About 20 years ago I was going through a difficult time in my life and a therapist said to me “you matter!”. I truly believe that everyone is doing the best they can, “you matter”. Life can be hard. My strength-based, compassionate, and collaborative approach can help support you during these difficult times. I am a retired US Navy Submariner turned Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience working with all ages, families, and couples. I have worked in a variety of settings to include, crisis management, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient. I am a CT Licensed Clinical Social Worker, RI Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, ME Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MA Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I can offer individual, family, couples, and group therapy. (Couples counseling is in person and self-pay only. Sessions are 2 hours in length.)
