About
I believe that healing starts with being truly seen, so I work to build a space where you can explore who you are without pressure or judgment.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 2 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I help clients navigate stress, relationships, and personal growth by creating a warm, collaborative space where they feel seen and supported. My approach is tailored to each person’s unique needs, focusing on building strengths, developing coping skills, and fostering resilience and lasting change.
I earned my Master’s in Counselor Education from Radford University. I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach that combines empathy, support, and practical strategies to help clients overcome barriers and build self-awareness.
It takes courage to begin therapy, and I believe everyone deserves a space to feel heard, understood, and empowered. In our work together, you can expect guidance, authenticity, and a safe space to grow at your own pace.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Milford, CT usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Milford, CT offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.

Family therapy or family counseling is designed to help family members discuss and resolve issues that are affecting overall or individual health and wellbeing. For example, a family that is going through a major life transition—such as moving to a new city—can benefit from working with a family therapist or psychologist. Family therapy is at times the primary treatment method, while at others it is supplemental.
Any family that is struggling to deal with a stressful event can benefit from family therapy. Stressful events include divorce, financial divides, or the loss of a loved one. A family therapist can help members to talk through the stressful event at hand, understand how it is affecting each individual, and understand how the family can act (individually and as a whole) to best benefit everyone involved. Additionally, family therapy can be beneficial if an individual has been recently diagnosed with a mental illness like depression or if the family is struggling with everyday problems like rebellion in children or teens. In summary, a family therapist can help in the following situations:
This form of therapy is led by a licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT). Other professionals who have completed training in family therapy might also incorporate family therapy techniques into their work. Most often, family therapy is short-term. In other words, you’ll finish out this process within as few as 9 or 10 sessions. And each session can vary, in terms of what is discussed as well as who attends. Your family therapist will design therapy around your family’s unique needs and goals for therapy.
If there is a family feud occurring, a family therapist or psychologist can help each individual involved and the family as a whole to find a resolution. Your therapist might use family systems theory, a popular family therapy approach, to help you. This approach believes that the family is an emotional unit and that behavior is informed by the state of family functioning.
If you think your family could use a professional’s help to improve dynamics or wellbeing, consider working with a family therapist or psychologist at Thriveworks Counseling in New Haven. We can set you up with a skilled, caring family therapist who has worked hard to obtain the experience and training to help you.
