New to Grow
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina with 5 years of professional licensed work experience. I have been working with children, adults, and families for thirty-one years. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am here to help you if I can.
At our first session, we will review your current situation and start building a professional relationship. We will identify needs and start working on potential goals. Throughout the session and in future sessions, I will meet you in a supportive and empathetic manner.
I am a human first and a therapist second. I believe in being kind and supportive when helping people through challenging times in their lives. I will listen to you, guide you, provide skills, and encourage you to become the best version of yourself in a safe, nonjudgmental environment.
Although I have worked with children, adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults in my career, I have an interest in working with all age of adults. I am interested in working with adults who are seeking help in navigating obstacles in their lives. I partner with the individuals or couples to set goals and work together with them to achieve their goals in a supportive, skill building environment.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT skills to help the client to identify how their thoughts and beliefs affect their feelings and behavior. Clients are then taught coping skills that they can apply to their lives to help them gain back control of their lives.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
There are ACT skills that are utilized in combination with CBT skills to help the client learn how to accept their thoughts and feelings without trying to avoid them. The client is taught skills to accept and become empowered to move forward in their lives.
Grief Therapy
Clients suffering a loss are assisted with multiple skills and techniques to help them cope with loss and to work through the grief process.
