I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly two decades of experience walking alongside people through some of life's most challenging moments. My career has taken me across multiple systems — child welfare, medical social work, vocational rehabilitation, and community mental health — and what I have carried through all of it is a deep belief that every person has the capacity for growth and healing, regardless of where they are starting from. I bring a warm, direct, and grounded presence to my work. I am not the kind of therapist who sits back and says very little- I am engaged, I ask questions, and I genuinely invest in understanding your world. At the same time, I know that the pace and direction of this work belong to you. My role is to walk alongside you, not ahead of you. I am particularly passionate about working with young adults navigating the complexities of early adulthood, as well as individuals from communities that have traditionally had limited access to culturally responsive mental health care. I understand that taking the step to reach out for support is not always easy, and I don't take lightly the trust it takes to sit across from someone and say 'I need help. Whether you are coming in with a specific goal in mind or you simply know that something needs to change and you are not quite sure where to start-I am here for that conversation

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.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Connecticut rather than a city like Hartford?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Connecticut. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Connecticut from New Haven to Springfield! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Connecticut.

Will my therapist take Medicaid?

Yes! If you use Medicaid you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Medicaid you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

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.
