My approach to therapy is grounded in the importance of relationship. It is essential to me that you feel safe, validated, and appropriately challenged, and I strive to create that feeling through a genuine alliance and consistent empathy. I believe that we all have the capacity to grow, especially in an environment that is oriented around the whole person and their individual strengths, rather than just the parts we may wish to change. Through a client-centered, supportive, gentle approach, we will work together to achieve your goals. I specialize in individual therapy for adolescents and adults, with expertise in treating anxiety and depression. As a clinician, I have worked in therapeutic and public schools, helping young people identify and manage their emotions, gain coping skills, and process & address interpersonal challenges and transitions. It takes remarkable strength to look inward and challenge yourself to heal and grow. I truly enjoy joining people on this journey of empowerment, and would love to hear from you. I work at a wonderful group practice, Inner Health and Healing, in Ridgefield, CT. You may call me, email the practice, or use the contact page on our website.
