Bio

From childhood, my passion was (and still is!) Nature. It was a forgone conclusion that I would study biology. And I did. I achieved a BS in biology from UConn, as a non-traditional student, but on my way to applying to a science PhD program, I got sidetracked by a job at the Yale School of Medicine. Thus I began a career in science making transgenic constructs for human disease models (not nearly as glamorous as it sounds!). Eventually, I left the bench and shifted to being a lab manager for a large cancer lab. But neither of those paths fed my soul.

Fast forward many years later: severely burnt out, depressed, and a shell of my real self - I abruptly left Yale and pursued another big interest I had been nurturing all along - the Mind and Mental Health. I entered and completed a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at New England College in New Hampshire, and jumped right into building a private practice.

My education is far from over - my curiosity and love of learning will always be a part of what I do. My clinical interests, and well as my own passions, have informed my education, training and practice, and hope is that I can incorporate all of this knowledge, to help bring you healing and peace of mind.
