I’m delighted to see that you have taken a step towards investing in You! I will challenge you to think outside of the box. My priorities in therapy are helping clients build awareness around negative thoughts and finding the drive to build skills needed to support change. I pride myself on being empathetic, authentic, and open. I will consider your life experiences, cultural background, and values to meet you where you are. My goal is to create the most positive therapeutic relationship and open atmosphere. I am an Army Veteran, and I have a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I am also a certified transformation and life coach that empowers individuals to make and sustain positive life changes.
I help individuals who are struggling with different aspects of their lives. As a clinician, I work with individuals who are seeking mental health care for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, individuals who may have a lack of motivation, needing guidance towards self-care, and ways to become a better person in general. The motivation to begin a private practice came from years of working with many different individuals in mental health and realizing that there is not a ‘one fits all’ scenario to helping people. I wanted to reach more people in a more authentic manner.

Greetings! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who, for twenty years, has been helping others to live and lead their best lives. While my more recent work has been with Active-Duty service members and veterans, I have also worked extensively with adults of all ages in a variety of settings, such as inpatient and outpatient. I have far-reaching experience with helping people to manage addiction, process trauma and loss, cope with mental illness, and take on the challenges of everyday life. I earned my MSW and BS from the University of Utah, but I grew up in Connecticut. I hold the sanctity of the therapeutic relationship seriously and, as such, your comfort and privacy are exceptionally important to me.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut. I have over 15 years of experience in the Mental Health field and have been practicing as an LPC for the past few years. I work with adults and specialize in CPTSD and Trauma. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trained in Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems informed.
I prefer to work with individuals who are interested in EMDR and have done previous therapy.
I am passionate towards helping individuals find appropriate healing techniques, unleash their strengths, and discover their inner potential to benefit their lives positively, through emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. I empower individuals to work from within by focusing on varying approaches that are individualized to their needs. I practice with a caring, compassionate, respectable, and culturally sensitive approach; while also challenging individuals to reach their greatest potential.
I place emphasis on person-centered therapeutic approaches and believe that no single approach is right for every individual. I have been trained in other varying modalities, including trauma informed therapeutic modalities: Gestalt Therapy, Gestalt Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Active Parenting, alternative to family’s cognitive behavioral therapy, strengths-based, body centered therapy, Applied Behavioral Analysis, and therapeutic modalities utilizing art and music.
I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults in community mental health, educational resource centers for veterans & students with disabilities, residential facilities, and private practice. I also have a huge passion for and a wide array of experience working with individuals through animal assisted interventions approaches including dolphins, canines, and horses.
I also utilize a therapy dog Rex, to assist with sessions. Rex has received specialized training to become a therapy dog. He is very compassionate, affectionate, and attuned to individuals.
