Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy. Please note, I do not provide couple or family therapy services on insurance as these forms of therapy are not recognized by insurances. If you'd like couple or family services, I provide out of network services and can also provide a sliding scale based on your income/ genuine financial need.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in West Hartford

Searching for therapists in West Hartford starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches it. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that connect to your goals, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling in West Hartford. A therapist’s profile can also show what their sessions are like and whether their style fits how you prefer to communicate.

West Hartford has local options across areas like Blue Back Square, Elmwood, and nearby Hartford, but appointment times and specialty fit may vary. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond offices close to home while still keeping care with a therapist licensed in Connecticut. As you narrow your options, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers times that fit your schedule, provides in-person or virtual sessions, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare approach, experience, and communication style in one place.

Therapy in West Hartford can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs after your benefits are verified, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in West Hartford, review profiles, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
