LCSW, 18 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a Clinical Social Worker and Therapist that holds a Masters and PhD ABD in social work and a MFA in non-fiction writing. I look to support my clients in a caring and respectful way. I also hold a certificate in Psychoanalytical Psychotherapy as well as Narrative Medicine. My vast education allows me to better navigate issues to more resolve while also keeping in mind each client's strength and resilience and inner shine.
In our first session we will navigate to what is most pressing while keeping in mind surrounding issues.
Clients often appreciate the questions that I have for them which are designed to dig deeper and truly define their feelings, thoughts or experiences, therefore coming to a stronger understanding and better resolve.
I am best fit to serve clients who are willing to embark the journey of releasing shame that they may feel for experiences or struggles that they may have. I look to empower my clients into taking issues with stride and understanding and feeling that they can work along issues and they do not define them. Our goal is feel empowered that their strengths and authentic story of each client can transcend through and create a narrative that feels more comfortable and one they can feel pride in.
With narrative therapy, we together find the most suitable "story" or "word" that authentically represents the situation or circumstance that a client is struggling with. The authentic story helps the client feel understood and empowered to have a brighter future ahead.
