Introduction

I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) with a degree from Westfield State University with 2 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in trauma-informed care, helping individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, substance use, and relationship dynamics. My approach is strengths-based and client-centered, integrating evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques. Family is a central part of my life, and my experiences with them—especially my grandson—have shaped my understanding of the importance of strong, supportive relationships. I chose this career path because I know how crucial it is to have someone to lean on during difficult times. What drives me is the opportunity to help others rediscover their own strength and build the kind of resilience that fosters meaningful, lasting change.
