About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Connecticut. I hold a master’s degree in Counseling from Cambridge College and have over 13 years of experience in coaching, advising, and counseling. My therapeutic approach is rooted in a holistic perspective, combining evidence-based practices from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral (DBT), Mindfulness, & trauma focused. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
At times, we can become stuck in old habits, patterns, and fears that do not serve us anymore and get in the way of authentic and meaningful connection with ourselves and others, keeping us from feeling inner peace and happiness. Using a holistic, client-centered, and collaborative counseling approach, I will support you to skillfully navigate through the suffering and difficulties that life brings, and connect with your resiliency for emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you with the next step in your healing journey.
I consider it an absolute privilege when someone allows me to be a part of their process. My intention is to bring warmth, compassion, intuition, truth-telling and optimism to each session. My desire is to help every client reconnect to their true authenticity and be in complete alignment within their lives.
