Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Connecticut. I received my Masters from Springfield College in Massachusetts. I have been working in the Social Work field for 8 years in many capacities. I am committed to helping children, families and individuals work through any barriers they are experiencing in their lives with my main focus being to provide a relaxed, non judgmental collaborative approach to help my clients reach their goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first few sessions together we will focus on building rapport, identifying your reason for seeking therapy and determining if we are a good fit. I believe that when it comes to therapy or any kind of therapeutic relationship, there has to be a good fit for the process to flourish organically. Therapy is not an interview, it is a conversation of curiosity and a place of healing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel that my greatest strengths as a provider are connection, accountability and my ability to motivate my clients.

Supportive
Utilizing supportive therapy, I allow my clients to discuss their concerns in a nonjudgmental and safe environment. This is a less structured form of therapy and I typically focus on the immediate concerns of my clients and provide them with support.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a form of psychotherapy where I work with my clients to identify and challenge their unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. When utilizing this form of therapy I typically provide take home assignments to be completed and discussed in session.
Psychoeducation
I provide my clients with education to help them better assess their situation and work with them to create a plan of action should they require one.
