Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who is licensed in Connecticut with 7 years of professional work experience and 3 years in private practice. I love what I do...working with and for each person! I have collaborated with a variety of clients with various needs. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, & coping with life changes. I am available to aid clients in improving concentration, memory and focus (ADHD). Above all, I aim to see you for who you are...your strengths, interests, and personal gifts to help you navigate life. Your struggle is real and so are all the other qualities & goals that make you. Let's explore this together!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. This means that I will encourage you to direct the conversation, share strategies, and occasionally incorporate activities. If you struggle with these things, then I am happy to provide you with the psycho-education to develop the skills to grow. Each session is to help empower your voice and your capacity to reclaim authority in your life. I invite you to schedule a consultation with me prior to your initial session in order to get to know me and my services. This is the best way to learn more about how counseling with me works. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in this daring exploration.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a mental health professional, I have learned a variety of skills that can support you. Some of the strongest skills that I have developed include helping each person to think deeply & with alternative perspectives, challenge clients to take courageous steps, empathize with each person's struggles with openness, and incorporating exercises to practice those skills. The focus is about helping you to develop and increase your personal power to be even better than before.
