”Another day, another doctor's appointment. I swear, I should start a frequent flyer program with all the time I spend in waiting rooms. And yet, despite the countless visits, it feels like I'm stuck in Groundhog Day, repeating the same script over and over again.

You'd think by now I'd be used to the raised eyebrows and skeptical looks, but it still stings every time. "It's all in your head," they say, with that infuriatingly patronizing smile. Oh, sure, because I love spending my days curled up in pain, just for kicks.

The worst part? It's not just the doctors. It's the little voice in my head that starts whispering, "Maybe they're right." Maybe I am just imagining it all, maybe I'm not really in this much pain. But then reality hits like a ton of bricks, and I'm reminded that no amount of denial can make it go away."

But hey, amidst all the frustration and doubt, there's a stubborn little flame of hope flickering in the darkness. I think talking to someone might help.”

I also love working with young adults coming from challenging family dynamics who are trying to venture out into life on your own; I can help you with setting boundaries, navigating difficult family dynamics, and improving your sense of self after walking on eggshells around a parent who may have been emotionally volatile.

It can be a really difficult decision to start therapy. You want to feel understood and like you’re getting somewhere, and you really don’t want to be judged yet again. I would love to hear your story and help you sort things out.

My Approach: 

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor at Beehive Counseling & Wellness. I use CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches to work with adults of all ages and from every gender, orientation, and identity and I am able to write letters in support of gender-affirming care. I especially love my work with people struggling with chronic pain or other health issues - I can help you empower yourself to deal with medical judgment and gaslighting.

If you would like to connect, please reach out! I look forward to meeting you!

Does insurance cover the cost of therapy sessions? 

I work with clients with Husky/Medicaid, Anthem BCBS, United/Optum/Connecticare/Oxford, Aetna and Cigna. I will also work with your OON benefits and offer a sliding scale. I practice in our Manchester CT office and offer teletherapy.
