Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Newtown, CT

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, supported, and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, and I strive to create a space where you can show up as you are without fear of judgment. I understand that many people develop ways of coping that once helped them survive difficult experiences, even if those patterns no longer feel helpful today.

I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions using approaches such as EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I view healing as a mind-body process, and together we work to better understand your experiences, build emotional resilience, and help you reconnect with your strengths and sense of self.

My goal is not to “fix” you, but to help you feel more empowered, grounded, and capable of creating meaningful change in your life.

Welcome! I'm excited to help you overcome self-doubt, manage work-related anxiety and stress, and navigate toxic or unaffirming work/academic environments. I specialize in working with Black professional women and students struggling with these areas and have been a therapist for 15 years.
