Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT). I received my BA degree from the university of Connecticut in 1991 and my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2010 from Southerh, CT. State University. I've been licensed in Connecticut as an LMFT since 2013. I subsequently obtained my LCMFT in the State of Maryland in 2023.
In our first session, I will allow you to talk about what prompted you to seek support at this time while listening attentively to your needs to ensure that you feel supported and listened to.
My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to provide unconditional support and positive regards to individuals from all walks of life. I provide a safe, open and honest atmosphere that promotes healing, growth, respect and honesty.
I enjoy working with individuals over the age of 18 yo. Although I have an extensive history working with children and adolescents throughout my career, I believe I am most effective working with adults while helping them to manage emotional issues, life cycle transitions and relationship building.
