Great to meet you!

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, so if you’re here, you’ve already taken a really meaningful first step.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with individuals, couples, and families navigating a variety of challenges. I specialize in working with addiction, couples and relationship concerns, family dynamics, autism-related support, and anxiety and depression.

My background includes working in both school systems and clinical settings, which has given me the opportunity to support people from many different backgrounds and life stages. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong passion for helping people better understand the patterns within their relationships and families.

Many of the clients I work with are trying to improve communication with a partner or family member, navigate the impact of addiction, support a loved one on the autism spectrum, or manage feelings of anxiety and depression that are affecting daily life.

No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to create a space that feels supportive, honest, and human; where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment.

Happy patient looking away

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 Stamford

Finding the right therapist in Stamford starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Common reasons people seek therapy here include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and work-related stress. Stamford's fast-paced environment and high cost of living can add pressure, and many residents benefit from working with a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with these concerns. If you're looking for medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.

Stamford is home to a diverse community, and finding a provider who understands your background can make a real difference. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a specific specialty, a preferred therapy style like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), language spoken, or whether you'd prefer virtual or in-person sessions. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in Fairfield County can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Stamford who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
