I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of CT. I have 18 years of experience in the field. I work with an 18 + population and have dedicated my career to helping those with substance use disorders lead healthier lives. I also specialize in helping those with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders develop coping skills that will better their quality of life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first sessions is a get to know each other moment where they get to see my style of therapy and I get to learn about them as a person not just the reason they sought therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am compassionate, non judgmental, honest, and humorous. We are all in the same boat trying to navigate this thing called life together.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work well with clients who like direct feedback and honesty in sessions. Folks over 30 who are currently dealing with life transitions and struggling to make decisions on their next steps seem to get unstuck during our sessions together.
