Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting. I am so glad you have taken this step. I work to provide a safe place to help you feel heard, understood and safe.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LICSW) in CT and MA with more than 15 years of experience treating children, adolescents, adults, and families as they navigate life’s challenges.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, I bring to the table a wide range of experiences and perspectives. I strongly believe this enables me to help individuals improve their quality of life. My first career was in business, and I am passionate about helping professionals move forward in their careers. My clinical career started in the military, where I began to understand commitment and discipline. I put all of this into my approach to Cognitive Behavior Therapy.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health.
