About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut. I have experience counseling individuals with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief, divorce, life transitions and family and personal relationship difficulties.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut. I provide a person-centered humanistic counseling approach that creates a safe place for clients to discuss their concerns, such as anxiety, depression, mood instability, substance use, and trauma. We would explore your thoughts, beliefs, emotional reactions, and family dynamics and collaborate to develop attainable goals to improve all areas of your life. I help my clients learn to identify and manage their emotions, problem-solve, set boundaries, gain confidence, and build healthy self-esteem. I have experience counseling adults experiencing a life transition due to the loss of a spouse, job, or divorce.
