ABOUT ME
As a licensed clinical social worker, I strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for you. A space that is judgement free and where you have the ability to truly express yourself.
Since opening my practice, my therapeutic services have helped people get through stressful times through challenging negative thoughts and understanding the source of specific behaviors and emotional patterns. With the right tools and a better approach to situations, I will help encourage a better outlook on any issues that life brings your way.
My expertise lies in working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I have extensive experience working in the school system at both the middle and high school levels. As well as experience working with adolescents and adults suffering from an array of mental health issues in intensive out patient settings.
In my practice I strive to provide a space where you play an equal role in the therapy process. I feel it is important for you to be the sole narrator of your story, while I am here to provide you with the safety, comfort, and guidance you need to tell your story.
TESTIMONIALS

“When I was 16, I started seeing Salvatrice for my severe depression and anxiety. I had seen therapists before her, and never felt comfortable. But when I met her, I knew that we clicked. She immediately understood me and took the time to listen and help me as I finished school. I abruptly had to stop seeing her when I went to college, and it was years before I realized my anxiety was getting very bad again and I knew I needed help. Salvatrice really stood out to me, and I couldn't imagine seeking out help from anyone else. I decided to send her an email, and to my surprise, she had opened a private practice very close to my college! I was ecstatic to see her again, knowing I wouldn't have to start fresh with someone new. Despite years apart, she remembered a lot of details about me.
Salvatrice has helped me to realize my value as a person and has helped me to foster positive relationships with friends, family, and romantic partners. I am very grateful to have found her, and for the support she has provided me over the past 7 years.”

“Salvatrice is incredible, understanding, considerate and kind. Thanks to her, I feel as though I always have the proper guidance I need to persevere. I have more clarity in my life and better confidence in my own capabilities. I recommend her 1000 times over.”

“Salvatrice helped to lead my daughter out of a very dark time. She taught my daughter coping and communication skills to deal with her anxiety and depression. When I think back on last year, my daughter seems like a different person now, she is so much more confident and secure. I think Salvatrice was instrumental in my daughter's transformation.
Salvatrice has a very youthful, but wise presence. She really knew how to draw my daughter out of her shell. She also has helped me a lot as a parent. I've called her to talk about my reactions to my daughter and she helped me figure out better parenting strategies. The pandemic was very hard on us all mentally, and Salvatrice has helped us communicate better, working with my daughter to invite both parents into therapy, so that she could confront us about issues in a safe environment. Sally has really been a godsend to us. “
