I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut with over a decade worth of experience. I specialize in supporting people with anxiety, relationship struggles, conflict management, stress, and postpartum transitions. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your mind won’t slow down or when you don’t recognize yourself during a major life change. Together, we’ll work on practical tools for managing anxiety, navigating relationships, and finding balance after life transitions. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, understood, and confident as you move toward a life that feels more fulfilling and manageable.

Get to know me

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

We'll spend time getting to know each other. I’ll ask some questions about what’s bringing you in, your history, and what you’re hoping for. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable. There’s no pressure to tell your whole story all at once.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll build practical coping strategies, deepen self-understanding, and help you feel more confident, balanced, and equipped to navigate life's challenges at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Struggling with anxiety, stress, or postpartum adjustments? You don't have to navigate it alone. Together, we'll explore what's weighing on you, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build practical strategies to help you feel calmer, stronger, and more like yourself. My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can heal, gain confidence, and move forward with greater balance and resilience.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In our work together, we’ll gently explore the thoughts that show up automatically, especially during moments of stress, anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt. Often, these thoughts are deeply ingrained and feel like facts rather than interpretations. CBT allows us to slow down, examine them with curiosity, and consider alternative perspectives that feel more balanced and compassionate. I use CBT in a collaborative and practical way. That might include identifying patterns, challenging unhelpful thinking styles, developing coping tools, building behavioral activation strategies, or practicing new responses to old triggers. Sessions are active and goal-oriented, but always paced with care and attuned to your readiness.

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding how past experiences and relationships shape current patterns, emotions, and ways of relating. Often, the struggles we face today have roots in earlier experiences that may not be fully conscious. In our work together, we’ll explore recurring themes in your relationships, self-perception, and emotional responses with curiosity and compassion. By increasing insight and awareness, we can begin to shift long-standing patterns and create more freedom in how you experience yourself and others. This approach offers space to not just manage symptoms, but to understanding the “why” beneath them, supporting meaningful and lasting change.
