Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, based in Connecticut. I received my Master’s Degree from Florida Atlantic University and have been practicing since 2018. , I have been working in a range of capacities; outpatient, child welfare, addiction treatment facility, nursing homes and extended day treatment programs for children. I have worked with wide range of ages from 3 to 101 years old. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels.

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

In the first session you can expect introduction, and to be able to share what your goals and hopes for therapy will be. You will be able to share about experiences, barriers and challenges and we will create a plan together for how we will achieve your goals.

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

I believe that empathy and understanding are crucial to assisting others. Many times people may feel that they are not heard and are worried about being judged when trying to express their thoughts and feelings and about their experiences. I feel that we often times do not feel we are able to speak to others about our experiences as they may try to impose their own beliefs or solve the problems for us. In my practice I believe that we have our own answers within us, we are our own experts and know what is possible for ourselves. I am here to provide support, validate, and to listen and through that you will be capable of sorting through your thoughts, boundaries and barriers to find answers and solutions for your own self.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My clients are eager to improve but may not feel they have the tools to accomplish their goals.
