About Me I’m a licensed psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience supporting clients through challenging interpersonal and health journeys. My practice focuses on the mental health needs of women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. along with actors and others in the performing arts. Supporting Women Through Infertility I help women navigate the emotional challenges of infertility and assisted reproductive technology. Since 2013, I’ve supported clients in processing reproductive grief, healing from birth trauma, and feeling empowered on their journey to motherhood. Obesity Recovery and Bariatric Support I support clients through pre- and post-bariatric surgery care, GLP-1 treatments (Ozempic, Mounjaro), and lifestyle-based interventions. Together, we manage the emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges that often accompany weight-related health changes. Supporting Actors and Performing Artists Performers face unique pressures, including impostor syndrome, body image expectations, rejection, irregular schedules, substance use risks, and relationship challenges. I help actors and creatives build resilience, navigate stress, and develop healthy coping strategies to thrive personally and professionally. Dating and Relationship Support Whether navigating dating, long-term partnerships, or complex relational patterns, I help clients build stronger communication skills, set healthy boundaries, manage conflict, and create fulfilling connections. My work addresses both the emotional and behavioral aspects of relationships, helping clients feel more confident and grounded in their personal lives. My Approach My therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and strengths-based. I use evidence-based practices like CBT, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and relapse prevention to help clients reduce distress, build coping skills, and achieve meaningful change. Culture, family, and community are central to understanding your journey, and my goal is to help you recognize and harness your own strengths. When I’m not working with clients, I love cheering on UCONN Huskies basketball, getting lost in a good book, exploring new places, crafting, and spending time with my family, friends, and our two furry companions.
