I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years experience helping people navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, and life transitions. My style is supportive, practical, and real; I believe humor and a little bit of sarcasm can sometimes help make tough conversations easier while we work toward meaningful change. Therapy should feel approachable, honest, and focus on real life growth.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering telehealth therapy for adolescents, adults, and families in Connecticut. I'm passionate about helping others overcome struggles, realize their true potential, and build the lives they've always dreamed of. My practice focuses on helping individuals and families work through a wide range of mental health, behavioral, and/or substance use issues. My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and culturally competent. Starting therapy doesn't mean something is "wrong" with you. Rather, it highlights your desire for progress. My strengths-based approach begins with recognizing that your decision to seek support is a strength in itself. Meaningful change begins with investing in yourself; my approach is designed to make that investment worthwhile - collaboratively working to equip you with the insight, skills, and confidence to create positive, lasting change. Taking the first step towards change can feel scary, but you don't have to do it alone!

My name is Lucy and I look forward to working with you on your wellness journey. I believe that therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted for who you are. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. Together, we’ll work to better understand what you’re experiencing, identify patterns that may be getting in the way, and develop practical tools that you can use in your everyday life. I believe therapy isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about helping you better understand yourself and feel more confident in how you respond to life’s challenges.

Life Transitions

I’m a licensed psychotherapist working with adults who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsettled beneath the surface. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, self-doubt, or persistent patterns they can’t quite untangle on their own.
My style is thoughtful, steady, and insight-oriented. I integrate practical tools for emotional regulation with deeper exploration of relational patterns and attachment dynamics. I believe therapy should feel both grounding and meaningful — a place where you can slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and begin shifting patterns that no longer serve you.
Clients often describe me as calm, direct, and attuned. I aim to create a space that feels safe enough for honesty and structured enough for real change. My work focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but on building emotional clarity, stability, and more secure ways of relating — to others and to yourself.

I'm a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Practitioner (PMH-C) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a wide range of expertise. I am a mom of 3 and still learning! It's busy and comes with sacrifices and challenges but fun and filled with opportunities to connect that many of us cannot slow down our lives to cue in on.
If you are pregnant, struggling to become pregnant or have given birth and are postpartum, I specialize in helping you through various aspects of this season of receiving. Some themes I see and work with: Life transitions, co-parenting styles/romantic relationships and attachment & bonding w/baby, comparison to others, expectations vs. reality. Some of my patients go through IVF, or are pregnant but feeling off and want to monitor their mental health and prepare a birthing plan. I mostly work closely with women trying to work through things like, breast feeding struggles, NICU trauma, OCD w/ intrusive scary thoughts, mood swings yup-even postpartum rage, traumatic birth experiences and even negative experiences with medical teams causing peri-partum onset of symptoms typically based in anxiety. Just meeting with me is a support, safe space and outlet for you to regain momentum, feel more energized and often I see patients begin to know and experience HOPE.

I’m a warm, insight-oriented therapist who offers a steady, compassionate space for adults navigating grief, relational wounds, and the impact of growing up around emotional chaos or inconsistency. My approach is grounded in deep listening and curiosity—I help clients slow down and make sense of their inner experience, uncovering patterns that may have once been protective but now feel limiting. Together, we create room for new ways of relating—to yourself, to others, and to your story. Healing, in my work, begins with being deeply seen and understood.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
