I believe therapy should be a collaborative, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, trauma, or feelings of being stuck, I am here to help. I have been providing mental health care to clients of all ages and identities for 30 years.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when life already feels heavy. Many clients come in feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious, stuck in unhealthy patterns, struggling in relationships, or trying to manage everything on their own. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, process what’s going on, and feel genuinely supported without judgment.

You deserve to feel heard, supported, and understood—and if you’re here, you’ve already taken a meaningful step toward change.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree from the University of Connecticut, specializing in mental health and substance use. I’ve worked with teens, adults, and families across a range of settings, including outpatient clinics, schools, home-based care, and virtual therapy.

I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, identity exploration, relationship stress, and major life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own.

My approach is collaborative, direct when helpful, and grounded in compassion. I use evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care, but I tailor therapy to what actually fits your life—not just a model. We focus on what’s showing up for you right now, while also working toward longer-term stability and change.

Therapy with me is not about judgment or perfection. It’s a space to slow things down, understand what’s driving stress or emotional pain, and build practical tools that help you feel more steady and in control of your day-to-day life.
