You are not alone; If you need me, I’m here to help! I provide assessment, intervention, education and coaching for children and adults with speech, language, and cognitive- communication difficulties due developmentally and/or neurologically based issues. I’ve been fortunate to have worked in a variety of settings providing me with a wide array of experiences. After 28 years of experience, I continue to love my field of work and my passion translates into providing quality care to my clients and their families. Helping individuals and their families learn, grow and become more confident and competent communicators is important.

My ideal client stands at life’s crossroads, weighed down by real struggles—trauma, addiction, or a clouded future—but still clinging to hope. They aren’t just surviving; they’re seeking to thrive, wanting guidance to break through barriers. Their needs are raw—support, a path forward. They’re ready to redefine themselves, tired of being limited by their struggles. They seek to reconnect with purpose, find strength in vulnerability, and rewrite their story. They want transformation, willing to do the hard work for lasting change, making them the perfect partner for deep, meaningful growth. They’re determined to move beyond the past

My recipe for therapy starts with three primary ingredients: a safe space, proven techniques and a plan tailored to fit each individual. Talking to a complete stranger about your struggles can be nerve wracking at first. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with your therapist. So I create a warm, accepting space, free of judgement to help support your growth.

I work collaboratively with my patients to explore the ways in which their past experiences have shaped their current relationships, both with themselves and with others. In therapy, we will pay close attention to the dynamics of our own relationship, as well as to patterns of behavior and communication that may be holding you back in other areas of your life. By developing greater self-awareness and insight into these patterns, you can begin to break free of old patterns and forge more meaningful and fulfilling connections with others.

It may be a touch melodramatic to say this yet I believe reaching out for therapy is courageous. I so enjoy my work as I am routinely deeply touched by the courage I see from clients in my office every day! Therapy here is a collaborative struggle together. It is also a very personal process as a therapist's greatest gifts usually come from her/his own

I am a former teacher who became more and more interested in social work as I observed the struggles of my students (anxiety, low self esteem, bullying etc.). I see young adults and older adults. My focus is on improving quality of life--helping reduce feelings of isolation, disconnection, constant worry, depression, relational difficulties, school problems, reactions to trauma reminders, insomnia, parenting issues and phobias. I have been trained in a number of Trauma Therapies. EMDR, ART, TF-CBT- to name a few.

Hi! I recently relocated to Ridgefield, CT after working for nearly 20 years with kids from kindergarten to college while living in Los Angeles. I became a therapist after working in college admissions and watching amazing students struggle with their mental health. Chronic stress, anxiety, depression, perfectionism takes so much energy to manage - for kids and the entire family. Imagine if all of that energy and effort was redirected towards school, hobbies, sports, friends, and family time!

Maybe you're struggling with anxiety and depression, or going through a big change in your life. When you work with a therapist that you connect with, that which you're carrying can become lighter and you can gain clarity for things that feel unclear. I'd love to help you along whatever path life has you on at this time.
