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’m 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 unique child/parent therapy approach that not only addresses behavioral and emotional issues but also empowers parents with practical strategies to create positive change in the family dynamic. 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. If you’re ready to take the next step toward positive change for yourself or your family, I’m here to help.
In our first session, we’ll take some time to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask about your experiences or any challenges you’re facing, and we’ll discuss your goals for therapy. This is a relaxed, judgment-free space where you can share at your own pace. Together, we’ll start building a plan that fits your needs and helps you feel more in control. For families participating in child/parent sessions, we’ll also focus on understanding your child’s behavioral and emotional concerns. I’ll work with you to explore effective strategies for parenting and supporting your child’s growth. Our goal is to create a supportive environment that promotes positive change for both your child and family as a whole.
One of my greatest strengths is helping young people develop practical, real-world skills that make a difference in their daily lives. Whether it’s managing anxiety, improving focus, or strengthening executive functioning, I focus on teaching tools that clients can use right away. My approach is hands-on and tailored, so every strategy fits the individual’s unique needs and lifestyle. Additionally, I work with young children and their parents through child/parent therapy sessions to address behavioral and emotional concerns. I also offer parenting coaching to equip caregivers with effective strategies that support their child’s growth and enhance family dynamics. My comprehensive, individualized approach ensures that my clients gain meaningful, lasting tools for positive change.
