New to Grow
Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with a Master's Degree in Social Work and over 20 years of experience in various clinical and non-clinical settings, including hospitals, government agencies, and private practices. My approach emphasizes collaborative partnerships with motivated clients, empowering them to use therapeutic skills and techniques to achieve their goals and move forward.
In our first session, I'll focus on understanding your story and building rapport through active listening, providing feedback, and discussing potential next steps, while reassuring you that solutions are feasible. This initial meeting will be a collaborative exploration to identify your goals and create a supportive therapeutic foundation.
I value all therapeutic approaches and I respect diverse delivery styles. Building rapport is crucial to me, and I appreciate the human side of the therapeutic collaboration. I support clients in identifying and defining realistic objectives within a structured, safe space.
I support individuals at various life stages, focusing on personal growth and helping them overcome challenges. My practice welcomes motivated clients of all ages who are eager to apply their therapeutic insights to their personal growth journey. I focus on readiness for change and self-improvement, partnering with clients as they achieve their goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My approach centers on CBT, offering practical support to help clients connect their thoughts and actions. I integrate solution-focused, supportive, and strength-based therapies in addition to CBT.
