Counseling Clinicians in Fairfield, Connecticut

My expertise is helping adolescents, young adults, and adults struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, or substance use disorders. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and EMDR therapy. Having worked in psychiatric hospitals, school, residential treatment programs, intensive outpatient programs, and private practice, I am prepared to help you face and overcome any issues compromising your quality of life. I am dedicated to helping you through your challenges and passionate about offering an environment that is safe, supportive, and free of judgment. I have worked for eighteen years in the field of mental health and in addition to the issues above, have experience with impulse control, anger management, life transitions, and interpersonal relationships. I am in recovery from substance abuse and am passionate about getting you on the path to recovery and healing.

My education includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Southern New Hampshire and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Bridgeport. I have about 10 years of experience working in urban agencies, substance abuse clinics, and private practice helping clients who have experienced trauma, substance abuse, and domestic violence as well as depression and anxiety. I believe each person is the “expert” on themselves and it is my job to help them find the tools that will work for them. My approach is holistic and includes evidence-based interventions including EMDR, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. I approach each client with an open mind and an open heart and believe it is this human connection that fosters healing.
