PLEASE NOTE. WE WILL HAVE OUR FIRST APPOINTMENT VIRTUALLY, FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENTS WILL BE DISCUSSED. HI! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CT. I have been in the mental health field for 15 years and a practicing therapist for 8 years!

Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session will be a vibe check! We'll explore your previous relationship with therapy or any support methods you've tried. We'll talk about what you are looking for from myself and therapy. I'll fill you in on my philosophies and beliefs as a human and therapist... and we'll go from there! - You are not stuck with me. I think therapy is like dating, sometimes you hit it off and other times you have to take a little more time to find the right fit.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My ability to hold space. I am very proud of proving my clients the safest space they've ever been in! My understanding and compassionate nature allows my clients to be themselves and share things with me that most people in their life don't know. I'm laid back, flexible and go with the flow. You know what you need, I'm here to help you find it. I believe you are the expert on your life, I’m the expert on therapy and us working together is a dynamic duo!
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
A perfect match for me is a person ready to try something different, even if they are a little scared. Someone that likes a nontraditional and nonjudgmental approach. A person that wants some help in learning how to let go and feel all the things! A person that can laugh at themselves and take a little sarcasm. Someone that just wants to be the best version of themselves and needs a little nudge. Someone that's ready to take the lead on their healing journey while I help guide them. Life transitions, school related stressors, communication, boundaries, anxiety related symptoms, depression related symptoms, ADHD behaviors, parenting, processing trauma are all aspects of your healing journey I’m ready to support today!

VirtualMy treatment methods
Family Therapy
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I view individuals within the context of their relationships and broader systems. I have extensive experience facilitating family therapy sessions that focus on improving communication, resolving conflict, and strengthening emotional bonds. In my practice, I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach—whether working with couples, parent-child relationships, or entire families—to help each member feel heard, understood, and empowered to contribute to healthier dynamics.
Psychoeducation
I firmly believe in empowering my clients to understand their behaviors based on their diagnosis. I use psychoeducation, which is, providing information and education about mental health, emotions, and relationship dynamics—as a tool to empower clients with knowledge that supports their healing. By helping clients understand how their thoughts, behaviors, and family systems interact, they can make more informed choices. I often incorporate psychoeducation to teach coping skills, explain diagnoses, and support family members in understanding one another’s experiences, fostering growth both inside and outside of sessions.
Trauma Informed Care
Safety is a priority! I practice trauma-informed care by creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel empowered and in control of their healing process. This approach recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and emphasizes trust, collaboration, and sensitivity to triggers. I integrate trauma-informed principles into all aspects of treatment—whether working with individuals, couples, or families—by honoring each client’s story, pacing therapy thoughtfully, and focusing on building resilience and emotional safety.
Strength-Based
You have everything you need inside you right now. I use a strengths-based approach to help clients recognize and build on the resilience, skills, and resources they already possess. Rather than focusing solely on problems, I highlight what’s working and explore how those strengths can support growth and healing. This method empowers individuals, couples, and families to feel more capable and confident as they navigate life’s challenges.
