Therapy Tailored to You
Healing is not one-size-fits-all. Each person brings a unique story, set of experiences, and goals into therapy. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices that support meaningful and lasting change.
Whether you’re working through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, or major life transitions, together we will create a treatment plan that meets your individual needs.
I offer in-person sessions in Westport, Connecticut, and HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions throughout Connecticut and Florida.
Evidence-Based Services to Support Your Wellbeing
Individual Adult Therapy
Individual therapy offers you a private, supportive space to explore what’s weighing on you and begin creating meaningful change.
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, navigating a life transition, or carrying unresolved trauma. Therapy can help you gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and build healthier relationships — including the one you have with yourself.
In our work together, you can expect:
- A safe, non-judgmental environment
- Collaborative goal setting
- Trauma-informed care
- Tools to manage stress and emotional overwhelm
- Support in building self-awareness and confidence
Our first session begins with a comprehensive intake where we identify your challenges, strengths, and hopes for the future. From there, we move forward with intention and care.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Often, it’s not the situation itself that causes distress — but how we interpret it. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced, constructive thoughts.
CBT is effective for:
- Anxiety and panic
- Depression
- OCD
- Stress management
- Anger
- Phobias
- Behavioral challenges
Through practical exercises and guided reflection, you’ll develop skills that you can apply in everyday life — helping you feel more empowered and emotionally balanced.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on helping individuals regulate intense emotions, tolerate distress, and improve relationships.
If you feel overwhelmed by strong emotions, struggle with impulsive reactions, or experience conflict in relationships, DBT provides practical skills to create stability and balance.
DBT centers around four core skill areas:
- Mindfulness Staying present and aware
- Distress Tolerance Managing emotional pain without making it worse
- Emotion Regulation Understanding and adjusting intense feelings
- Interpersonal Effectiveness Communicating confidently and maintaining self-respect
The foundation of DBT is acceptance and change — learning to honor where you are while building the skills needed to move forward.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is a therapeutic approach that aims to help those who struggle with shame and self-criticism, often resulting from early experiences. CFT teaches clients to cultivate the skills of self-compassion and other-oriented compassion, which are thought to help regulate mood and lead to feelings of safety, self-acceptance, and comfort.
CFT treatment works toward the overarching goal of cultivating compassion for the self and others. To that end, the therapist will often start by teaching the client about the evolution of the brain, the construction of the self, and the systems that regulate emotions. It is theorized that disruptions in the brain’s emotion regulation systems lead someone to hyperfocus on threat while disregarding the need to self-soothe.
The therapist will then help the client develop the key skills of compassion, self-compassion, and mindfulness via a technique known as compassionate mind training. Clients will also learn how to recognize self-criticism and develop techniques for defusing it when it arises.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
EMDR is a powerful, research-backed therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences.
When difficult experiences remain “stuck,” they can continue to affect how you think, feel, and respond to the world. EMDR helps the brain reprocess these memories so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity.
As an EMDRIA-trained and certified clinician, I guide you through a structured, eight-phase process using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to support the brain’s natural healing ability.
- Trauma and PTSD
- Panic attacks
- Complicated grief
- Performance anxiety
- Negative self-beliefs
- Disturbing memories
You remain in control throughout the process, and we move at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)
SPACE is an evidence-based treatment model designed to help parents support children, teens, and young adults struggling with anxiety or OCD.
Rather than focusing on changing the child directly, SPACE works with parents to adjust their responses in ways that reduce anxiety and increase resilience.
Through this approach, parents learn to:
- Respond to anxiety with calm confidence
- Reduce accommodation behaviors
- Support independence and coping skills
- Strengthen the parent-child relationship
SPACE empowers parents with tools that create meaningful change within the family system.
