Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Connecticut. I have 6 + years of experience working with children and adolescents on an inpatient hospital unit and their home-based setting as an IICAPS Clinician. I received my Masters from UCONN School of Social Work in 2020. Working with clients I focus on utilizing a strengths-based approach to improve self-esteem, adaptive functioning, and maintaining secure relationships with others. I have experience working with a wide range of diagnoses, including ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and psychosis.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we’ll start with introductions and spend time getting to know each other, then we will dive into the challenges that are impacting your daily functioning and areas you wish to improve. Utilizing this information we will establish an individualized engagement treatment plan to continue to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with children, adolescents, and families I’ve developed a skill set of strengths-based techniques that support open and honest reflection, positive communication skills, conflict resolution, and provide support to clients while building their individualized toolbox of coping skills for access through future experiences.
