You’re going back to school and worried that those feelings will resurface. You’re exhausted knowing that you’ll be juggling school, work and home life. Could it be ADHD, depression, or anxiety? You want to feel good again and get back to your hobbies without feeling overwhelmed. It might seem like a lot right now, but you just want to be heard. If you’re struggling with balancing life and want to find peace of mind, I hear you and I’d love to help.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Connecticut with a passion for working with kids 4 and up and their families. I have experience working with kids, teens and young adults who have been exposed to all levels of trauma. I work with individuals of all ages to treat ADHD, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

My Approach: 

I can help you identify your strengths as an individual to help you overcome difficulties related to stress and trauma. I offer CBT techniques to clients of all ages to help overcome life stressors. I use art and play therapy to help kids express their feelings and fears, and I work with parents to create structure and strategies that help take the pressure off of family life.

Does insurance cover the cost of therapy sessions?

I take Husky/Medicaid, Cigna/Evernorth, Anthem BCBS, Aetna, and United/Optum/Connecticare. I will also work with your out of network (OON) benefits and offer a sliding scale.
