REPRODUCTIVE MENTAL HEALTH THERAPIST & OWNER
(SHE / HER / HERS)
Hello!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Connecticut with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Saint Joseph. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based strategies, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed principles. I believe therapy should feel like a space where all parts of your experience are welcome—where healing can happen through both practical support and meaningful self-understanding.
Midway through my graduate program studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I decided to toss in another life goal: starting a family. I was introduced to perinatal counseling through my own experiences with pregnancy loss and later with postpartum anxiety and sensory overwhelm. As a first-time mother in May of 2020, I was tasked with protecting and nourishing a newborn while headlines spouted “unprecedented times,” “social distancing,” and “novel virus” on repeat. Life as a new parent was already an unprecedented journey; it just so happened that the world was asking the same question on a different scale: What now?
The pandemic amplified an isolation that existed in the postpartum sphere long before social distancing. I am grateful that perinatal therapy was there to support me and am deeply committed to advocating for and supporting women through this chapter of life.
I leaned into the perinatal specialty through a perfect storm of personal experience, clinical training, and an enduring passion for women’s health. Along the way, I became a volunteer Support Coordinator with the Postpartum Support International Connecticut Chapter and later completed PSI’s advanced training in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders as well as the Resolve Through Sharing Perinatal Bereavement Training.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: we are not meant to navigate life’s most transformative seasons alone. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they make sense of what they’re carrying, strengthen their support systems, and move toward this next chapter with greater steadiness and confidence.

A therapist and…
A passionate list-maker, a flower pressing enthusiast, and a dedicated memory keeper. I live in Central Connecticut with my husband and two sons. When I’m claiming some "me time," you can usually find me crafting and when the family's in tow, you’ll find us cycling down Main Street or venturing toward the mountains.
