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.
