About me

Life can present us with challenging situations that may feel overwhelming at times. It’s completely normal to feel burdened when facing these challenges alone. For many, the thought of opening up to friends and family can be daunting. That’s why I’m here—I aim to create a warm and welcoming environment where you can comfortably share your story. I am a licensed professional counselor based in Connecticut, with twelve years of experience working with clients from all walks of life. I enjoy connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and age groups. Being culturally sensitive is important to me, and I appreciate learning about my clients’ unique cultures. I have had the privilege of helping individuals tackle various challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family issues, and self-esteem struggles. My goal is to work together with you to build better coping skills for life's ups and downs, ultimately improving your overall well-being. My approach combines humanistic therapy, DBT, and cognitive behavioral therapy with a person-centered touch, making our time together feel supportive and personal. I am excited to take this journey with you!
