LICSW, 2 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has spent the greater part of my career working with children and families. I enjoy working with teens and helping them to realize their own power and potential. I have worked directly with families in crisis, individuals dealing with trauma and grief, as well as anxiety and depression. My goal is to join in with others and partner with them in their journey. You will find a nonjudgemental environment with a clinician who is not afraid to challenge you and ask the hard questions. I believe that faith and healing go hand in hand. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or simply seeking clarity and purpose, I'm here to help you suit up with tools grounded in both truth and clinical wisdom.
In our first session, we will spend some time getting to know each other. I'll make sure that you know what to expect from me and the process- answering any questions you might have. We will talk about what is going on in your world, how you are feeling, and what you would like to see change. My goal is to create a safe space for you so that you feel comfortable, seen, supported and heard.
I utilize CBT and Solution Focused Therapy therapeutic approaches while also being down to earth and easy to communicate with. Because thoughts, emotions, and actions are connected- often times, small shifts can create big impacts. I believe in keeping things honest, real and practical. I believe that each person has significant value and experiences that shape the way in which they see the world. I believe there is power in how we think of ourselves, our situations, and our future.
Feeling overwhelmed? Tired of overthinking? Feeling like you are not enough? Trying to hold it all together? Need a place to vent, cry, laugh, but also learn practical solutions to these challenges? If your answer is yes, I would love to join with you as you do the work to experience the life you desire. I enjoy working with teens and young adults who are ready to do the work toward clarity, healing, and wholeness.
