I believe therapy should feel deeply supportive, thoughtfully challenging, and grounded in real connection. My approach is warm, collaborative, insight-oriented, and practical — with room for humor, honesty, and the complexity of being human.

For nearly two decades, I’ve worked extensively with women navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, major life transitions, pregnancy and postpartum experiences, miscarriage and reproductive loss, abortion experiences, burnout, and the emotional weight of caring for everyone else while losing connection with themselves.

My work blends relational therapy, mindfulness, and somatic approaches including Brainspotting and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to help clients move beyond survival mode and create meaningful, lasting change. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level coping — it is about understanding yourself more deeply, healing old patterns, and building a life that feels more grounded, connected, and sustainable.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University and have been licensed since 2006. I currently work with clients throughout CT, AZ, FL, MA, NJ, NY, and CA.

Outside of my practice, I’m happiest near the Connecticut shoreline with a good book, something creative in progress, and my dog and cat nearby.

This document may change as I learn more and grown.  I am committed to the necessary work of anti-racism in myself, my community, and my work.  I do come from generations of white privilege, which was unearned & contributes to the roots of racism in this country.

I am happy to discuss the steps I am taking with you to become anti-racist, including recognizing it in myself and addressing it immediately.  Racism, oppression, and microaggressions exist everywhere, and they exist in the world of therapy. 

Therapy needs to do better, and I need to do better.  Systemic racism impacts our humanity, and when we "other", we effectively dehumanize people in order to stay in a system that allows white people, and myself as a white woman, to flourish on this unequal ground. 

I am committed to understanding the intersectionality of ableism, racism, sizeism, sexism, homophobia, & transphobia and the therapeutic environment.  Racism and hate has no place in an environment designed for healing, and I welcome discussing how anti-racism can impact therapy.

Here are just a few ways I am addressing my lifelong journey of antiracism:

*Supporting BIPOC small businesses of all kinds

*Engaging in my own therapeutic supervision designed to educate and dismantle structural racism within my work and myself

*Participate in ongoing trainings and workshops in antiracism & allyship

*Donate to causes that support racial equality, social justice and systemic change

*Engage in and welcome challenges that promote my growth in this area

*Hold myself and colleagues accountable when racism is occuring 

I hope this is helpful and useful, and I actively stand against racism, hate, and intolerance in all its forms.  Please let me know if you have questions or wish to discuss this more.This document may change as I learn more and grown.  I am committed to the necessary work of anti-racism in myself, my community, and my work.  I do come from generations of white privilege, which was unearned & contributes to the roots of racism in this country.
