My educational background includes my Bachelors in Social Work from Central Connecticut State University. My Masters in Social Work from Fordham University in New York. I currently hold my L.M.S.W in Social Work. I have working experiences with mental health, working with children (ages from 5-18) with DMDD (disruptive mood dysregulation disorder), PTSD, Schizoaffective Disorder and severe behaviors. I am currently working as a substance use counselor.

 

When people are exposed to trauma or tremendous difficulties in life, their quality of life frequently disintegrate. My biggest passion is to assist people in healing after a traumatic or difficult challenging events.  I empower my clients, whom include children, adults, and families, discover healthy solutions for themselves and enhance their relationships so that they may recognize themselves as tranquil, whole, complete, and safe.

 

I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, and so I have been trained in a range of modalities including CBT, Family System Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Motivational interviewing, Empowerment and Self-Determination, and Play Therapy.
