ADHD Therapists in Connecticut

I am a licensed clinical social worker, certified to provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and an AASECT-certified Sex Therapist. I bring a trauma-focused perspective to all of my work and pull from a mix of evidence-based treatments depending on client need. My specialties are in sex therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. My experience providing sex therapy includes treatment for the following conditions: desire discrepancy in couples; low sex drive; ED, PE, vaginismus, vulvodynia, recovery from sexual trauma, erotic recovery and emotional healing after an affair, negotiating boundaries within monogamy, the development of a polyamorous agreement, out-of-control sexual behaviors and kink-affirming care. I am so excited about ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), which I provide in partnership with prescribers through Journey Clinical. While nothing is a magic cure, I have been amazed and inspired by the rapid improvement I've seen in my KAP clients' lives.

I am a dual-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and certified nurse-midwife with a specialized focus on women’s mental health. My clinical background allows me to understand the connection between emotional wellbeing, physical health, hormonal changes, and the many life transitions that can affect mental health. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, stress, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and menopause-related mental health symptoms. With additional certificates in perinatal mental health and menopause mental health, I bring a thoughtful and informed approach to care during some of the most important and sensitive stages of life. My experience as a nurse-midwife has shaped the way I support patients. I am especially attuned to the natural cycles, transitions, and changes that can impact how we feel emotionally and physically. I strive to create a supportive, respectful space where patients feel heard, validated, and empowered. My goal is to work collaboratively with each patient to better understand what they are experiencing, identify the support they need, and help them move toward feeling more balanced, confident, and well.

During therapy, there is an ongoing effort to develop effective coping skills, decrease emotional distress, improve functioning, and resolve symptoms and problems.

Hello! I'm a licensed psychologist that specialize in evidence-based practices drawn from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based theories to help clients explore difficult emotions, challenge harmful thought patterns, and better manage stress and anxiety. As a proud two-time HBCU graduate from Spelman College and Howard University, I bring a wealth of knowledge and clinical experience gained from working in diverse settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and virtually-based mental healthcare. My work also extends to specialized populations, such as individuals with eating disorders and developmental challenges like Autism and ADHD. I am deeply passionate about supporting Black women, and I consider it a true privilege to uplift, amplify, and nurture our greatness.

Growing up with learning disabilities, I had an experience that is all too familiar for the neurodivergent community. Often feeling misunderstood and out of place, I was faced with indifference, ignorance, neglect, gaslighting, shame, and the assumption that I could navigate a world that was not built for me without the support I so badly needed. Lonely, adrift, and struggling to find a sense of belonging, I was cast aside and left to fend for myself. After a series of negative experiences with mental health resources and support, my personal journey led me to a couples therapist in 2014. There, I embarked on a journey of transformation, and I was able to see the profound impact that the right therapy relationship could have on a person. It was then that I was introduced to Gestalt psychotherapy, which I immediately connected with. From there, I set forth on a new journey to study Gestalt psychotherapy at the Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy, a post-graduate training program. Pursuing this path, I have continued to experience connectedness, belonging, compassion, the wonder of curiosity, and love itself. Arriving at this place of acceptance and understanding changed everything for me. Understanding that this positive experience is not the norm for members of the neurodivergent community, I decided to dedicate myself to providing that same transformation for others. With this mission, I founded Welcome Home Healing in 2023. Since then, I have had the pleasure of helping many clients embrace their own innate worth, gifts, individuality, and the freedom to shed their masks of shame and self doubt.
