New to Grow
I am a social worker who has worked as a therapist since 2018. I have worked in hospitals and outpatient clinics. I take a partnership approach to identifying ways to assist you in the change you seek. I am passionate about my work which is why I have been motivated to take on private clients while maintaining full-time employment. I pride myself in the quality of care that I provide to the smaller caseload that I manage in my private work.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session will be an opportunity for us to learn about each other. I will ask questions with a greater range than you expect to better understand and assist you as I take a holistic approach to treatment.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths include active listening and compassion. You will notice this over time as I ask follow up questions about events in your life and consider different treatment options as changes occur during your time working with me.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is open to reflecting upon themself with the goal of making change. You may also find yourself in need of assistance with building self-esteem or even a new identity for yourself as you grow and change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use cognitive behavioral skills to assist clients in understanding the connection between their thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms including but not limited to anxiety and anger.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT skills in conjunction with CBT skills. DBT skills give us common language terms to use to understand coping skills. These skills are highly effective with those who struggle with decision making and seeing "the gray area" during conflict.
