I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut. Over the last twenty years, I have enjoyed working with children and families in out-patient and school settings and with adults who were struggling with significant mental health concerns as a Partial Hospitalization Program Coordinator and Group Leader. I have experience working with a diverse range of ages and backgrounds, and I often pull from different therapy modalities, tailoring to the unique needs and learning styles for the individual.

I see myself as a partner, working alongside people to help them find their own path. I believe the therapeutic relationship is something we build together over time, starting from the very first conversation. I work with adults 18 and older who are dealing with a wide range of challenges. What I enjoy most about being a therapist is helping people reach their goals and learn how to handle life’s problems with confidence. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship and family issues. My approach is flexible and focused on building people up, highlighting strengths, and encouraging positive growth. With over 15 years of experience in the healthcare field, I’ve had the chance to use a variety of techniques and have learned firsthand what tends to work best for different people.

I provide a warm, supportive, and trauma-informed space for teens and adults working through the impact of difficult relationships and painful life experiences. This includes healing from relationships with emotionally immature or narcissistic parents, caregivers, partners, or ex-partners, as well as the confusion, self-doubt, anxiety, people-pleasing, and relationship struggles that often grow from those experiences. I work with adoptees across the lifespan as they explore identity, belonging, attachment, grief and loss, family relationships, reunification experiences, and the complex emotions that can accompany adoption. As well, I support biological and adoptive parents navigating parenting stress, attachment concerns, family transitions, and the emotional realities of caring for one's children across the lifespan. I also provide support for individuals coping with medical trauma, chronic illness, difficult healthcare experiences, and the emotional toll that medical challenges can have on daily life, relationships, and feelings of safety in the body. Therapy offers a space to better understand long-standing patterns, rebuild trust in yourself, strengthen boundaries, and develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, relational, and grounded in the belief that healing happens through feeling seen, understood, and supported without judgment.

Have you tried therapy but just didn’t get anywhere? New to therapy and not sure what to look for? Have a great life but feeling unfulfilled, having trouble navigating important relationships, or experiencing strong feelings that seem to come out of nowhere? I’ve worked with clients to explore these and similar issues in the many years I’ve provided therapy. I have an uncanny ability to gently and compassionately challenge what may be happening, often leading to insight and a new found ability to make real and lasting changes so you can focus on what matters most to you: your family, your education, your career, your mental well-being. Whether you are dealing with Relationship/friendship issues, parenting challenges, workplace issues or unresolved conflicts, I listen with an understanding ear. I help people address intense anxiety, ADHD, and mild depression even when most components in life seem to be going quite well. Sometimes things aren’t working because, well, they’re not working. My clients include people from various backgrounds and situations, from intact families to those estranged or low/no contact in family status. I see clients employed as teachers, nurses, research scientists, a dentist, a CEO, an HR executive, a cheese monger, both new and seasoned “stay-at-home” care-givers and many people studying in college, graduate programs, or obtaining post-graduate degrees. Whoever you are, from whatever background, I listen intently to your story and can help bring awareness into what may be obstacles to living a peaceful, serene, healthy life. As different as people are, I have discovered that some of our patterns and dynamics are very much the same. You don’t have to carry your emotional pain all on your own. I can help.

As a licensed Psychologist, I first prioritize learning not only why a person is contacting me, but also to be able to relate to that person based on their individual needs and what are their expectations of therapy. I believe that we all need to have a sense of purpose or meaningfulness in our lives, something that our thoughts, emotions and life experiences contribute to the "heart" of our personalities. The process of healing from the challenges of life begins with a search for truth about our beliefs, habits and relationships. Physical health is affected by our mental health through the complex interactions between the brain and bodily functions. Interventions I use in my sessions include Cognitive Therapy, CBT, DBT and ACT. As a Psychologist, I have worked in private practice, long term care, and forensic and psychiatric hospitals. Even though these patient populations are diverse, the common denominator is the human "heart". My sessions work to connect a person's sense of meaning in life to help them overcome anxiety, depression and a loss of personal identity in this complex world.

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.

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.

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.
