Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Waterbury, CT


I believe that meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and supported. My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals and families can explore challenges, build on their strengths, and move toward positive change.

I hold both a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Social Work and have over five years of experience working directly with children and families. My professional background includes supporting children and caregivers through emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns, while collaborating with families to strengthen communication, coping skills, and overall well-being.

In addition to my work with children and families, I also have several years of experience supporting older adults, including assisting individuals and families with long-term care planning. This work has given me a deep appreciation for the emotional, practical, and relational challenges that can arise during later life transitions, caregiving roles, and decision-making processes.

I am passionate about supporting clients across the lifespan and helping individuals and families navigate change with greater clarity, resilience, and connection.

Therapy should be as unique as the individual seeking it—what works for one person may not work for another. I provide a relaxed, welcoming environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. My approach is grounded in attachment theory and psychodynamic therapy, meaning I help clients uncover how past relationships and experiences shape their current patterns, behaviors, and emotional well-being

Thank you so much for looking at my profile. I'm a Social Worker with over 20 years experience treatment children, adolescents, young adults, parents/caregivers, and adults. I have honored to help my clients travel their individual paths in order to feel better about their worlds. Helping people identity what is stopping them from reaching their goals and breaking down these barriers drives my work.

I've been trained in various treatment options but I know it all comes back to the relationship we build together. As your therapist, I hope to provide you with support, strategies and gentle though direct, feedback and reflection. And most likely there will be some humor thrown in because sometimes the work we will do together needs it!

Hi there!

I look forward to working with adults, of all ages, to optimize sleep or taking action steps towards engaging with the life you want to live. My areas of focus are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and Behavioral Activation.

I received my Master's of Social Work from Syracuse University in 2016. My experience branches outside of traditional clinical work to include:

  • Working in community education around types of dementia through the Alzheimer's Association
  • Training and employment through the VA providing hospital social work with spinal cord injuries and disorders, including end of life support, and crisis intervention.

I have since worked as a therapist both in the VA and community through primary care clinics, serving adults across all life phases.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fairfield

Finding a therapist in Fairfield starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types include licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Fairfield County is home to many mental health providers, but narrowing your options can still feel time-consuming. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), someone with experience in couples or family therapy, or a provider who offers virtual sessions so you can fit appointments around a busy schedule. A free phone consultation is another way to gauge fit before committing to ongoing care.

Therapy in Fairfield can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see your estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
