"My faith is my center, and I stand firm on the Word of God, trusting in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I am outgoing, energetic, and motivated, skilled therapist with a passion for working with children, families and adults. Being a psychotherapist has been a passion for since I was school age. Growing up in Connecticut I’ve witnessed adults struggling with finances, substance/drug abuse and untreated mental health issues, feeling hopeless.I grew up alongside children struggling with self- harm, depression, anxiety, school difficulty and what seemed like defiance. Children carry the symptoms of the dysfunction of a family system and try to manage it the best way they know how. I believe that it is possible to resolve any difficulties a child, individual or family is dealing with. If possible, the work should begin with the family. If working with the family as a whole is not possible then beginning services with one member of the family is a start, then the whole family unit can begin to grow and heal together. My goal is to help heal families and individuals while strengthening their faith in the ultimate father. "
