I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of CT with over 17 years of experience in social work. I have worked in a wide array of settings including therapeutic mentoring, child welfare, hospital/organ transplant and chronic illness/healthcare. My skills are eclectic as no two people are alike and their stories vary greatly. I have a lot of experience with anxiety/depression, end of life, caregiver issues, life changes and the different challenges that come with each stage of life.
My counseling style is flexible and client centered. I enjoy solution focused or goal oriented therapy as I feel relationship building is often aided by accomplishing something together. I am really open to meeting the client where they are at and developing a plan with the client's goals in mind. I also have experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Needing support should never be a shameful experience. I believe everyone deserves someone kind and unbiased to offer support and encouragement as we navigate our lives.

She really cares which is a hell of a lot more than most therapists. She's very knowledgeable and helpful and addresses the problems I see as opposed to the ones she may see.
