Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Fairfield University graduate. I work with teens, young adults, older adults on a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem and coping with stress.

My approach to therapy

My approach is supportive and compassionate, providing a safe space to explore challenges, gain clarity and build practical skills to live a more balanced life. Together we can work towards growth, resilience, and emotional well-being.

What you can expect from me

In our first session I will focus on getting to know you, understanding your goals and creating a plan that works for you. You can expect a supportive, compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges and start building tools for growth and balance.
