Great to meet you!

Hello! Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been treating clients for over 20+ years. I strongly believe the first step to recovery is acknowledging the need to ask for help. So congratulations! You did it!. You will not be disappointed as I come with energy, humor and an empathic flavor that will make your self care experience with me a truly satisfying journey.

A bit about my approach to therapy

What will you expect from me during our engagement.

I believe the first step to engaging in a positive relationship with you is establishing positive rapport. It is important to me that you feel safe and comfortable at all times while sharing your very special story. I expect honesty and respect at all times and will be you cheerleader as you thrive throughout your mental health journey.

What you can expect from our first session

My approach to our sessions.

During the first few sessions, I would like to allow us both an opportunity to get to know each other at your pace. My goal is to establish a safe and secure talking environment for you to be able to open up freely about your story. I would like to be your partner in helping to identify realistic goals that you can achieve as we forge a positive collaboration.
