Introduction

From the outside, it may look like you’re holding everything together. Inside, though, you might feel anxious, overextended, or unsure how much longer you can keep going without something changing. I specialize in working with thoughtful, high-functioning clients—many navigating transitions such as starting college, becoming a parent, managing burnout, or rethinking relationships and career paths. I began my career as a school counselor, a foundation that continues to shape my work with empathy, perspective, and insight. Today, I provide virtual therapy across Connecticut, drawing from CBT, self-compassion, and strength-based approaches to help you clarify what matters, set healthier boundaries, and cultivate resilience and confidence as you move forward.
