I am a graduate of the University of Bridgeport, CT with a Master of Science degree in Counseling. I also have a certificate as a school counselor from West Chester University, I have 30 years of experience counseling children, teens, adults, and seniors, I’ve helped people navigate ADHD, anxiety, careers, grief, life transitions, periods of emotional uncertainty and social skills with compassion and clarity. Many are looking for a space where they feel genuinely understood, valued, and encouraged to take meaningful steps forward. What sets me apart is my ability to meet people where they are, blending practical tools with warmth and real-life perspective to support lasting personal growth.

Using a blend of cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused & strength-based techniques, through compassionate conversation, I help clients build resilience, gain insight, and develop tools they can use in daily life.
