New to Grow
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in many areas including: anxiety disorders, depression, alcohol/substance use disorders, addiction, relationship concerns, stress management, and self-esteem issues. I am well versed in technology and games to facilitate in understanding and managing this ever-changing world. Therapy is what you want it to be. I am here to provide a relatable and calming environment for someone who is seeking help or even just looking to untangle the many stressors of life.
In our first session, you can tell me briefly about yourself. We do not need to go headfirst into everything. Just start to get to know each other.
My approach is to help you achieve what you want. That does not mean I will sit by, but be an active participant in your growth. That includes working together to find resources, uncover what stops us, and how to overcome certain obstacles.
