My Approach to Helping
As a Licensed Master’s Level Social Worker (LMSW) in Connecticut, I bring three years of experience in the field, fueled by a deep passion for helping others. After graduating from Central Connecticut State University in 2017 with a B.A. in Psychological Sciences, I earned my Master’s degree from Springfield College in May of 2020. My journey into the mental health field was driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact on individuals' lives.
I strongly believe that reaching out for help requires immense courage and strength. My approach is rooted in empathy, allowing me to create strong therapeutic alliances with my clients and guide them towards a place of peace. Being a veteran myself, I have a unique understanding and connection with fellow veterans, whom I work with during the day. In my free time, I am dedicated to helping people from all backgrounds.
My experience spans working with clients across the lifespan, from children to older adults, and addressing a variety of issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My therapeutic practice includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and a Strength-Based, Trauma-Focused, Culturally Sensitive, person-centered approach.
My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges and develop the skills needed for healing and growth. By integrating these therapeutic techniques, I strive to empower my clients to navigate their lives with greater resilience and authenticity.
