Unlock Your Full Potential

There is a trendy saying; “Every therapist has a story that led them to desire to help others.”  My story began during my early childhood, which led me to pursue a Master of Science in Human Services with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. This allowed me to gain 10+ years of experience in human services as a Social Worker and Investigator for the Department of Children and Families. I have worked with families challenged in various areas, including domestic and intimate partner violence, and as a Victim's Advocate for Family Relations through the Court-Based Services program with Prudence Crandall Center, Inc. 

My journey with DCF also included supporting parents in overcoming obstacles that became barriers to providing adequate parenting. I was inspired by this career path to becoming an adoptive parent, which gives me a greater understanding and empathy needed to be entirely present for a child during a difficult adjustment. 

In addition to my work with DCF, my role as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor has allowed me to understand how mental health can impact success with employment. As a Trauma-informed therapist, I believe a holistic approach to counseling can bring tremendous value to mental health treatment. Therefore, I utilize various therapeutic techniques, including incorporating Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and others that best meet the individual’s needs. 

My holistic counseling approach also offers individuals a space to incorporate faith in their therapeutic and healing journey using Faith-Based Counseling.
