I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Connecticut. I have practiced as an LCSW for 13 years and worked as a master of social worker (MSW) for several years prior to becoming licensed. I have practiced in a number of settings. I have utilized multiple treatment modalities. I offer a safe and compassionate space for individuals work on their own individual challenges and take steps toward personal growth. I utilize tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and/or applied behavior analysis as applicable to each individualized therapeutic circumstance.

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

In the first session, I would have reviewed your intake questionnaire. I will seek clarification for any missing information and may need to ask some follow up questions. I will ask questions related to safety. I will want to establish goals in treatment which would be related to your current challenge/presenting problem or concern.

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

I have been told by clients that I am relatable and they feel comfortable sharing with me. I am honest and genuine so I do keep it real. That sometimes means therapeutically confronting things you may not want to address. I believe I do that respectfully, honoring you as an individual and your vulnerability.
