- LICSW, LCSW
I'm a licensed therapist serving Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. I also specialize in obsessive-compulsive patterns and phobias.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique experience. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what's weighing on you and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey. My role is to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and support you in building insight and resilience. Whether you're facing a specific struggle or seeking support through a difficult transition, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and care.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to be part of your healing process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
