I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker for Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I work with people in individual teletherapy sessions over video. I help people to feel better about themselves and their situations and to identify what changes may be possible and help them to work through the steps to make those changes, as well as the feelings that go along with it.
In our first session together, we will spend the time getting to know who you are, your background, and what you would like to accomplish.
I try to have a positive, strengths-based, collaborative approach. It can be very challenging talking to a new person about some of your most difficult areas so I try to offer a safe space where I recognize and respect your strengths and abilities and help you to recognize them too.
I work with adults 18 and older who are looking to make a change or receive some support to deal with anxiety, depression, adjustments and transitions, self-esteem, and stress management.. I work with people for short term and longer term periods, depending on what appears best for you.
I work with individuals in learning and identifying how their thoughts affect how they feel. We work toward challenging these thoughts to try to replace them with more positive thoughts. We use a thought record to help them to work through it during the week even outside of counseling.
