New to Grow
I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 35 years of experience. I have a health care background working in the medical field working with individuals and their families. Sometimes life brings us challenges we aren't always prepared for. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship issues, work related issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and life transitions. I provide support to my clients and help them to develop better coping mechanisms. Through therapy, I will encourage you to work toward your goals in order to reach your highest potential.
I provide in person or telehealth sessions in a private safe compassionate environment. We will work collaboratively as a team to identify your own personal goals, strengths, and develop a plan for frequency of our sessions.
I use a compassionate and client centered approach. I treat each of my clients and their families individually. I will introduce Cognitive behavioral therapy as an approach to taking responsibility and controlling our own actions. We will explore how other individuals behaviors. affect us and what we can do individually to change them.
I work with clients over the age of 16 , Young professionals, middle age and older adults who are all experiencing life transitions. Sessions will be focused on goal oriented tasks and setting realistic boundaries. Client's should be motivated for therapy and willing to do the necessary work. We will address individual concerns and work toward realistic therapy goals together.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We will explore your thoughts and feelings helping you to identify your individual behaviors and how they effect those around you. We are often unable to control other peoples behaviors around us but will learn how to take greater responsibility for our own. Over time we will work on accepting responsibility for your own actions and work on setting healthy boundaries.
Compassion Focused
I use a compassionate and client centered approach. I encourage each client to identify their own personal strengths, and develop effective treatment strategies that align with your individual goals that will help you to find a healthier, happier quality of life.
