As a licensed therapist in Connecticut, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding human resilience, with specialized expertise in addressing stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and personal growth.
I am dedicated to helping clients navigate emotional landscapes, whether they're struggling with social anxiety, feeling isolated, or seeking deeper self-understanding. My therapeutic practice centers on creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore communication challenges, develop self-love, and rediscover their sense of life purpose.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
