Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Connecticut. I received my Masters of Social Worker from the Columbia University in 2002 and have been practicing clinical therapy in a variety of settings since then. I have over 22 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults who are suffering from trauma, depression, mood disorders, anxiety, interpersonal challenges, identity exploration, and eating disorders. I help assist each client with what they came to therapy to discover and become the best versions of themselves.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, start to build a rapport, 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.

I strive to provide a safe and open environment for you to discuss the many complex issues in your life. We will collaborate to find ways to empower you to realize personal growth with a firm understanding of how to move forward. 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.
