Hello, I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut. I received my Masters in Social Worker from Fordham University and have been in the field of Social Work for over 8 years. I specialize in generalized anxiety and depression. In addition, I provide clinical therapy to individuals with significant mental health diagnoses and trauma. I aim to take an open minded and nonjudgmental approach when engaging with others in my daily life and practice the same approach in therapy.

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

Our first session will comprise of a brief introduction and reason for you are seeking therapy. We will briefly go over expectations for therapy and what to expect from me as a provider. Collaboratively, will begin the process of developing individual treatment goals.

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

My greatest strength as a therapist is my capacity to be empathetic towards my clients while maintaining they keep a level of accountability key for their healing and growth. My approach is client centered in that I feel my clients will be the driving force for their treatment. In addition, I have a broad scope of knowledge and skills that I've garnered throughout my years in the social services field, which I implement in my role as a provider.
