As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I founded my private practice in 2009 to provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. My practice specializes in treating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma through individual, couples, and group therapy modalities. I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and a particular interest in supporting individuals managing chronic medical conditions. Our office in Avon, CT offers a welcoming environment with private therapy rooms, complementary refreshments, and both in-person and telehealth appointment options.We serve clients across Connecticut and Vermont, with teletherapy availability extending to multiple states through the PSYPACT interstate compact.
