New to Grow
I am a licensed clinical social worker who has a passion for helping those of us who suffer with mental health issues. I have worked with people from all walks of life and with all mental health disorders. My whole goal as a therapist is to teach you the skills necessary to manage your mental health condition so that you can become empowered to lead the life that you desire. Essentially, it is my job to put myself out of business by teaching you the tools that will help you to no longer need a therapist.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, I will explore what brought you to treatment, the history of what you have been experiencing, contributing factors, and what strengths you have that may assist you in leading a more stable life. We will look to identify, discuss, and agree on treatment plan goals that you will help develop to help you to gain clarity on what to expect from our work together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am an excellent listener who has a talent to explain complicated issues and approaches in an understandable and easily applicable way. I meet my clients where they are at, providing tailored therapy that they will be interested in participating in.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are those who are motivated for change. I treat clients from all walks of life and from ages 12-99. I am an expert in the treatment of substance use disorders and I have work for years treating those who have moderate to severe mental health issues that often sabotage my clients lives.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have been using DBT to treat patients since 2022. This therapeutic modality helps clients to learn to cope with distress, regulate their emotions, improve their interpersonal effectiveness, and grow spiritually.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Learn how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected and how to break that chain that continues to sabotage your life and relationships.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
This treatment is for those who have experienced trauma in their lives that may be affecting them now.
