New to Grow
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker , I support adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and emotional regulation challenges. My approach combines practical skill-building with insight-oriented work to help clients feel more confident, balanced, and in control of their lives. I strive to create a collaborative and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore personal growth and make meaningful, lasting change.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize how their thoughts and experiences influence emotions and daily behaviors. In our work together, clients and I explore patterns that may be keeping them stuck and develop practical tools to help them feel more balanced, confident, and in control. I tailor CBT techniques to each client's unique goals and strengths.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness-based techniques to help clients develop greater awareness of thoughts and emotions while learning to respond with intention rather than reaction. Together, we practice skills that support stress reduction, and increase self-compassion in everyday life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use Dialectical Behavior (DBT) strategies to help clients strengthen emotional regulation, navigate difficult situations, and improve communication in relationships. Together, we practice practical skills that support resilience, self-awareness, and healthier responses to stress and overwhelming emotions.
