***In-person openings for CT residents*** Therapy can and should be an enriching place to safely begin the process of healing and growth.

While we cannot predict our future, we can be present in the journey. My goal is to help clients feel empowered by their work in therapy, obtain personal growth, awareness, and fulfillment, and ultimately lead a more balanced, peaceful, and rewarding life however that may look to each person.

I am a well versed therapist with a passion for treating individuals of all ages from various backgrounds. Empowering my client(s) is something that I am unwaveringly committed to. I understand this can only be possible by allowing two-way candid, transparent, & relatable moments. Before there can be any rebuilding and client empowerment, it is often crucial that my client(s) and I form a strong connection in the beginning. I am a firm believer that getting to know my client outside of the therapeutic process; will better facilitate any accommodations needed in future sessions. A trusting space allows for vulnerable conversations.

Choosing me as your therapist means embarking on a journey toward creating your best life. In our sessions, my goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and validated.

Our collaborative efforts will build your confidence, empowering you to achieve your goals and attain emotional well-being through effective, short-term therapy with long-lasting results.

Everyone experiences challenges. Sometimes we can overcome these challenges on our own, but at times we may benefit from extra support. Whatever you're going through is personal to you and the way you experience challenges is unique. I prioritize a positive relationship between client and therapist - without this, we're unlikely to feel comfortable addressing personal topics and challenges. With this foundation, we can explore how factors like childhood experiences, trauma and present day circumstances might inform the way we approach life.

Are you looking for something different? Do you need a place to let it all out? I'm all about creating a cozy, welcoming space where you can kick back and explore your mental health journey. Best part? You can do it all from home through telehealth—whether that's early morning or late evening, on your couch or in your kitchen. I tailor therapy to fit you. Whether you're wrestling with anxiety, feeling the weight of depression, dealing with post-partum blues, or working through tough trauma, I've got your back. My approach mixes different therapy styles to match your unique needs and goals.

Are you struggling, feel lost or uncertain about which direction you are going in life. We all go through things in life that have caused us to feel sadness, anxiety and even hopelessness about the future. It is "ok" to accept help and support through difficult times. It is also "ok" to not be "ok" all the time and this is where I can help you through this process. I believe that when a person is struggling from past and/or present issues and they feel like no one hears them or understands, it can become very debilitating in everyday life. I will listen and guide you through the process of healing through your struggles.

We are living in a time which may create feelings of anxiety, isolation, sadness, or being overwhelmed or "not yourself".

I work with women around perinatal mental health, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, low self-esteem, and life stage adjustment. As a certified EMDR therapist, I'll support you through the healing process by meeting you where you are and engaging your strengths.
