I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut. I specialize in working with adults and teenagers who may be struggling with symptoms of: trauma, anxiety, stress, depression and ADHD. Using a holistic approach, I work with clients compassionately and respectfully to help clients achieve peace and balance in their lives. I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Mason University and have been seeing clients since 2020.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I know that starting therapy (maybe for the first time) can be stressful for some, and building trust can take time. In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then explore the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions together. If this is your first time trying therapy, rest assured that in the first session, I can answer any questions you may have about the process.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

With a compassionate approach, utilizing researched-based treatment methods and creating a tailored treatment plan, I have seen previous clients find peace from past trauma, reach their goals with increased motivation, and navigate life stressors with coping skills outside of session. I believe restoring balance and healing is possible.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with open-minded individuals who are motivated to make a change in their lives, but are not exactly sure of the next step and might be feeling stuck. You are in the right place. I specialize in treating those who are thinking about finding peace from past trauma.

My treatment methods

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-informed & researched-backed trauma treatment intervention. This method is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories using guided eye movements. I received my EMDR Training in 2022 from EMDR Institute.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness techniques such as meditation and breathing exercises can help lower feelings of distress, increase feelings of peace and bring us back into the present moment.

Trauma Informed Care

Clients' wellness and comfort level are always on the forefront of my mind. I ensure that clients feel that they have an active role in their treatment and are comfortable with the interventions used.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing can be a helpful approach for clients who would like to find more motivation to complete goals and tasks.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems can be a helpful way to "un-blend" with emotions and get to know ourselves more deeply by becoming welcoming and curious to parts of ourselves.
