Welcome to my page!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice in Westport, Connecticut. I specialize in treating clients struggling with addictions, coming-of-age, transitional, and relationship issues, along with co-occurring anxiety and depression.

I grew up in a suburb of Chicago, moving to the East Coast for high school, and have lived in Denver, New York City, and Connecticut. I played lacrosse and hockey at the collegiate level and learned many valuable life lessons from these sports experiences.

After completing my undergraduate studies at the University of Connecticut, I worked in sales, and as a disability advocate. Through these experiences, I found my calling and went back to school. I received my clinical degree from Columbia University’s School of Social Work, and completed internships at New York Presbyterian Hospital (Weill Cornell), and also at Weston United (supportive housing for people with persistent/severe mental illness). I have also worked at the Epilepsy Foundation of Metropolitan New York, Integrated Wellness Group (individual/couple/family therapies), and MCCA (outpatient substance abuse).

My treatment approach is tailored to each individual client’s needs, utilizing psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, strengths-based/solutions focused, and mindfulness therapy models.

In life, sometimes we meet with hard transitions, Deep conflicts, and stressful relationships. In the midst of these, we can feel overwhelmed, lost, and alone. Often, a fear of taking risks will inhibit our ability to make a positive change. Together, we will develop a strategy for you to overcome, adapt, and flourish, in the face of adversity.

In a collaborative partnership, we will work through your struggles and take steps towards creating an improved future. you will feel more calm, centered, and confident in yourself.

We will focus on letting go of negative patterns of thought and behavior that hold you back from your full potential. As your therapist, I will help you recognize your strengths, find personal acceptance and self-knowledge, and create powerful strategies to cope with life's challenges.
