Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut with more than 10 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, stress, conflict, and postpartum transitions. I understand that life can feel overwhelming when your mind won't slow down, relationships become difficult, or a major life change leaves you feeling unlike yourself. My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can feel safe being yourself. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Together, we'll identify what's contributing to your stress, explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools that fit your daily life. Whether you're adjusting to new parenthood, managing anxiety, working through relationship concerns, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, I'm here to support you. My hope is that you'll leave our sessions feeling more grounded, confident, and equipped to handle life's challenges with greater balance and resilience.
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. I'll ask questions about what brought you to therapy, your personal history, and what you'd like to accomplish through our work together. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable—there's no expectation to tell your entire story right away. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you while beginning to identify your goals and discuss how we can work together to help you feel better. My priority is to create a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable, supported, and understood from the very beginning.
I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can openly share your thoughts and experiences without fear of criticism. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. Together, we'll build practical coping strategies, strengthen your confidence, increase your self-understanding, and develop tools you can use outside of therapy. I believe lasting growth happens one step at a time, and I'll support you throughout that journey with encouragement, empathy, and practical guidance.
I enjoy working with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or the emotional adjustments that come with major life transitions, including the postpartum period. Many of my clients are juggling multiple responsibilities while trying to care for themselves and others, leaving them feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure where to begin. Together, we'll explore what's weighing on you, identify patterns that may be contributing to your struggles, and create realistic strategies to help you feel calmer, more confident, and more like yourself again. My goal is to help you build resilience, strengthen your relationships, and create a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and manageable.

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 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.
