Biography
I value a positive, respectful working relationship that fosters trust and consistency in personal growth. I use a Person-Centered approach, meeting each individual where they are and tailoring therapy to their unique qualities. I create a safe, confidential space and focus on building resiliency and confidence while validating experiences, challenging stuck thinking, and exploring overlooked aspects of the self that impact current struggles. I begin by understanding a client's history, concerns, and goals, collaborating to identify attainable objectives. I ensure scheduling is clear to support consistency and offer flexible session structures based on client needs. I guide clients in developing symptom management skills while fostering personal insight and growth throughout the therapeutic process.
I began my career in Outreach, supporting the Adult Mental Health population with substance use, housing, and medication management. I earned my MSW from Westfield State University and have served as a Case Manager, Assistant Program Manager, and Outpatient Clinician. I have facilitated support groups for individuals 55+ and Adult Children of Alcoholics, with extensive expertise in Trauma-Focused Therapy and Crisis Management.
