Working with me means you’ll have a therapist who is both straightforward and supportive. I’m not the type to just sit back and nod, I want you to leave our sessions with something useful you can actually apply to your everyday life. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m warm, approachable, and honest, but also that I bring a little humor and creativity into the process. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership. I’ll meet you where you are without judgment, and I’ll also challenge you when it’s needed, because growth happens outside of our comfort zone. Whether we’re working through grief, relationship struggles, or just the stress of daily life, I’ll help you find clarity, perspective, and practical ways to move forward. It’s also important to know that I value authenticity. I bring my full self into the room, and I encourage you to do the same. I want you to feel safe, understood, and also empowered to experiment, grow, and discover new possibilities for yourself.
I am committed to providing empathetic treatment that progresses at your pace. We will work together collaboratively to identify goals and make a plan to achieve them. It is important for me to provide you with a warm and genuine experience in therapy in order to feel comfortable and not judged. My passion as a therapist is to help facilitate your healing and personal growth.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, my goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment to work through any problems you may be facing. I received my master's in marriage and family therapy from Hofstra University after completing a graduate degree in psychology in education from Teachers College, Columbia University. I’m trained in therapy modalities for individuals, couples, and families. I have specialty areas in couples therapy, anger management, chronic andor terminal illnesses, as well as grief. Couples, revive your love, rediscover each other, and work through your differences. Learn to not only hear, but to listen to each other. Therapy is a chance to rebuild, rediscover, and move forward with new relationship knowledge. I take a client-centered approach and work with you to address your areas of concern.
It is my sacred honor to help people with their deepest and most personal issues: their ancient wounds, in their lives within and without; their deepest hopes and fears, dreams and longings, and the blocks that interfere with creating their lives and finding and birthing their Selves. It saddens me deeply to see our world being offered "quick fixes," "bandaids," and "get over it" or "transcend it" philosophies for dealing with life's deepest wounds and traumas. It saddens me to see people being offered symptom "management" instead of real healing -- managing thoughts, feelings, and more -- leaving the real wound beneath the symptom, beneath the surface to continue to haunt them in their lives. It saddens me to see our world encouraging people to repeat as adults what they did as children - repress their feelings and find defenses to keep them away. For children, this is sanity- and life-saving. For adults, this is society degrading feeling and keeping us emotionally stuck, emotionally unmatured. For adults, this is society working against our healing, our growing, our transforming, our becoming all we can be. It saddens me to see us go 'round and 'round the vicious cycle of cause and effect when we leave our own individual wounds unhealed -- deeply affecting the state of our world and our country -- and then when the state of our world and country, in turn, triggers those same unhealed wounds within us. I bring to clients a message of lasting healing, healing to the root. I help people find and claim their own wounds, commit themselves to the real work of healing inside and out, work at their organic rhythm and pace to build their capacity to feel, and more. I also help people recognize the link between their individual healing and the healing of our planet. With a passion for safety and for healing to the root, I am committed to helping heal and transform our world one-by-one and on a global scale.
I provide psychological services to help children and parents lead meaningful and vibrant lives. Disruptive behaviors, changes in the family structure, traumatic experiences, and developmental issues are some of many challenges families are faced with. Whether the school work has become too challenging, the behaviors seem unmanageable, you are concerned about your childs academic, social, or emotional development, or you are finding it difficult to sustain a healthy and enjoyable relationship with your child, services I provide can assist you. Those challenges are often accompanied with worry and concern as your child matures to a new stage of development and their needs change. Parents are faced with decisions on how to discipline, manage, and foster your childs physical, social, and emotional well-being. I offer individual, parent-child (dyadic), group, and individual parent consultations services are available to those seeking support, guidance, and meaning to what is taking place within themselves, their child, or their family.

Living in Orange offers many advantages, from its charming small-town atmosphere to its proximity to New Haven's resources and Yale University. The community's blend of suburban tranquility and academic energy creates a unique environment for residents.
However, like residents throughout Connecticut, Orange community members face their share of mental health challenges. Whether you're managing work stress from commuting to nearby corporate centers, navigating family dynamics, or dealing with seasonal changes that affect mood, professional support can make a meaningful difference.

Orange residents often seek therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, work-life balance issues, and trauma recovery. The pressures of maintaining Connecticut's high standard of living, combined with the region's competitive academic and professional environment, can contribute to stress and burnout.
The area's seasonal patterns also play a role in mental health. Connecticut's cold, snowy winters and humid summers can affect mood and energy levels, while the beautiful fall foliage and spring renewal offer natural opportunities for reflection and growth. Many Orange residents find that therapy helps them navigate these seasonal transitions more effectively.
Orange therapists use several proven approaches to help clients achieve their mental health goals. Each method offers unique benefits, and the right fit depends on your specific needs and preferences.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other challenges. This evidence-based approach is particularly effective for professionals dealing with workplace stress or students managing academic pressure.
Solution-Focused therapy emphasizes building on your existing strengths and resources to create positive change. This approach works well for individuals navigating life transitions or seeking to improve relationships.
Psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious patterns and past experiences that influence current behavior. This deeper approach can be valuable for understanding recurring relationship patterns or addressing long-standing emotional difficulties.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. This approach is especially helpful for individuals dealing with mood regulation challenges or interpersonal conflicts.
Interpersonal therapy focuses on improving communication patterns and relationship dynamics. This method is particularly beneficial for couples, families, or individuals struggling with social connections.
