I am a therapist who supports individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. I take a collaborative, client-centered approach that prioritizes your lived experience and personal goals. I aim to provide a supportive, culturally responsive space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. Together, we work toward building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating meaningful change that fits your life. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 5 years of experience, I have worked with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, as well as families and couples. These experiences have strengthened my ability to meet clients where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs and goals.

Therapy I feel is a chance to learn and shift patterns in our lives. Relationships are a key part of life but are difficult on many levels and we learn the way that we communicate with other from our experience. Learning and understanding that experience can help us make the changes that we would like to see in life. I believe in having an open space free from judgement were people can explore who they are and learn how to use that to change their lives and their relationships with others. I work with people from all different perspectives and believe that we are the products of our experience and that we can find ways to change the patterns that are not helpful for us. Communication is key in relationships but it is something that we have trouble with but are not always aware of the impact. Learning patterns, identifying the meaning that we put to our experiences and seeing our strengths are ways that allow us to become the person that we want to be without losing who we are.

My approach is mindfulness-based and focuses on cultivating a person-centered environment where all are heard and seen. I draw from strength-based and relational cultural theories to provide an honest space through conversation to empower others. Navigating through life’s obstacles and immersing into your inner self, strengths and build meaningful connections. I provide compassionate support and fostering meaningful connections with my clients. I believe in the power of compassion and collaboration, and I’m here to support you every step of the way on your path to emotional well-being and personal growth.

From an early age, I discovered a strong passion for helping others. During high school, I was deeply influenced by my favorite teacher, a student of renowned psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg, best known for his theory on the stages of moral development. Her mentorship inspired me to pursue a career in the helping professions, where I could make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. I went on to earn my undergraduate degree in Human Services with a minor in Gerontology, laying the foundation for a career focused on compassion, advocacy, and evidence-based practice. Over the years, I have specialized in working with individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma, including emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. In my clinical work, I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT), and supportive counseling. My approach is grounded in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to fostering resilience and personal growth.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Connecticut. I received my Master of Social Work degree from Springfield College and I am a UCONN undergraduate alumni.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been practicing for over 18 years. In my clinical opinion, all therapeutic approaches come from a place of strength, validation and compassion. In my work, I focus on the concerns you feel comfortable sharing while validating your experiences, creating a compassionate and safe space which allows you to effect change and move past pain, loss, trauma and regret. I aim to teach you that the present moment is truly the gift we have, even if it doesn't always feel that way. Our past is behind us, it can neither hurt us any longer nor be changed. We do not know the future, it is not yet visible. Attempting to prepare for what is to come or holding tight to what is no more, takes us away from the present, the moments we have right now, preventing us from embracing the life we dream of. Old messages, hurts and grief often keep us stuck, holding onto a past that will always be a part of who we are, but in no way defines us. We are not "what" we have endured, rather it is the "what" which forged our strengths, awareness and resilience. The story we create is not written by anyone other than ourselves. The truth in life is that we are all good as we are, right now, in this moment. And the beauty in life is that we can grow to be better, no matter what we may have been told, witnessed or lived. You matter, your journey matters, your recovery is what you decide, what you want and I am proud to be a partner to you in this. Even if you select another therapist, remember you are worth it, always.
