I believe every individual possesses an innate inner healing intelligence, much like the body’s ability to mend a cut or bruise. I apply this same principle to the mind, where psychological wounds may arise from trauma in its many forms. In a supportive, compassionate, and safe space, this inner healing intelligence can flourish and profound transformation can occur. My role is not to serve as the expert, but as an ally on your personal journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery.

Guided by a trauma-informed lens, I integrate somatic-based practices, mindfulness practices, IFS–informed work, CBT, DBT, attachment-based approaches, solution-focused strategies, and coherence therapy–informed interventions. I have also completed professional training in the therapeutic use of ketamine for mental health treatment.

I look forward to building a professional relationship grounded in trust, openness, and curiosity—one that supports you in moving toward wholeness of mind, body, and spirit.

I deeply believe that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for change. When we feel safe, understood, and valued, we can begin to heal and grow in meaningful ways. My clients often have experienced trauma, addictions, or life transitions that have been challenging. Drawing on interpersonal neurobiology, I help clients understand and release emotion from their body, offering coping skills and education along the way. I recognize that each person is unique, and I work to tailor our sessions to your specific needs, goals, and experiences pulling from a variety of evidenced based practices.

My clients experience a blend of many interventions based on their needs. I assist my clients with nurturing the mind, body, and spirit through mindfulness-based stress reduction, polyvagal, CBT, DBT, IFS informed, and attachment based interventions. I also specialize in sexuality and gender issues as well as individuals on the Autism Spectrum.

As I stated, I value the therapeutic relationship first and foremost. Please feel free to contact me via email or phone to set up a free 20 minute consult to determine if I am the right fit for your needs.

Taking the first step toward support can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make that step feel a little lighter. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) in Connecticut, I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. I also provide an affirming, inclusive space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I work with adults and later teens. I often use Socratic questioning to help you explore your thoughts, challenge unhelpful patterns, and discover new perspectives. My practice is a judgment-free zone.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based care. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Reality Therapy. I am Level I trained to practice IFS, and I understand the value of “parts” work.

Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership — one where you feel supported, understood, and empowered. Whether you’re seeking relief from symptoms or striving for personal growth, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you.
