Introduction

I believe trauma isn't always what we expect it to be—it can develop whenever we feel helpless in the face of life-altering situations, whether through major past events or overwhelming present moments. As a Connecticut psychotherapist, I work with younger adults navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. I especially like supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals. If your past keeps intruding on your present, or you find yourself stuck in frustrating patterns, I'm here to help you understand what's happening and to chart a different path forward. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), I help you process difficult experiences and build practical tools for lasting change. You don't have to manage alone. I offer telehealth sessions and currently accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Connecticut, Blue Cross Blue Shield Massachusetts, Optum, and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Ohio. I'm accepting new clients and would welcome the chance to work with you.
