I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut with 8 plus years of professional therapeutic work direct client experience. I have over 15 years experience in the social services field, and have worked with children of all ages, teens (ages 13-18), adults, couples, families, and elder adults. I have experience in helping clients with stress, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, parenting, and relationship difficulties. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I consider myself kind, compassionate, and open minded. I try to get to know my clients and utilize strengths based and solution focused therapy to help empower them. I will however, tailor our dialog and treatment planning / goals, to meet a persons unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling, happier life and to open up to someone you just have met-especially online. I recognize this and appreciate that this process may be difficult, as is working towards change. I want to be here to support you, and empower you through that journey, so you can reach your goals.
