For over 17 years, I have specialized in working with a wide range of clients with life transitions, work/career issues, relationship issues, parenting support, anxiety, depression, bereavement issues, stress management. In a comfortable and nurturing atmosphere, I utilize a highly personalized approach to address a person's individual needs. As a licensed professional counselor, based in Glastonbury, CT. My bachelor’s degree is from the University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!) in Psychology. Subsequently, I was employed in an analytical chemistry laboratory engaged in Diabetes Research at the Yale School of Medicine before deciding to return for advanced study. Through volunteer work, I realized I wanted to directly have an impact on others’ lives. I then studied for and received my master’s degree from Central Connecticut State University in Psychology as well as an Advanced Certificate in Counseling. Additionally, I have 12 years of experience working at a non-profit mental health and substance abuse agency where I learned and applied my education and developed many of my skills and practices in crisis intervention, prevention, group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and providing psychosocial evaluations and individual therapy.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, together we may develop a rapport and develop a safe environment for sharing of your areas of growth and presenting issues and if comfortable a background which may include social and family and education, and career, lifestyle and goals for therapy as well. Determining if we are a good fit and then planning for treatment. Resources and coping skills may be shared if open to them as well. Calming mindful practices may be incorporated as well.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked with a variety of behavioral health issues over 17 years, I have become experienced in an eclectic approach including cognitive behavioral health, mind body as well as empowering and compassionate person centered therapy. Evidence of personal growth will be assessed regularly throughout treatment and feedback and coping resources shared when appropriate.
