My Philosophy

I believe in the process of change. Change can lead to growth, healing, resilience, and the discovery of untapped potential. My therapeutic approach is grounded in advanced masters-level training as a Marriage & Family Therapist and is informed by client-centered, systems-oriented, and trauma-informed perspectives.

While my training includes work with relationship and family systems, EHW Counseling & Therapy, LLC is focused exclusively on individual therapy for adults over 18. I tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs, using a variety of therapeutic interventions to support self-awareness, emotional growth, and meaningful change.

I believe that even discomfort can serve a purpose. Together, we can explore what that discomfort may be communicating and how it may relate to patterns, obstacles, or life transitions that feel difficult to navigate alone. Therapy provides a safe, compassionate, and supportive space for self-reflection, healing, and personal growth. I help clients identify meaningful goals and empower them to prioritize needs, strengthen self-understanding, and create lasting change in their lives.

My Experience

I received my Master of Social Work from Fordham University and my Master of Marriage & Family Therapy from Southern Connecticut State University. I also hold a Drug & Alcohol Recovery Certificate from Gateway Community College and a B.A. from University of New Hampshire.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (Lic. No. 1848) and a Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor (Lic. No. 1169) in the state of Connecticut. I have advanced training in Gestalt therapy through Southern Connecticut State University and am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I have extensive experience working with individuals experiencing co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns in both residential and outpatient clinical settings. I have worked with clients in various stages of change and with differing levels of motivation, and I value working collaboratively with individuals who are committed to their growth and healing process.

My therapeutic approach integrates several evidence-based and experiential modalities, including CBT, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, experiential approaches, mindfulness practices, psychoeducation, and creative arts interventions. Although my systems training informs the way I understand relationships and life experiences, EHW Counseling and Therpay is dedicated solely to individual therapy and personal growth work.  

I am a member of the Connecticut Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, and EMDR International Association.

Me Personally

I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Life has offered me many opportunities for growth, and I understand the challenges that can come with transitions, uncertainty, and change. I value authenticity, connection, and self-reflection, and I know how meaningful it can be to feel grounded and content within yourself. I also identify as an introvert and appreciate opportunities to step outside my comfort zone and continue growing personally and professionally.
