Hi, I am a licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the state of Massachusetts. I have received my Master degree from Springfield college in 2012, and has been helping clients who experienced traumatic events, clients who have lived with anxiety and others who have ADHD to develop coping skills and allowing the client to become the version of themselves they wanted always to be.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My goal is to support change in client mood from the first session. I believe in respecting your time, that is why my mission is to teach, improve and instill technique from the first session.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My clients are diverse in their age, backgrounds and the issues that brought to therapy. Some of them have been struggling with depression, or anxiety for a long time while others come seeking help after they've faced a horrific event, others experienced a sudden loss of a loved one. My years in working in providing therapy gave me the privilege of teaching and supporting individuals move forward in their journey and live the life they wanted to have.

My treatment methods

EMDR

EMDR is great in instilling coping skills in to client on day one and supporting them in managing and lowering their symptoms right away.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Teach client the mindfulness to manage their symptoms, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. Will teach client those skills and review their success and modify as needed.
