I provide individual psychotherapy for adults and older adults, using an integrated approach. I draw from multiple traditions and frameworks, depending on the unique needs and concerns of each client over time. I have been practicing for over twenty-five years, working with people from varied backgrounds over the entire lifespan. My hope is that you feel seen and understood, challenged and supported, as you grow, change and heal. I want to provide a safe and nonjudgemental space for you to unburden yourself and find peace. My work with you is a privilege.

I have over 25 years’ experience in working with children, adolescents, and families in a variety of settings. Providing private therapeutic services to children and adolescents is a passion for me. Watching individuals learn coping skills and strategies and then apply them to their everyday life is something I look forward seeing within my clients. I currently work with clients on a variety of issues with a focus on anxiety and school-related issues.

Another area of focus for me is working directly as a school consultant in private, parochial and public school settings. I find particular satisfaction in helping students embrace the power within themselves to work through social or academic difficulties and succeed. I enjoy providing professional development to teachers and staff on a variety of topics, such as behavior management, anxiety in the classroom, ADHD education and management, as well as many other school related topics. I am constantly learning new approaches to help my clients, schools and families navigate each stage of development.

With a wide spectrum of community-based experience working with children and
families and individuals with severe mental illness, I believe change is possible
with a collaborative approach. I offer a calm, non-judgmental and respectful
environment drawing from evidence-based practice such as cognitive behavior
therapy, narrative therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.

I currently see adults of all ages, struggling with depression, anxiety, and grief. I
also welcome caregivers and partners living with someone who has severe mental
illness. Clients are welcome to make appointments at the office, virtually and in
the community, which includes in-home sessions as needed. If you have
Traditional Medicare, psychotherapy is covered and I am a contracted provider.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and also hold a Master of Divinity degree from Yale Divinity School. I have experience providing counseling services to adolescents and adults in various settings within the community and schools. In an effort to restore hope, foster healing, and strengthen resilience, I use a collaborative and compassionate approach to counseling. I enjoy helping others using strengths-based psychological concepts, as well as spiritual concepts and practices to best meet the needs of my clients. 

My therapy practice emphasizes providing emotional support and guidance to adolescents, young adults, and adults, specifically focusing on adjustment issues, significant life changes, anxiety, depression, grief, and loss. My passion is to empower clients to identify what is valuable and sacred in their lives, to enjoy a greater sense of connection and belonging, and to find meaning and purpose in their lived experiences.
