Let's Connect (203) 427-0397
Within my practice, we work to address anything that you feel is preventing you from living as your most authentic and self-compassionate Self. If you are carrying daily life stress, the loss of a loved one, challenges with adapting to a new life transition, deep and debilitating sadness, the burden of a traumatic experience, or even struggling to make sense of what you are feeling, I'm here to honor your reality - whatever that may be - so you can begin your healing process. With compassion and curiosity, my role is to help you nurture and strengthen that which encourages you to feel heard, liberated, and fulfilled.
In my work, I draw from a range of approaches, largely/mostly from Internal Family Systems (IFS), with additional integration of Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness, and Attachment Based Therapy. My work also incorporates a meditative and mind-body experience, as we acknowledge and get to know the feelings we carry within our bodies.
My practice is founded upon the belief that we are all human - meaning that it is natural to feel a multitude of emotions that are both unique to the individual, as well as interconnected with our relationships with others. I believe the path to healing and growth begins with connecting to one's self and the leadership already within you.
