Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) from Connecticut. I received my Masters degree from the University of Nebraska- Lincoln, and have been practicing for over 20 years. I have experience across all age groups, and have also been working in the field of education for the past 15 years.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will discuss what issues you would like to address as we meet. We will also talk about your current life, and look at your systems of support and your stressors.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am very compassionate, and encourage clients to feel relaxed and safe in our counseling space. I offer varying perspectives to consider as we work through your topics of concern.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the relationship between our thoughts and our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. Adjusting our thinking can often times allow us to our emotional and physical health, as well as our interpersonal relationships and self-esteem.
Humanistic
By focusing on our strengths and ability to adjust our thinking, a Humanistic approach puts your own abilities center stage to help yourself and realize your personal potential.
