I am specialized in motivational interviewing to gauge your readiness to change, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, also known as CBT. I also have experience with mindfulness meditation. In addition, I am specifically licensed as an alcohol and drug counselor with years of experience within the field. And if you have found yourself dealing with anxiety or depression, I can be of service as well. With my nonjudgmental, multicultural, and positively encouraging approach, we can work together on this journey of rediscovery and recovery in spite of life’s obstacles. YOU are the center and main focus in therapy, and the collaborative approach will successfully assist you to achieve the change you are hoping for. I am also accepting new supervisees in the State of Connecticut looking to obtain licensure as an LPC or LADC.
I believe that everyone needs support throughout their life span in order to be the best version of themselves. The greatest challenge to seeking support is dealing with the stigma of how therapeutic counseling is perceived. It is my focus to create an inviting, safe, and caring environment for each of my clients to unburden themselves, to address their stress/trauma, and to begin the healing process.
I seek to create an inviting and safe environment for each client who desires to engage in a therapeutic relationship. In person or virtually, you will encounter a welcoming space where the client will be encouraged to safely express their truth, ultimately identifying and formulating a clinical approach, working towards meeting the needs of the client.
I am a dedicated Licensed Master’s Level Social Worker with extensive experience supporting youth and families in both clinical and community settings. My career has been defined by a deep commitment to providing evidence-based counseling and case management to individuals facing challenges such as homelessness, behavioral issues, and family transitions.
I strive to create a safe, structured, and supportive environment where my young clients feel empowered to navigate their immediate needs and develop long-term stability.
My ideal population is children aged 5-15 years of age
