Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut. I received my Masters from Springfield College and have been practicing for 14 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.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I'll introduce the model and see if it resonates with person. Sometimes I'll use goal setting and if something comes up the tools.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I believe this is important for any treatment to slow down and notice. Once awareness comes then we can work on the changes that you may want to make.
