Anxiety is a normal part of our internal mental health. Yet, anxiety that becomes physically or mentally overwhelming or interferes with our normal daily life can be distressing, uncomfortable and isolating. My role is to provide a space that promotes healing and self- discovery at a pace that is comfortable and set by the individual in front of me.

I have years of experience working with:

• Generalized Anxiety Disorders

• Depression

• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

• Post -Traumatic Stress Disorder

• Grief and Loss

• Excoriation and Trichotillomania

I’m trained in Cognitive behavioral therapy which focuses on challenging distortions of thoughts or behaviors, addressing emotional dysregulation and developing goals and strategies to improve one’s level of functioning. I also rely on my trainings in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, psychodynamic, person centered and mindfulness therapies.

My counseling approach is rooted in curiosity and understanding with a small edge of Northeast humor and wit. Growing up in Connecticut, I received my Master’s Degree from the University of Connecticut and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

During my free time I enjoy hiking with husband and my dog Cooper, spending time with children and playing Pickleball.
