I graduated from UCONN with a bachelor of arts degree in 1991. Soon after I begin working for the state Child Welfare system in 1995. I pursued my graduate studies at UCONN School of Social Work obtaining my Masters degree in 1997. I continued my studies and obtained my license in Clinical Social Work in 2001. I eventually opened my own practice, providing counseling services to children and their families. I started providing supervision in 2003. I eventually returned to Child Welfare and currently hold a position of Program Supervisor. In 2006 I also became employed at an Outpatient Behavioral Health practice providing outpatient therapy. I have continued to build extensive clinical expertise as a psychotherapist throughout that time. I regularly mentor colleagues consult on clinical cases and support professional development. I'm looking forward in continuing to provide clinical supervision, and I'm confident my years of direct clinical experience has strengthening my ability to provide guidance and support.
