New to Grow
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker LCSW based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma-related disorders, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to assist my clients in making progress and feeling better. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I use evidence-based modalities to assist clients in learning how to cope with difficulties and challenges in their lives.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we'll talk about how you've been feeling, your current stressors, and your strengths. I'll ask questions to understand your life and what changes you'd like to see. This is a place for you to share openly about what's different now and what you hope for.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Together, we will identify and set goals that are important to you and your well-being. Whether it be improving relationships, improving self-esteem, coping with challenges, or processing trauma. We can review and adapt our plan any time during our sessions together. I want you to feel comfortable, supported, and heard throughout the therapeutic relationship.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I have experience working with adults who suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance abuse, and self-esteem struggles. I work with my clients to navigate difficult transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better and develop a toolbox of skills.
