It's how you grow from your past that defines who you are in life. You may feel alone, misunderstood, and unfulfilled with your life or personal relationships. Perhaps you have intense negative emotions. People typically enter therapy when they are in distress, although it's usually the long-term and underlying struggles that concern them the most.
Initially, we will work quickly to address your immediate pain and provide relief. As therapy progresses, our focus may shift, so you develop more positive and enriching relationships with yourself and others. As a therapist, my therapeutic approach focuses on the interpersonal dynamics that impact your daily experience. Using evidenced-based psychotherapy interventions, we work together to help you become unstuck from depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and intense negative emotions.
In therapy, we look for the behaviors, attitudes, and patterns that protected us in the past but no longer served a purpose. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and compassionate environment for clients in Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts who are seeking support as they navigate life's challenges.

I view psychotherapy as a meaningful engagement between an individual and therapist to facilitate a positive life change as determined by the client.
My approach to therapy focuses on how interpersonal relationships impact your daily functioning, focusing specifically on how we emotionally/physically move towards and away from others.
Our life experiences and our worldview shape our behavior, thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
We work together to improve your overall well-being by using interpersonal and humanistic psychotherapy approaches.

I specialize in working with people across the lifespan.
My primary focus is working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety (school and/or sport related), and relationship & phase of life issues.
My attitude is one of respect and acceptance of each client's world-view allowing for the creation of a safe, therapeutic environment.
Child and Adolescent therapy may focus on behavioral or emotional regulation.
As a child and through adolescents your emotional awareness is developing.

People enter therapy for a variety of reasons and many exit and re-enter therapy over and over again.
I find these people are searching for a meaningful experience.
Whatever the reason you may have, I'd like to share a little about my approach so you can decide if we are a good fit.
I try to observe closely what you are saying and not saying in a session.
I freely provide feedback sometimes in a tentatively manner and other times more forcefully.
I encourage you to reflect on what I say in our session, decide if it rings true for you, and provide feedback.

There is a view out there that you must "know yourself first" before seeking a life partner.
This view is somewhat unrealistic and may prevent someone from entering a lasting relationship because we are always evolving and developing.
Humans are naturally social beings and if you look around you'll notice the pursuit of love is something that we still hold dear.
We all enter into relationships with some sort of "baggage."
Although we are imperfect beings, we are capable of learning what we bring to a relationship.

We are told college is supposed to be the "best time of your life."
However, for many students college is filled with anxiety, self-doubt, fear of missing out (FOMO), and fear for the future.
Whether you are an incoming first year student or graduating at the end of the semester, college is a time of many transitions.
Navigating this road can become a daunting task.
The safety of home is no longer present and many feel overwhelmed with making major life decisions.
I provide therapy for college students who are interested in learning more about themselves.
