I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island with over 13 years experience in the field which includes internships, schooling, and positions after college. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief/loss, aging issues, mood disorders, life adjustments, and relational issues. I have experience conducting individual, group, and family therapy on an outpatient basis as well as working at a retirement community.
My counseling style is non-judgemental, warm, and positive. I take a positive and friendly approach and am eager to help my clients improve conditions and reduce symptoms. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is strength based, client centered, and holistic . I am a firm believer in meeting the client where they are at. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
