If you are seeking therapy, you have already been working so hard! It's time to try something different. I practice a therapy focusing on mindful awareness and living in the present; fully and peacefully experiencing life. As a result, clients experience symptom reduction and improvement in functioning. This therapy emphasizes values, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, living in the present moment, and accessing a transcendent sense of self. This practice can often help people who have been unsuccessful with therapy in the past, have had a return of symptoms after repeated therapy, or are reluctant to engage in the therapeutic process. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and The Gottman Method, I am skilled at a variety of strategies to find a customized approach to meet your individual or relationship needs. Many people find relief from anger, anxiety, depression, substance or food cravings, and improved communication and connection in their relationships through this process. They also develop an improved relationship with themselves and an increased sense of peace and well-being. My aim is to provide you strategic tools that will allow you to quickly and permanently assist you in changing how you experience your circumstances and stressors, as well as improve your interactions with others. I look forward to working with you!

Paths traveled in life are rarely the straight and narrow. We often encounter twisted roads, bumpy roads, and dead ends. These distractions are just what they are, distractions from getting us to our true destinations. We often need that extra push of encouragement, that new set of directions or even just a moment to regroup, regather, recommit and push forth. Its a normal part of life to face obstacles and we often underestimate our ability to overcome the challenges faced. Maybe you are dealing with conflicts with your significant other, teenaged children, financial struggles, all of this can make depression/anxiety/trauma harder. Maybe you have experienced trauma in your life that you have repressed and you feel as if it is resurfacing and impacting your ability to be the best partner, parent or even person that you can be. If you goal is to partner with a therapist and pull from within, the best you that you can be. I am that therapist for you. I have worked with many individuals over the years who have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. For them life’s challenges were bigger than they were and intensified their depression and anxiety. I spent a great deal of time listening and doing some reflection with them. Through reflection they saw and approached life challenges differently.

Honesty. Vulnerability. Courage. If you're reading this right now, you're likely seeking positive change in your life. It takes someone truly honest with themselves to reach out when they need help. It takes vulnerability to talk about it. It takes courage to follow through. Sometimes we feel stuck in life and come to a bridge we must cross. Are you looking for a therapist who is real, genuine, & can guide you across? With over 10 years of mental health experience & advanced training in IFS, anxiety, trauma & mindfulness, I've developed a compassionate & personalized approach to therapy. Ending stigma around mental health is my passion. I empower individuals to transform their pain into strength, addressing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and other challenges. I draw from evidence-based therapies like CBT, IFS, DBT, & mindfulness to guide them in discovering their unique path to healing & growth.

Understanding the importance of attentively listening and empowering through the delivery of strength-based, impactful and supportive services is essential to the therapeutic process. I have spent over 15 years developing my skill set with the goal of providing quality care/services to every child and family I encounter. My compassion and love for “the work” is what has driven me to seek an advanced degree in Social Work at the University of Southern California. I graduated from Eastern CT State University with a bachelor’s degree in social work as well as completing my Master of Social Work Degree at Springfield College. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential in order to lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we cannot change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges. By applying evidence-based therapeutic approaches and techniques, we will discover long-standing behavior patterns and/or negative perceptions that may be interfering with your ability to experience a more fulfilling and meaningful life. With compassion and understanding, I provide a personalized approach tailored to help children/youth, couples, or family’s build on their strengths and attain the growth they are committed to accomplishing. In our time together, we will develop realistic coping strategies that we can utilize when feeling distressed. My clinical expertise and abilities are in bipolar disorders, depressive and anxiety disorders, grief and loss, self-esteem/self-image challenges, social anxiety, anger management, relationship challenges, work/life balance and stress reduction. In addition, I am able to work with Victims of Crime (assault, intimate partner violence, sexual assault) to address immediate crisis challenges and issues around Post Traumatic Stress.
