New to Grow
Hello! I am a master’s level licensed independent social worker. I obtained my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from The Ohio State University. I’ve been in the field nearly 5 years. I believe in supporting and encouraging others to create their ‘life worth living’ and achieve their therapy goals. I believe in access to quality mental health care for all individuals.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In your first session, I will focus on gathering a history of symptoms. Typically I will ask numerous questions to get to know you and why you are seeking services at this time.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I utilize CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), motivational interviewing and solution focused therapy to assist clients in achieving their goals and healing.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I strive to help all individuals in the healing process by providing comfortable, supportive and nonjudgmental care.I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm behaviors, suicidal ideation, and obsessive compulsive disorder. I’d love to help you overcome challenges and reach your goals. We all have obstacles to overcome and goals to reach, big and small. Please, feel free to reach out and schedule an assessment!
