Education
University at Buffalo , Master of Social Work, Clinical Social Work, 2015 — As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I completed a Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW), which included both classroom training and supervised clinical experience. My education focused on evidence-based approaches to mental health treatment, including assessment, therapy, and support for individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. In addition to coursework, I completed extensive fieldwork providing therapy in clinical and community settings, giving me hands-on experience in supporting clients with diverse needs. This foundation allows me to combine professional knowledge with compassionate, practical care to meet each client where they are.
