New to Grow
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 19 years of experience. I find great interest helping those that suffer from anxiety, depression, relationship problems, adjustments, and unresolved trauma. I also have compassion working with individuals with acute and chronic medical conditions. I am trained in the areas of Perinatal Mental Health and Gambling Addictions. I have experience working with children/adolescents, adults, and older adults in both the public sector and medical settings.
I believe in providing a safe space, free of any judgement, which is essential when building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I am here to serve as your guide towards self-discovery and self-reflection.
In my practice, I usually gravitate towards identifying core beliefs that are deep rooted and impact daily functioning. Interventions are derived from Cognitive Behavior Therapy modalities. However, interventions are tailored to what is best fitting to promote positive change. I allow individuals to work at their own pace, yet when appropriate, I may be more directive/structured in order to push through emotional barriers/blockage.
