I am a licensed psychologist with 14 years of experience based in Connecticut. I have experience working across settings, including community clinics and schools, before starting private practice. I am a compassionate and solution-focused psychologist deeply dedicated to helping my clients navigate life's challenges. I believe in focusing on the strengths of my clients and empowering them to develop practical strategies and coping mechanisms that promote lasting positive change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I create a nonjudgemental, safe environment where we can begin by exploring what brings you to therapy—what’s been on your mind and what your goals for treatment are. I’ll share my approach and how we might collaborate together to help you meet these goals. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions or express any concerns as we start to develop our therapeutic partnership.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am an empathetic listener and a compassionate, thoughtful and creative practitioner.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love helping clients identify their strengths and resources while also developing new skills they can use to address stressors and challenging situations.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a structured, evidence-based approach to help individuals manage a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress-related disorders, and more. CBT is grounded in the idea that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are closely interconnected. By identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns, we can shift emotional responses and develop healthier, more adaptive behaviors.
Trauma Informed Care
Using trauma-informed care, I support clients in developing practical skills to navigate life with greater resilience. Together, we work on strengthening emotional regulation, so clients can feel more in control of their responses rather than overwhelmed by them. We explore grounding techniques, mindfulness practices, and healthy coping strategies tailored to each person's needs and experiences.
