Finding the Right Support
People come to therapy for different reasons and at different seasons in their lives. Some arrive in a moment of crisis—something has happened, and they need support right away. Others come during a transition, when life is shifting and the old ways of navigating aren't working anymore. And some come simply because they're curious about what else is possible, and they want space to reflect and think things through—what matters is that something brought you here—and we can work with that.
How I Work
I am working a hybrid schedule—when local, I'm available in person at my office in Darien, or by phone and telehealth.
My approach is eclectic, adaptive, and relational—the work often focuses on the relationships in your life, starting with your relationship with yourself. The psychotherapeutic relationship oftentimes becomes a space to explore and understand patterns, make sense of what's been happening, and consider new ways of moving forward in your life.
What Brings People Here
I started my clinical work at Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, CT, where I worked for four years. Through my work there and in private practice, I've supported clients navigating a broad spectrum of experiences.
Life Transitions & Growth
Career changes, relationship shifts, major decisions, navigating life's turning points
Anxiety & Depression
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unable to find relief. Integration support available for those who have had ketamine or other psychedelic experiences.
Trauma & PTSD
Processing difficult experiences, building stability and resilience. For those who have had psychedelic experiences as part of their healing journey, I offer integration support.
Relationships & Connection
Communication, boundaries, intimacy, navigating interpersonal challenges
Identity & Self-Discovery
Questions of who you are, what you value, and how you want to live. Including sexuality, gender expression, and personal growth.
Addiction & Recovery
Substance use, behavioral patterns, building sustainable change. Integration support available for those exploring emerging research-backed approaches. Including dual diagnosis support.
Meaning & Purpose
Existential questions, spiritual exploration, finding direction. For those who have had psychedelic experiences, I help make sense of insights in a grounded, sustainable way.
Loss & Grief
Processing death, endings, and major life changes
Integrative Methods
My clinical training includes advanced work in several evidence-based approaches, including psychedelic preparation and integration work. I draw from these frameworks and others, depending on what's most helpful for each person.
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
A structured, goal-oriented approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for responding to challenges in new ways.
DBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Particularly helpful for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills offer concrete tools for managing intense emotions and navigating relationship challenges.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
A structured approach to processing traumatic memories and distressing experiences. EMDR helps the brain reprocess difficult material in a way that reduces emotional charge and increases adaptive understanding. It can also support integration of material that surfaces during psychedelic experiences.
IFS
Internal Family Systems
A framework for understanding the different parts of ourselves—protective parts, wounded parts, and core Self. IFS work helps people develop compassion and integration rather than internal conflict—including making sense of what emerges in psychedelic experiences.
Somatic & Mindfulness Practices
Mind-Body Integration
Approaches that recognize the connection between physical experience and emotional well-being. Drawing from Transcendental Meditation and Reiki, these practices support nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and grounding—skills that also support psychedelic preparation and integration.
Life & Spiritual Coaching
Beyond the Clinical Frame
For clients interested in meaning-making work outside the clinical frame—exploring purpose, values, spiritual questions, or life direction.
Psychedelic Integration Therapy
Research supports psychedelic-assisted therapy for conditions including depression, PTSD, substance use disorders, and end-of-life distress.
I support clients who have had psychedelic experiences—therapeutic, ceremonial, or otherwise—and want help making sense of what came up. I do preparation and integration work for substances legal in your jurisdiction.
I do not prescribe, provide, promote, or administer any substances.
Many clients come to therapy having had experiences with psychedelics—both legal and illegal. I provide a confidential, non-judgmental space to process these experiences and work toward healing.
Harm reduction means I meet you where you are without judgment, provide education about safety and research where appropriate, and support you in making informed decisions about your health.
If ketamine-assisted therapy may be beneficial, I can provide referrals to licensed medical providers with specialized training.
