For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I would tell them that therapy is a safe and supportive space where they can explore their feelings and challenges without judgment. It’s natural to feel hesitant, but therapy is about empowering you to understand and manage your mental health in a way that promotes overall well-being. Taking that first step can lead to meaningful progress and positive change, and I’m here to guide you through the process with compassion and respect.

Hello! I'm a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping people. After earning my Master's in Nursing from Simmons University in Boston and my Bachelor's from Boston College, I went on to specialize in psychiatric care. I currently work at a Behavioral Health Hospital in CT, where I focus on treating geriatric patients with various mental health conditions. My approach includes supportive, personalized and compassionate care. Previously, I worked at a Private Practice in New Britain, where I prescribed medication, diagnosed and managed treatments for mental health disorders across the life span. I always strive to support my patients and their families through clear communication and comprehensive care plans. Earlier in my career, I was a Registered Nurse at Hartford Hospital's Institute of Living. There, I cared for patients with conditions like depression, dementia, and schizophrenia. I also enjoyed mentoring new nurses and working with a multidisciplinary team to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. I'm certified by the American Nurse Credentialing Center as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I'm also trained in Basic Cardiac Life Support. I look forward to partnering with you on your health journey!

Personally, I will use therapy for the rest of my life. I find it helps me to process unconscious material, to build up my core of robust vulnerability, and to level-up my life. If I wasn't in therapy I would be spraying unconscious material into my work and relationships and staying stuck in the same unhelpful patterns. With therapy, my life keeps getting simpler, richer, bigger, and more connected. Therapy also helps me to stay in touch with the poetic quality of my life and the mythological arc or hero's journey that I am on. If I can stay in touch with this quality, my story becomes more heroic over time.

Do you feel burned out or stuck in a life that no longer works for you? Does your body feel pained, exhausted, or overly anxious. Do you feel like a phony or that the real you hasn't yet emerged. Well, you've only been this age once. Maybe it's time to give your life an overhaul. Somatic psychology is a cutting-edge approach that works to restore the nervous system to a state of healthy regulation, energy, flow and feeling at home in your body. This provides a foundation of authentic self-esteem that becomes the basis for a big meaningful career and a network of healthy relationships—a life that feels great on the inside. The core of my work uses Somatic Experiencing, a body-oriented approach grounded in neuroscience and the latest in trauma-informed research. It works to discharge bound survival energy, disrupt tension patterns, and reset and revitalize the nervous system. Somatic therapy pairs extremely well with psychedelic work to accelerate the process of healing. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment patterns, and a psychodynamic approach into my work. My main areas of specialization are: - Authentic Career Adaptation - Attachment Strategies in Relationships - Chronic Pain and Health Conditions - Psychedelic Integration - Owning your Identity (LGBT and other) Whether you are new to therapy or have spent years talking about your problems without improvement, you may have been using the wrong approach. If you'd like to learn more about my approach and why it can be more effective than talk therapy, visit my website and schedule a free 30-minute consultation. I look forward to meeting you.

Commit to three sessions. Stay open minded.  It takes time to open up and feel comfortable.  By 3 sessions, you’ll likely notice an improvement. 

Ok

Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about finding solutions, learning coping strategies, and improving your overall well-being. My approach is compassionate and non-judgmental, ensuring that each person feels supported at their own pace. Everyone deserves to feel their best, and taking the first step can lead to meaningful and lasting change.

It’s ok to be nervous or scared about asking for help. This is a huge first step and perhaps one of the hardest to take. Asking for help doesn’t mean your weak or incapable, in fact in means the opposite. It means that you are strong and know both your strengths and limitations. No one is perfect or superman, we all have our own struggles and to continue to grow, help from others is necessary.

Like the name of my practice, I believe individuals are also capable of blooming throughout even the most difficult of circumstances.

During our sessions together we will work towards achieving your goals. This process will allow you to decompress from life’s daily struggles while learning skills to find your peace and happiness. As a therapist it is my goal to help individuals have a better understanding of themselves, process past pain, and feel confident in moving through life.

It is perfectly normal, even expected to be nervous or hesitant to start therapy. It is actually a HUGE step to seek help in the first place! I applaud you for simply showing up.

Counseling is a process that you control and drive. I am along for the ride, to help you understand the map and how to navigate the road. You tell me what you would like to have happen--what is troubling you now and how you would like to feel when we are finished. Sharing your story with a stranger is sometimes hard but sometimes easier than sharing it with someone with whom you have history. My role as your counselor/therapist is to become your ally on this therapeutic journey and to provide a safe space where you can talk and be yourself without fear of judgment. I promise to be honest with you and support you as you explore who you are and become accepting of yourself. I will work to earn your trust and to shine a light on the road ahead.

Therapy give you a chance to connect with another person who understands the struggle of struggling. You’ve shown so much strength, you’ve been resilient against your will, you’ve adapted to all of these harsh environments and they’ve shaped you into the person you are today. Therapy  gives you the opportunity to lean on someone when you feel like you’ve been strong long enough. 

As a professional in the mental health field, I’ve worked with individuals in all stages of life, from adolescents to geriatrics, along with couples, and families. Communication, self esteem, life transitions, identity, addiction, post traumatic stress, and depression are some of the issues therapy can help with. Change starts with you first establishing a healthy relationship with yourself. Working together, we will examine and enhance your coping skills in order to unlatch and establish the emotional strength and confidence. In this work, you’re bound to see yourself becoming all that you've wanted to become, trudging through your rough patch, and attaining victory
