Personal Statement :
|
Combining several evidence-based techniques and an engaging interpersonal style, I will help you feel less nervous, sad, empty, upset, frustrated, and /or confused about your life and your relationships.
My engaging style includes listening to you thoroughly, offering support and feedback about what you are saying, and collaboratively establishing and working towards your specific goals.
Additionally, my style is an expression of my commitment to help you achieve balance in your life. This balance is provided in therapy in several ways. First, I will always support your right to make choices, yet I will sometimes be directive so that you can be clear as to how and why you are making decisions. Second, you, like all people, are a thinking, feeling, perceiving, and doing being. I will help you thrive in all areas. Third, there has to be a balanced connection between the work you do in therapy and the life you live outside of my office. To achieve this, I will offer you brief and relevant practice exercises that will be integrated into our ongoing work together.

I began my professional journey in college when I worked as an outreach volunteer for the Northwest AIDS Foundation. I provided community-based HIV/AIDS prevention education in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. This work inspired me to think more globally about HIV/AIDS and in 1995 an opportunity to work in a Romanian orphanage materialized.
My experience in Romanian orphanages clarified my professional path. During my senior year of college, I elected to forgo law school and chose to pursue a master’s degree in clinical social work.
I arrived at Boston University’s School of Social Work in August 1996. In addition to coursework, I interned at Victory House, a residential substance abuse facility for men living with HIV/AIDS and polysubstance abuse issues. I worked individually with 4-5 clients and also facilitated relapse prevention groups, a real love of mine.
During my second year of graduate school, I interned on several in-patient medical and surgical units at Boston’s prestigious Children’s Hospital. There, I provided emotional support and case management services to families.
In the 9 years since I graduated from Boston University, I have intentionally pursued a variety of professional experiences to broaden and deepen my understanding of human change and growth processes.
My professional journey has included work with children and families in specialized foster care, individuals and families in home based hospice care, MSW students and post graduates seeking licensure, and men and women in an outpatient methadone clinic.
Since June 2003, I have maintained a private practice in Windsor, CT.
