Compassionate Care for Healing Trauma
Specializing in EMDR, TF-CBT, and Art Therapy, I offer a holistic, trauma-focused approach informed by Nutritional and Integrative Medicine. I am dedicated to providing a warm, reassuring space for adults and especially enjoy supporting women on their unique healing journeys.
Your Trusted Path to Trauma-Informed Care
There are times in life when we are faced with difficult circumstances, overwhelming emotions, or experiences that leave us feeling stuck. During these moments, finding clarity, healing, and relief can feel challenging, and having a compassionate guide along the way can make all the difference. At Midtown Counseling Services of CT, I hold deep respect for each individual’s innate capacity to heal and grow. My work encourages the integration of mind, body, spirit, and emotions as part of a holistic healing process.
In addition to psychotherapy, I am trained in Nutritional and Integrative Medicine and, when appropriate, incorporate these perspectives to support the whole person, recognizing the important connection between mental and physical well-being. As a practical, interactive, and solution-focused therapist, I help individuals navigate current challenges while addressing longstanding patterns, particularly those rooted in trauma.
Many clients come to therapy after feeling frustrated by repeated cycles, persistent symptoms, or limited progress through traditional talk therapy alone. My approach is integrative and tailored to each individual, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities and interventions to best support healing and meaningful change.
I practice from a person-centered, humanistic, and strengths-based perspective, creating a warm, comfortable, and confidential environment where clients feel safe to explore, heal, and move toward the personal growth they seek.

What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful therapeutic approach specifically designed to help individuals process and heal from past traumas and distressing life experiences. EMDR utilizes bilateral stimulation, often through guided eye movements, to help clients reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and allowing for healthier coping mechanisms. This evidence-based therapy aims to transform the way individuals relate to their traumatic memories, facilitating healing and fostering resilience.
In my practice, I apply EMDR therapy within a HIPAA-compliant platform that ensures confidentiality and security for each client. This allows for flexible access to EMDR therapy sessions throughout Connecticut, giving clients the convenience to engage in therapy from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Each treatment plan is tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual, taking into account their specific trauma history, personal goals, and therapeutic progress.
In addition to EMDR, I integrate Somatic therapies and Art therapy as needed, providing a holistic approach that addresses both the emotional and physical responses to trauma. This combination not only enhances the processing of traumatic memories but also fosters self-expression and emotional regulation, promoting overall well-being.
By utilizing a comprehensive and individualized approach, I aim to support my clients in their healing journey, empowering them to reclaim their lives and find peace.
