Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut and soon to see Massachusetts people. I have started using IFS and KAP, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. You can work with just me or you can use me as the psychedelic clinician and for ketamine assisted psychotherapy. I received my master's from Springfield College and have been practicing for 15 years. I practice a integrative, multicultural, practice of compassionate healing and growth. You are not just lectured at or listened to, we come together to help spark that part of you that was always there. We create more of a learning and practicing environment until it feels natural. Everyone starts out in life learning from their experiences and those who raise us. Later we can add more effective communication approaches, gain a deeper understanding, and efficient, empathetic problem solving. We've led people to a better understanding of themselves and accomplishment of their goals.

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

We will get to know each other better for the first session and I will get some background information about you, your hopes, needs, and history.

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

I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

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

I offer individualized treatments, specializing in grief, trauma, healthy communication, mindfulness, NVC, & CBT. We now work with individuals and families with co-occurring disorders. We also offer KAP/ketamine treatment, are starting to integrate IFS and EMDR.
