Therapists in Connecticut

I help clients explore what it means to live in deeper alignment with their sense of self, desires, values, and capacity for pleasure. My work is rooted in the belief that feeling fully alive includes reconnecting with the parts of ourselves that may have been shaped, limited, or silenced by expectations of who we “should” be. Together, we explore sexuality, pleasure, identity, relationships, and self-expression as meaningful parts of the healing process. When we talk about sex, we often open the door to many other areas of life — intimacy, boundaries, confidence, vulnerability, joy, and personal freedom. My approach is mindful, present-centered, and compassionate. I support clients in tuning into what is happening in the here and now, noticing what their experiences can teach them, and using that awareness to move toward a life that feels more authentic, connected, and fully their own.

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience, I have provided care across clinical settings ranging from emergency medicine to family practice. My background in rural critical access and telehealth has fueled my commitment to expanding high-quality healthcare for underserved communities and busy individuals. I hold multiple advanced degrees in nursing and education, and I am nationally board certified as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and a Certified Nurse Educator. In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about graduate-level nursing education, believing that patient understanding is the cornerstone of long-term health. Now based in Alaska, I combine clinical expertise with a compassionate approach to ensure my patients receive evidence-based, personalized support. My goal is to bridge the gap in traditional care through timely, accessible consultations that prioritize your wellness journey.

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.

As an AuDHD (i.e. someone who is autistic and also happens to have ADHD), I am honored to work with neurodivergent people who have difficulty developing nourishing relationships, honoring themselves, and finding acceptance. I see my clients learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings and sensations, noticing their bodies, unmet needs, and humanity. From this, there is a shift from rejection to acceptance and holding. The body is no longer something to be avoided, but a home for healing, growth, and nourishment.

I'm a New York based therapist who helps overwhelmed, high-performing individuals navigate burnout, life transitions, stress, and the pressure to "hold it all together," I take a warm, real, conversational approach that helps clients feel understood, grounded, and actually supported.

Additionally, BioRestore Health offers anti-aging therapies for both men and women to help them look and feel younger and healthier.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave you feeling dissatisfied with life. As a Caribbean American, I help men and women heal from trauma and toxic relationships by providing a safe, judgment free zone where you can learn new coping strategies to live your best life. I utilize cognitive-behavioral interventions and a psychodynamic and systems-based perspective that focuses on providing you with the tools to do the work to heal yourself. Are you ready to do the work? I am currently accepting new clients for 2024. Let us collaborate to improve your emotional intelligence, build your confidence, and maintain healthy relationships with others so you can experience as much joy and peace as possible.
