Hey there! I'm so glad you're considering therapy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping people, I've had the privilege of working with kids, teens, and adults in individual, group, and family settings throughout Connecticut. I've learned that everyone's journey is unique, and that's why I'm committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, or just feeling stuck in your life, I'm here to listen and support you. I know that starting therapy can be intimidating, but I want to assure you that it's okay to take the first step. I'm here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, support, and expertise every step of the way.

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

When we meet for the first time, I want to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for us to get started. We'll spend some time getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to therapy at this time in your life. I'll ask you some questions to help me understand your history and what you're hoping to work on during our time together. Throughout treatment, you're in the driver's seat, and we'll work together to identify what's most important to you. Whether it's addressing specific challenges, building self-awareness, or simply having a supportive ear to talk to, you're the expert on your own life. My goal is to make you feel heard, understood, and supported, and to give you the tools and resources you need to achieve your goals.

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

As a therapist, I'm passionate about building a strong connection with my clients. I believe that empathy and compassion can create a safe and supportive space for growth and change. I am a good listener and use humor to connect with my clients. I use a relational approach to therapy and believe successfully outcomes happen when you find a therapist you feel comfortable with.

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

I'm looking for clients who are ready to make a positive change in their lives. Whether you're dealing with a tough transition, stress, anxiety, family conflict, or relationship issues, I'm here to help you work through it. My approach is chill and non-judgmental - we'll work together to find solutions that feel right for you. If you're ready for a supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions, let's get started.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have used CBT for the last 4 years. I have found that it has brought my clients the most success by supporting them in connecting their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to cope with specific challenges and stressors.

Psychoeducation

I utilize psychoeducation, which is the process of helping clients understand the reason behind their thoughts and feelings. I prioritize supporting my clients in understanding their experiences and how it impacts their reactions in their daily lives.
