I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in the state of Connecticut with 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, college-age students and young adults. My goal of my therapy sessions, is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore their challenges, develop coping strategies, and cultivate personal change. I use a diverse range of evidence-based modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused brief therapy.
I aim to empower individuals to navigate their personal and emotional journeys. I specialize in Anxiety Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Gender Dysphoria.
Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or navigating identity issues, I am dedicated to walking alongside you on your path to self-discovery and emotional well-being. Together, we can work towards fostering personal insight, enhancing self-esteem, and unlocking your potential. I hope you reach out today!
