy with compassion, collaboration, and respect for every person’s unique needs and experiences. My goal is to help you feel empowered, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, sustainable change at a pace that feels right for you.

In therapy with me you will find that I emphasize acceptance of emotions, reframing negative thinking, and offering self-grace. I try to help you dig deeper to get the root issue that is causing you to be different than the way you want to be.

We are talking about you and your life, things that matter so I am open and non-judging, relaxed, and very real.
