I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and Clinical Supervisor specializing in trauma-informed, evidence-based care rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My work spans individual psychotherapy, clinical supervision, and organizational consulting, allowing me to support both people and systems in meaningful, sustainable ways.

 

​I am a certified coach in a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skills model developed by Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. I specialize in helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and how to address unhelpful thinking patterns. When we recognize unhelpful thoughts and create new more supportive ones, we can produce healthy habits and uphold a better self-image as well as an improved outlook on life. 

​

I maintain a private psychotherapy practice and have extensive experience providing clinical supervision for MSW students, early-career clinicians, and experienced social workers. Clinical supervision is a deep professional passion of mine. I have provided supervision in traditional clinical settings as well as within a social work unit embedded in a police department, supporting clinicians working in high-stress, high-impact environments.

​

My background includes nonprofit leadership, coaching, and organizational consulting, with a focus on trauma-responsive models, neuroplasticity, and cognitive development in children and adolescents. I partner with organizations to strengthen leadership capacity, staff well-being, and ethical, sustainable systems of care.

 

​In deep commitment to my community, currently I sit on the Board of Directors of Sterling Community Center in Stratford CT, the Board of Directors of HomeBridge Ventures in Bridgeport, CT, I chair the Scholarship Committee of Les Treize, Inc. of the Greater Bridgeport Area, and co-chair the SOUL Fund of Fairfield County Community Foundation.

​

I am also a published co-author in Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work, with the article “Ping-Pong Housing: Women’s Post-Incarceration Trajectories.”
