I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Trauma Professional in the states of CT, VA, NC, and FL with over 10 years of experience providing services to adults, children and families. I offer a comprehensive range of therapeutic interventions tailored to meet the unique needs of each client(s). My specialty lies in providing evidenced-based therapy techniques that are proven effective in addressing a variety of mental health concerns. Whether you are struggling with Anxiety, Depression, trauma, or parenting I utilize a combination of therapeutic modalities to help you achieve your goals and improve overall well-being.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My approach is supportive, empathetic and, above all, pragmatic. Whether you seek to make a major change, overcome current life stressors, or to break a chronic pattern, I will assist you in meeting your needs.
I often use Cognitive Processing Therapy in my practice which mainly targets PTSD and other related symptoms such as Depression and Anxiety. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CPT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and your experiences in order to find balance between pre- and post-trauma beliefs.
CBT is a type of psychotherapy that helps individuals manage mental and physical health problems by changing the way they think and behave. I support individuals in identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts in order to increase daily functioning.
PCIT is an evidence-based treatment for young children with behavioral problems. PCIT is conducted through "coaching" sessions during which you and your child play while the therapist watches you interact with your child through a one-way mirror and/or live video feed. You wear a "bug-in-the-ear" device through which the therapist provides in-the-moment coaching on skills you are learning to manage your child's behavior. I personally love conducting PCIT via telehealth as it allows the child to be within their home (safe space) where they tend to be themselves the most.
