There are times when we all need a helping hand to support us during difficult times. As a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student under supervision, I will be here to genuinely listen, and work alongside you to promote your wellness based on your needs. I’ve worked for 11 years in the mental health field with children, adolescents, and adults struggling to cope with trauma, behavioral issues, familial and relational conflicts, anxiety, depression, peer relationships, loss, and more. I also have 6 years experience working with adolescents on the Autism spectrum providing ABA based therapy.

Life is stressful, sometimes overwhelming. Having a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings is central to the healing process. I believe meaningful personal and emotional growth occurs when you feel understood and accepted. My goal is to empathetically listen, explore and collaborate with you on your journey towards healing.

Hello, I am so glad you are here. Let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Whether you are here for yourself or your child, you have already taken the first step to focus on your mental health. Many people see therapy as a one-sided, rigid conversation with little to no ability to see each other as real people. I can promise you that is not what I offer. Starting therapy can be a challenging and anxiety-inducing task; that is where I come in. Take a moment, maybe a deep breath, and reach out to me to see how I can help.

Hello you! congratulations on taking your very first steps in searching for a therapist, as this is the beginning of that first great step.

Master's degree in Social work from Sacred Heart University. I possess over 20 years of experience working in the field. I have experience working with people who are formerly incarcerated, homeless, transgender, substance abuse, women and children, domestic violence, and people experiencing trauma.

Feeling overwhelmed by life's stresses? You're not alone. Let's navigate this journey together and empower you to thrive.

Emotions are human and universal. The way in which emotions are experienced are unique and vary from person to person. Intense emotions and life situations often leave people feeling alone and isolated in a world full of people. Asking for help is the most difficult task and takes an enormous amount of strength. My goal is to help you reach your goals, find ways to express emotions, manage thoughts and feel supported every step of the way.

Life is full of stressors, and these stressors probably got more complicated by surrounding crisis like the pandemic. YOU are not the only one; you are not alone in this. Help is always there for those who seek it. You could have anxiety or you could have gone through traumatic experience, and going through grief. You could be struggling with substance use, or have unmet goals of yours. I hope that you know the real value of counseling therapy. Although it has been recognized as a treatment for those who truly need it, it is also the road to learn how to cope with the points and situations we struggle with during our daily lives.

When seeking help, we first need the safety and security of warmth and acceptance. In our vulnerability, we need our integrity and our pain validated and respected. We need an integration of healing that includes mind. body, and soul. Together, we set clear and achievable goals. In an atmosphere of mutual trust, there is the challenge and support, the laughter and the tears involved in struggling to reach the self-direction, independence, and the peace we seek. The skills developed to survive are the foundation on which healing is built. Individuals and families are meant to move beyond survival and claim their right to thrive.

These are very stressful times, and life can be so very hard with different challenges that we face over the years. Adults deserve a place where they feel welcomed to sort through their feelings, whether it be related to past trauma or current challenges. Families need a place to work through their struggles and not feel that they are alone in dealing with problems that can arise while raising children, to create healthy communication, and healing in their family. Children and teens may feel like coming to therapy means they are different, so its important that everyone who comes to therapy feels welcome and heard.

I have been in practice for over 20 years working in a variety of treatment settings. I enjoy working with individuals and families from all walks of life.

What if, instead of managing or running away from your suffering, you could heal the wounds at the core of it to the root? I have helped people do just this in my decades of work as depth psychotherapist, workshop leader, author, and speaker. In addition to working one-to-one with clients, I use my writing and speaking to help people understand how our own wounds and healing affect our world’s wounds and healing. Along with my first book, “Power Abused, Power Healed,” I recently published a new book, “How Did We Get Here?” exploring the real roots of the heart-breaking condition of our world, and how we can help heal those roots.
