New to Grow
At the heart of my practice is the idea that "we're all walking each other home." This guides how I show up with clients—as a fellow traveler who is committed to creating a space where you are safe, supported, and valued. I have extensive experience in grief and loss, whether from the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a beloved animal companion. I also have experience working with individuals living with acute or chronic illness, as well as with those recovering from addiction or substance use disorder. Additionally, I support caregivers with their own unique challenges.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other, discussing what brings you to therapy, exploring your goals, and reviewing your history so we can begin developing a collaborative plan for your care.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in authenticity. I honor your lived experience and bring a calm, nonjudgmental presence to help you navigate whatever road you’re on—whether it’s one of grief, recovery, change, or rediscovery. I am currently in network with several insurance providers and am accepting new clients in Connecticut and Texas.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Death Doula with many years of experience supporting individuals and loved ones in a clinical oncology setting, I have walked alongside people during life’s most vulnerable and transformative moments. This work has deepened my belief in the power of human or animal connection and presence in our most defining times.
Trauma Informed Care
I have experience providing trauma-informed care by creating a safe, empathetic therapeutic environment that recognizes the impact of trauma, supports client empowerment, and integrates evidence-based practices to promote healing and resilience.
Attachment-based
I have experience utilizing attachment-based treatments by helping clients explore early relational patterns, strengthen secure connections, and develop healthier emotional regulation and interpersonal relationships within a supportive therapeutic framework.
Couples Counseling
I have experience providing couples counseling by helping partners improve communication, navigate conflict, deepen emotional understanding, and strengthen their relationship through evidence-based, collaborative therapeutic approaches.
Grief Therapy
I have experience providing grief counseling by supporting clients through the complex emotional process of loss, helping them process their grief, build coping strategies, and find meaning while adjusting to life after loss or anticipatory loss.
Narrative
I have experience using narrative therapy to help clients externalize problems, explore the meanings they assign to their experiences, and re-author personal narratives in ways that support resilience, agency, and personal growth.
