LPC, 3 years of experience
Are you seeking compassionate and expert support for your child or teen? Are you a young adult in college in need of support? I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Ph.D. level psychologist based in Connecticut, with specialized training from the University of Connecticut. I help young people—children, teenagers, and young adults—overcome anxiety, ADHD, behavioral and emotional challenges, and executive functioning difficulties. For young children, I offer a special child and caregiver therapy approach that supports both the child and their parents, guardians, or caregivers. This approach not only addresses behavioral and emotional challenges but also empowers the adults in the child’s life with practical strategies to create positive change within the family. For teens and young adults, I provide personalized, skills-based support designed to build confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being. My passion is guiding clients to unlock their inner strengths and develop lasting tools for a happier, healthier life. I am here to help if you are ready to take the next step toward positive change for yourself or your family.
In our first session, we will take some time to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. I will ask about your experiences and any challenges you are facing, and we will discuss your goals together. This is a relaxed, judgment-free space where you can share at your own pace. From there, we will start creating a plan that feels right for you and helps you feel more empowered and in control. For families joining in the child therapy sessions, we will focus on understanding your child’s behavioral and emotional needs. I will partner with you to explore practical strategies that support your parenting and your child’s growth. Our shared goal is to foster a nurturing and positive environment that encourages lasting, positive change for your child and your whole family.
One of my greatest strengths is helping clients learn tools to use right away. My approach is hands-on and tailored, so every strategy fits the individual’s unique needs and lifestyle. When I work with children and their parents, guardians, or caregivers through child/parent therapy sessions to address behavioral and emotional concerns, I offer effective strategies that support growth and enhance family dynamics.
I am here to support children, parents, guardians, caregivers, teens, college-aged students, and young adults (18-26 years old) in a caring and understanding space that feels safe and comfortable. Since I work exclusively through telehealth, we can connect conveniently from wherever you feel most at ease—right at home. My ideal clients are motivated young people and families ready to take on challenges, improve communication, and build lasting skills. In our work together, you will find a warm, supportive space to grow confidence, learn new tools, and create positive change that lasts. I am here to support you every step of the way if you are a young person or family eager to learn, adapt, and thrive. A Caring Note: Your safety and well-being are very important to me. If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, it is really important to seek in-person support where you can get immediate and comprehensive care. While I am glad to support many concerns through telehealth, I do not provide telehealth treatment for self-harm or suicidality. I gently encourage you to connect with local resources or providers who can offer the kind of in-person care and support you deserve during these challenging times. You are not alone, and help is available.
I use a mix of different therapy methods that fit your unique needs. Together, we will find the best tools with what you are working on in therapy.
