Great to meet you!

I am licensed in Connecticut with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I specialize in depression, substance use disorders, disabilities, multicultural perspectives, couples counseling, college/career counseling, and life transitions. With my technology background working as a Lead Training Coordinator in a SaaS startup, I also bring years of experience from the field of workplace and occupational wellness.

What you can expect from our first session

Whether you're navigating difficult transitions, wrestling with past traumas, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, please know that you don't have to face these struggles alone. As someone who utilizes a trauma-informed perspective, I understand the importance of patience, kindness, and being an active listener for my clients.
