Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Connecticut. I received my Masters from Southern Connecticut State University and have been in the helping field for over 10 years. My passion is helping adults reach their full potential and live a more fulfilling life. I have worked with people from all walks of life. I currently work in the substance abuse field helping adults work toward recovery goals at an outpatient unit after many years of home-based human service work. I have learned that over the years in the helping field, this work gets more fulfilling as you allow yourself to experience other areas in this field. I take pride in the work I do everyday as i'm able to help people reach their goals and I hope to continue doing this using this online platform.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session will focused on getting to know you and learn what you're looking to get out of therapy such talking about goals. This session will also will give you the chance to know a little more about me as well and start the building rapport stage.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider my greatest strengths are my ability to connect with individuals in a nonjudgemental way and provide a space where they can feel safe. Being vulnerable and opening up to someone is extremely hard so I take my work seriously. With that in mind, I strive to provide my clients a space where they can trust and want to come back.
