I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves and working toward meaningful change. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, valued, and understood, and I am deeply committed to advocating for individuals who are often overlooked or dismissed.
I take a person-centered approach, helping clients explore their identity and navigate life’s challenges in a way that feels empowering and authentic. Because I recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, I also integrate techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based modalities to meet each client where they are. My therapeutic style is warm and welcoming, while also incorporating gentle challenges and new perspectives to support growth. In our work together, we may engage in talk therapy, build coping skills, and use creative metaphors to make complex or overwhelming experiences feel more manageable.
I have experience working with individuals facing incarceration, addiction, complex medical conditions, serious mental illness, gender identity exploration, custody-related concerns, and intimate partner violence. My background includes working with children involved with DCF, individuals on parole or probation, those who are currently or formerly incarcerated, survivors of domestic violence, and people navigating substance use challenges.
Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter, and our cat, Wasabi.
If you are looking for a caring and encouraging therapist to help you navigate life’s challenges, I would be honored to support you.
