It's not just you...
I love being a therapist, but I have to admit it; being a
therapist is harder than it's ever been, especially if you're also
a person with marginalized identities. Between juggling insurance
companies that refuse to pay claims, sweeping federal policy
changes that leave entire programs in limbo, and *gestures wildly
at the state of the world,* it's an exhausting reality as a
professional mental health provider- and somehow, we're supposed
to balance that with all the usual obligations and
responsibilities we have. Now more than ever, therapists need
support so we can care for our communities.
I've worked in the mental health field for over 5 years in
inpatient, residential, IOP, and outpatient levels of care, and
have assisted in the founding of private practices across the
state of Connecticut. Needless to say, I've learned some things
along my journey that I'd love to share with you.
As a peer-consultant, I invite therapists and grad students to
bring your challenges, fears, and aspirations to the table so we
can shape a growing career to suit you. I offer space for you to
ask your burning questions - either I have the answer, or we'll
find it together. Whether you're looking for input on a complex
case or debating whether to panel with insurance, I've got you
covered.
If you're interested in meeting with me for consultation or would
like additional information on how I can support you as a therapist,
