LCSW, 4 years of experience
New to Grow
I am licensed in Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with grief, coping with loss, & depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
In our first session, I take time to learn about your history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. I provide a safe and supportive environment where we clarify what brings you in and outline a plan tailored to your needs. Clients can expect a structured yet compassionate conversation that sets the foundation for our work together, while also beginning to identify immediate strategies for relief.
My greatest strengths as a therapist include the ability to integrate multiple evidence-based approaches, such as CBT, ACT, and DBT, in a way that is tailored to each client’s unique needs. I bring extensive experience in addressing complex concerns while fostering a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and collaboration. My clients often note my ability to balance clinical expertise with a warm, approachable style that helps them feel understood, supported, and empowered to make lasting change.
My ideal clients are individuals who are motivated to explore their patterns of thinking, emotions, and behaviors in order to achieve meaningful change. Many of my clients are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship difficulties, and they share a desire for practical tools as well as deeper self-understanding. I work well with clients who value collaboration, honesty, and evidence-based strategies to support their personal growth.
I utilize CBT to assist clients in identifying and restructuring maladaptive thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and ineffective behaviors. By integrating evidence-based interventions, I support clients in developing healthier coping strategies and improving overall functioning.
In my practice, I apply ACT to help clients increase psychological flexibility by fostering acceptance of internal experiences while committing to value-driven behaviors. This approach emphasizes mindfulness, resilience, and alignment with core values to support sustainable change.
I incorporate DBT to address challenges related to emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Through a structured and skills-based approach, I support clients in managing intense emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving relational stability.
