LCSW, 19 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Georgia. I received my masters degree from Loyola University Chicago’s School of Social Work. My favorite part of this work is helping people through their difficulties and finding contentment in their life. I have worked with young adults, adults and older adults through many phases of life and development. In my 19 years of experience, I feel honored to be called to this work.
In our first session, we will start with what you would like life to look like. We will review the symptoms you have been experiencing and develop a plan to work toward reaching your personal goals.
I see everyone as unique individuals and use my active listening to really hear and see you. In our sessions, I can help separate what your symptoms are and how to use your strengths as your best assets in your healing journey.
I help clients to evaluate their personal development, overcoming traumas and begin to work with their internal resources to make positive change in their life.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, and which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems. In the most basic sense, SFBT is a hope friendly, positive emotion eliciting, future-oriented vehicle for formulating, motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioral change.
Psychodynamic therapy helps people learn to recognize patterns in behavior and relationships. People often develop characteristic ways of responding to problems without really being aware of these tendencies. Learning to spot them, however, can help people find new approaches to coping with problems.
