Description: 555 Highland Ave. Cheshire, CT 06410 As a therapist, I help individuals and couples develop and maintain healthy, meaningful, fulfilling relationships. I believe so strongly in the power of therapy; it is an experience unlike any other. It allows you to share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns with another person who cares about you, means well by you but does not have any stake in your life - it is liberating and extremely empowering.

I believe so strongly in the power of therapy; it is an experience unlike any other. It allows you to share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns with another person who cares about you, means well by you but does not have any stake in your life - it is liberating and extremely empowering.
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker. I strive to make clients feel comfortable and understood in a way they often haven’t before. I am warm, engaging and relatable and take great interest in my clients and their stories. My clients describe me as someone who genuinely cares, is easy to talk to, and goes above and beyond to create positive outcomes for them.
I was trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and received my Master of Social Work degree through Smith College School for Social Work in Northampton, MA. I continued my training with a post-graduate fellowship in psychosocial rehabilitation through the Department of Veteran’s Affairs and Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, CT. I have since worked as a therapist in various healthcare settings throughout Connecticut.
