What should a new client know about working with you?
As an LMSW, I help individuals find calm, clarity, and confidence as they navigate anxiety, depression, and various emotional challenges. I hold a Master of Social Work degree from Westfield State University and have established a strong foundation through years of experience in crisis response, outpatient therapy, and community mental health. This experience enables me to support individuals facing various forms of anxiety, depression, and life changes with empathy, insight, and practical tools for personal growth.
I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness, and culturally responsive trauma-focused care, to support clients in enhancing emotional regulation, reducing distress, and increasing a sense of control over their mental health.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe in sharing knowledge and empowering you throughout your therapeutic journey. I begin with a free 15-minute consultation to understand your goals. If my services align with your needs, we will discuss and explore the challenges you are facing. Together, we will establish treatment goals and determine the frequency of sessions.
If you or a loved one is struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, self-esteem, trauma, or OCD, please know that you are not alone. I warmly invite you to contact me. Together, we can navigate this journey towards wellness. Healing begins with a conversation. Let's talk!
