When we're together, the focus is on you.
But before we start, you may want to know a little more about me. 

I'm a licensed therapist based in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. I offer telehealth throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

You’ve spent years building a life that works on the outside. I’ve spent two decades mastering the tools to make sure it works on the inside. My practice is dedicated to helping people who are used to being in control but feel like they are running on fumes. If you are tired of "white-knuckling" your way through the day and are ready to stop analyzing your life and start operating with clarity, you’re in the right place.

​

I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. My work is highly integrative, drawing from a deep well of expertise, including somatic, attachment-based, and parts-work modalities. My approach is active, collaborative, and results-oriented. Think of me as a mechanic for your internal wiring. I have a massive toolbox for your emotions and brain: I don’t use every tool on every client. Instead, I use the right tool at the right time to create a custom roadmap for your nervous system. Whether we need to discharge physical tension, decode your relational blueprint, or connect with the parts of you that are stuck, I have the precision tools to help you move from survival mode to self-led clarity. We don’t just talk about the problem; we resolve the physical tension that keeps you locked in reactive patterns. My goal is simple: I want you to leave our sessions feeling clear, steady, and back in the driver’s seat of your own life.

​

I am committed to the highest level of ongoing education, ensuring I bring the most powerful, evidence-based techniques to our work. My toolkit includes:

• EMDR & Advanced Flash Technique: To clear mental clutter and emotional static without needing to re-live the past.

• Attachment-Focused Therapy: We use this to decode your relational blueprint, helping you understand how your early experiences impact your current connections so you can build stronger, more authentic relationships.

• ACT, Mindfulness & Motivational Interviewing: We use these to build psychological flexibility, clarify your goals, and remove the friction between where you are and where you want to be.

• Somatic Experiencing: We use this to reset your physical baseline. If your brain knows you’re safe but your body is still acting like there’s a fire, your nervous system is stuck in emergency mode. We use these techniques to discharge that trapped tension, stop the constant "fight or flight" signal, and help your body remember how to actually relax.

• Parts Work (IFS/TIST): We don't analyze your personality; we connect directly to the different "parts" of you: the protector, the inner critic, the one who freezes. By building a relationship with these parts, we stop the internal civil war and help you lead your life from a place of calm, unified "Self."

• SSP (Safe and Sound Protocol) & Yoga/Reiki: To support deep physiological regulation and nervous system health, holistically. 
  
  How We Work Together
  I offer in-person sessions in Old Saybrook, CT, and virtual therapy for residents of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. I also work with clients across the United States on a coaching basis. Whether we have 60 minutes to clear a block or a full-day intensive to resolve a complex pattern, we will move you out of chronic survival mode and into a grounded, steady, and connected version of yourself. If you’re ready to stop fighting your own system and start operating at your full potential, I look forward to talking with you.​
