LCSW, 15 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with additional advanced certifications. I have expertise and many years of experience helping clients navigate serious illness, grief and loss, and supporting caregivers. I also specialize in treating individuals who are struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety. I look forward to meeting with you and identifying how I can support your next stage of growth.
In our first session I’ll tell you about myself and my style of therapy. You’ll have the opportunity to talk through the things you’re struggling with and we will decide together if this partnership is a good fit.
I am a practical person and I try to apply my knowledge to your situation in a down-to-earth, practical kind of way. Therapy does not have to be about digging up the past or living in a theoretical world. My strength is in helping you find a clear, functional path forward.
Reaching out for help and support is no small thing. Congratulations on taking that first huge step! Know that I will work with you to create a safe space to explore the ups and downs of your journey. Let’s schedule a time to talk about what’s going on and see if we are a good fit.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. In many studies, CBT has been demonstrated to be as effective as, or more effective than, other forms of psychological therapy or psychiatric medications.
