Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Fairfield, CT

Hi! I am a therapist with 7+ years of experience working with adults and teens who have experienced things like trauma, relationship issues, and "stuckness" in their daily lives. I have especially found meaning in working with TV & Film Professionals (having worked in the business for over 20 years), as well as people struggling with disconnected and/or unresponsive parents.

It can feel intimidating and stressful to initiate therapy, so congratulations - you already made the first step! By exploring and navigating new paths together, we can begin to discover possibilities and opportunities for change. Contact me for a free consultation call, and let’s start this journey together.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs—meeting you exactly where you are in your journey. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and create a path toward meaningful, lasting change.

You don’t have to have everything figured out to start—just a willingness to show up.
