As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Therapist in EMDR, I specialize in working with individuals, couples and their families who experience psychological and emotional trauma and PTSD. I work with diverse populations experiencing trauma and a wide range of trauma-informed mental health diagnoses (e.g., anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, chronic pain and eating disorders) as well as those affected by community disasters. I utilize modalities such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems, structural and strategic therapy and the Metaframeworks perspective. Since trauma affects most people at some point in their lives, comes in all shapes and sizes, can be the cause of many other mental health issues, and often threatens our safety and emotional integrity, I feel that it is critical to offer my clients the best quality assessment/treatment. I offer my clients hope and healing and the ability to flourish. Having published and presented on trauma, and as a clinician at St. Vincent's Behavioral Services, Intensive Outpatient in Bridgeport, Fairfield Counseling Services, Collaborative Counseling Group and as a Visiting Professor in the MFT department at Fairfield University, I bring to my practice both a diverse clinical and research expertise.

You know your kid is struggling, but so are you. She’s not a bad kid, but she wears you out. The school thinks she needs discipline and testing, but you feel like maybe she just needs help adjusting to life. Every time she gets in trouble at school by fighting or disrespecting adults, you wonder what you did wrong and how can you ever fix what’s broken before it’s too late. You’re losing your patience, but you also want to yell at everyone to just leave her alone; she’s still so little and she’s been through so much. You’re really trying. I hear you and I want to help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Connecticut with a passion for working with kids 4 and up and their families. I have experience working with kids who have been exposed to all levels of trauma, as well as with individuals of all ages to treat eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

You're incredibly self-aware, but still, feel stuck no matter what you do. You’ve read books, listened to podcasts, and tried 101 breathing techniques, but you’re still struggling. You try to rationalize with yourself that it's in the past. You're left feeling (still) anxious and on top of it all, discouraged. You've endured trauma that you’ve worked hard to lock away and forget. Though, it’s seeping through the cracks and infiltrating your everyday life. You’re resourceful, determined, and love a good challenge so you’ve tried to mend things on your own…to self-heal. Yet, none of it is working...you're ready for a change.

Someone once said, "The decision to ask for help is not easy and requires courage."

If you are ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and healing, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can begin the process of unraveling the complexities of your emotions, building resilience, and cultivating a deeper understanding of yourself.
