About My Clients
My ideal client is someone who is ready to tackle life’s challenges with support and guidance. This includes individuals facing anxiety, depression, or trauma who are looking for a compassionate space to explore their feelings and develop effective coping strategies. I also work with couples experiencing relational conflicts, aiming to improve communication and strengthen their relationships.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in the field. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Boston College, where I developed a strong foundation in therapeutic techniques and client care. My extensive background includes working with individuals, couples, and families to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational conflicts. My approach is holistic and eclectic, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. This experience allows me to provide personalized, effective support to help clients navigate their challenges and achieve their therapeutic goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe deeply in the power of empathy, inclusivity, and empowerment in therapy. My commitment extends beyond my clinical practice; I actively support and advocate for mental health awareness and cultural competence. I am an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and work to ensure that my practice is welcoming and affirming for all clients. In addition to my professional work, I volunteer with local organizations focused on mental health support and community well-being. I am passionate about reducing stigma around mental health and promoting access to quality care for marginalized groups. Outside of work, I enjoy activities that help me stay connected and grounded, including working out, cooking, and spending time with my family. Fluent in Cape Verdean Creole, I value cultural diversity and am dedicated to providing a therapeutic environment that respects and incorporates each client's unique background. My goal is to support you in a way that feels genuine and aligned with your values.
