You don’t have to have it all figured out—but you don’t have to stay stuck, either. My job is to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity, intention, and tools that actually work.
About
I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a client-centered approach to help people untangle unhelpful thought patterns, reconnect with their strengths, and make meaningful progress. My sessions tend to feel more like conversations than checklists. I’m collaborative and grounded, with just the right mix of patience and gentle push. I want you to feel safe, seen, and supported every step of the way.
​
What’s shaped me most as a therapist is the road I’ve walked myself. I was born and raised in Hartford, so I understand grit from the inside out. Serving in the military gave me the chance to experience different cultures, communities, and ways of thinking and those experiences helped deepen my empathy and strengthen my ability to hold space for others. They made me resilient, curious, and driven to do this work with integrity.
​
Clients often say they appreciate my honesty (no fluff) and my ability to celebrate the small wins. Those moments when you realize you’re thinking differently, responding differently, or finally moving in a way that feels like you. That’s the good stuff.
​
Outside of therapy, I’m a DIY lover, a data lover, and a big karaoke fan. I wind down with a good book or a soak in the jacuzzi. I’m also a lifelong learner and an investor. I genuinely believe that personal growth and financial growth can (and should) go hand in hand.
