Calming Connections PLLC

Welcome, and thank you for considering me to support you in your journey. I started Calming Connections PLLC as a way to reach more individuals and families struggling with a variety of mental health needs. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I often look at the struggles people face through the lens of family systems. I believe our upbringing has a profound effect on who we are and how we see the world. Beyond our family of origin, as humans we strive to make meaningful connections with friends, classmates, coworkers, our chosen family and community. These connections can be invaluable but can also cause a wide range of difficult experiences. It is my goal to form a trusting relationship with each client in order to help figure out what is holding you back from a more satisfying life and set goals that lead you to a more positive relationship with yourself and others. I have experience working in both Outpatient and In-Home settings through various mental health agencies, as well as private practice and school-based work. I utilize a variety of talk therapy techniques and am currently becoming trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Please feel free to ask any questions about my training or approach by using the contact button. *In addition to this practice, I am also a School-Based Clinician at Mount Anthony Union High School. In order to prevent conflicts of interest, I am currently only able to accept adult clients ages 18+ and adolescents ages 14-18 who do not attend MAUHS.
