New to Grow
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to children, adolescents and adults. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting individuals and families through a wide range of emotional, behavioral and life challenges. My approach is warm and collaborative and client-centered. I strive to create a non-judgmental environment where clients feels safe, respected and understood. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where every individual feels heard and empowered. I am committed to helping clients to achieve their personal goals.
During our first session, we ill spend time getting to know one another. I will ask questions about what brought you to therapy, any current concerns, ask about personal history and what your goals you are hoping to achieve. I will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. We will begin to identify some personal strengths, talk about some personal goals and develop a plan to meet those goals. I look forward to working with you and assisting you toward growth and greater well-being.
With more than 25 years of clinical experience, I bring a depth of knowledge and clinical expertise to each session. I believe in supporting ones life journey. I help clients identify personal strengths and develop skills and techniques that they can use in their everyday life. I believe you will appreciate my non-judgmental genuine approach. I will ask thoughtful questions and provide honest feedback. I will build a trusting therapeutic relationship where one feels accepted and respected.
I enjoy working with someone who is ready to invest in their personal growth and well-being and have the willingness to explore their experiences with honesty and openness. I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking a supportive space to learn about themselves and work on positive change. I value clients who are willing to fully engage in the therapeutic process, learn new skills and work toward meaningful goals. My hope is for clients to be open to self-reflection and make a commitment to taking steps toward growth.
