I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut. Over the last twenty years, I have enjoyed working with children and families in out-patient and school settings and with adults who were struggling with significant mental health concerns as a Partial Hospitalization Program Coordinator and Group Leader. I have experience working with a diverse range of ages and backgrounds, and I often pull from different therapy modalities, tailoring to the unique needs and learning styles for the individual.
Our first session will focus on information gathering and getting to know one another. We will review relevant history before getting into the deeper questions about what is bringing you to therapy while identifying your treatment goals.
The most fundamental principle of DBT is that acceptance and change are compatible! I meet clients where they are- without judgment, but with compassion. I guide clients through their personal challenges and help them develop more effective coping strategies and skills to navigate life's complexities.
