Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in CT, with over 15 years of experience working with children, teenagers and adults. I have worked in the school system for over 10 years, and am well experienced helping folks with Autism, Intellectual Disabilities, ADHD, Learning Disabilities or Anxiety maximize their strengths, work through their challenges, and thrive. I also have experience helping folks experiencing symptoms related to trauma experiences improve their relationships and quality of life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session I will review any paperwork you have completed online and ask follow up questions to get a better understanding of who you are, what brings you to therapy, and what outcomes you would like to see.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have a warm, collaborative approach to therapy, yet I am also one who will (gently) challenge a client when they are ready and it is warranted. I believe in teaching and learning practical strategies to deal with life's challenges. I also believe that we are all always learning and growing. Everyone has challenges. Thus, I treat my clients with respect and dignity.
