WELCOME
Individual and Couples Therapy for Adults, Specializing in Anxiety, Parenting and Relational Stress
Serving all of Connecticut (Offering in person or online therapy sessions)
Most people you know would think you have your life together, you have a good marriage/relationship, a great job, happy children. Deep down, you know something is missing. You’re tired, tired of wearing a mask. No one seems to question how you really are and you often find yourself wondering who you are, what you want or how you ended up where you are. You may feel lost in many ways as and individual, feeling alone, anxious, resentful and misunderstood. In therapy together, I can help you clear the confusion, get unstuck and feel motivated to take action for something more.
What I feel most passionate about is helping anxious, yet motivated individuals gain more clarity about their goals, have the tools and feel more confident in their relationships, at work, in their businesses and with parenting or leading their families.
My practice offers both in office or (hipaa compliant) online sessions. You can choose to meet in an environment that is most conducive and comfortable to you.

In my practice, aside from my use of compassion, humor, personal and professional experience, I utilize the therapy model that best suits an individual’s presenting symptoms or disorder. As I most often treat Anxiety disorders, I tend to use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Internal Family Systems (IFS) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution focused, Strength based and Relational therapies most. I help clients build coping skills, address relational problems surrounding parenting, family conflict, transitions in life, stress and self esteem.
It’s my mission to help you stop playing small and to instead help YOU recognize your strengths and gifts while making space for yourself in this world. In the past 9 years of being a solo practitioner in my own woman owned/run private practice I have provided individual and couples therapy for residents throughout Connecticut. My office is nestled in Newington Conncecticut inside a historic brick building that once was a school house in the late 1800’s, early 1900’s.
