About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Connecticut. I have over 15+ years experience. My expertise includes working with children, adolescents and adults in an outpatient setting who have experienced depression, anxiety, self harm, drug/alcohol use, behavioral issues, prenatal and postpartum depression, as well as family conflict, employment issues, self-esteem issues and intellectual/developmental disabilities. I have a diverse background working with individuals from various cultures. I utilize a person-centered approach, and use a non-judgmental and empathetic approach to my counseling.

Feel free to contact me so we can talk about your counseling needs.
