Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ, and have been working in the social services field for approximately six years. During this time, I’ve had the privilege of gaining experience across a variety of settings, including child welfare, non-profit organizations, intensive residential treatment programs for children, veteran’s services program, and women’s homeless shelters.

In a first session with me, clients can expect a conversational, personalized, and supportive interaction where I focus on understanding their needs and goals. Here’s what typically happens: Establishing rapport, Clarifying goals, Identifying challenges, Assessing strengths and resources, Introducing tools and strategies, and next steps for future sessions. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, collaborative atmosphere where you feel empowered to work toward positive change.

Clients can likely expect to leave sessions with:

1. A Sense of Validation: Feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

2. Practical Tools: Strategies tailored to their unique needs for managing challenges and improving their well-being.

3. Clarity: Insight into their emotions, behaviors, and patterns, helping them navigate their circumstances more confidently.

4. Hope and Empowerment: A renewed sense of possibility and motivation to make positive changes.
