LCSW, 5 years of experience
I am an energetic Licensed Clinical Social Worker that is passionate about working with individuals utilizing a strength-based approach to help all individuals reach their personal goals of symptom management, decreasing stress, managing anxiety, and increasing self-care. I am located in CT! I received my Masters of Social Work from Simmons University. I have over 5 years experience working with a multitude of populations and diagnoses.
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.
Having worked with a multitude of populations and diagnoses, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I love to work with a client who is motivated to take the lead on their treatment. I have speciality in working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, mood disorders, and many others.
