I am an LICSW providing individual therapy to adults experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, substance use disorders, relationship issues, self esteem concerns, infertility, workplace burnout & stress. I also work with clients seeking parenting support. I have been in practice for over ten years and I completed my MSW from Boston University. I have experience working in all levels of treatment including group therapy, inpatient care, & intensive outpatient groups.
In our first session together we will review your goals for treatment and reasons for seeking therapy at this time. We will also complete and initial intake which is a brief overview about you and your history. We will also begin to build a therapeutic alliance together.
I am often able to easily engage with my new clients. I have a conversational style and I use humor often along with active listening to form therapeutic alliances and build trust with my clients.
I enjoy working with clients who are open to change and growth and seeking to gain insight into patterns and behaviors. I like to work with clients who are open to the process of therapy and who want to add new skills to improve their functioning . I enjoy working with clients who want to work on creating and implementing healthy boundaries and clear communication in order to improve their relationships.
