Licensed Graduate Social Worker

I am a clinician at our Bridgeport clinic who provides therapy services!

An ideal counseling client may struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges rooted in past experiences. They are open to self-exploration and committed to making changes. The client needs emotional validation, insight into their patterns, and practical coping strategies within a trusting therapeutic relationship. Their goals include building self-confidence, improving emotional regulation, and developing healthier relationships and boundaries. Ultimately, they want to feel more in control, live authentically, and break free from repeating harmful patterns. They seek counseling because they are ready to grow and create change in their lives.

As a social worker, I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, build self-esteem, and navigate relationship challenges. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, blending cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and emotional insight work. I focus on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and past experiences. I help clients recognize and shift unhelpful patterns, build healthier self-talk, and develop practical tools for emotional regulation and boundary-setting. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for personal growth, I offer guidance, encouragement, and strategies tailored to your goals. My role is to walk alongside you as you build the confidence and clarity to create meaningful, lasting change.

I want my clients to feel that I truly understand how challenging it can be to ask for help, especially when you’ve spent so long thinking you need to handle everything on your own. You don’t have to bear that burden alone any longer. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers; rather, it’s about creating a space where you can be heard, supported, and encouraged as you navigate life’s challenges at your own pace. I bring compassion, patience, and a genuine dedication to your healing process. You’ll never face judgment for what you’re experiencing; instead, you’ll find unwavering support as you discover your path forward. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for a change, I encourage you to reach out. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey.
