I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and Psychology, and a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, both from Southern Connecticut State University. Depending on your desired goals, I use a variety of developmentally based systems therapies to examine learned behaviors and communication styles so you can choose more of what works for you and less of what does not.  I draw from emotionally focused family therapy, attachment theory, and interpersonal neurobiology to promote healthy rewarding relationships, restore and improve meaningful connection, and access resilience in your life. Identifying areas of development where needs were poorly met, I will help you use reparative therapies to reshape, heal, and repair the past, revealing and exploring your unique personhood, purpose, and meaning. 

I chose the field of marriage and family therapy for its focus on systems theory, examining how a system impacts an individual as well as how the individual affects the system.  My experience includes assisting couples to navigate life’s changes, such as the birth of a new child, developing age-appropriate parenting styles, repairing breakdowns in communication, and addressing intimacy incongruencies. I also have experience in co-parenting mediation and counseling, as well as facilitating parent education programs and premarital counseling. 

My therapeutic goal is to help you answer your own “miracle question”: if you woke tomorrow and your life felt right and your own, what would be new and different? In therapy, we will work on understanding that question and developing strategies for making your vision a reality. Solution-focused and strategic family therapies provide a blueprint for regaining control of one’s life. Whether the identified goals are long-term or short-term, focusing on potential solutions and self-efficacy can help achieve them. When so many variables in life are beyond our control, regaining confidence in our abilities and strengths can help create a desired future.

A Little More About Me

When not with clients, I can be found digging for worms with my two boys, ages three and eight. I love planting, propagating, and tending to my many plants, as well as creating new sourdough recipes. I have a deep passion for exploring new places and cultures, including cuisine. When not in the garden or kitchen, I can be found thrifting at Goodwill with a true crime podcast in my earbuds.
