New to Grow
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who strongly believes in therapeutic rapport with my clients. I have experience working in multiple different settings that has enhanced my understanding of the uniqueness of every client. I have worked with individuals presenting with multiple different concerns, and value each experience every client brings to therapy. I have worked with individuals across many different cultures and backgrounds, and strive to build meaningful relationships with all of my clients.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, my goal is to get an understanding of your experiences that have brought you to therapy. I strive to collect information on your life experiences that will feed into developing and understanding of life circumstances, and your perspective of the world. We will discuss topics such as past treatment history, relationships, significant life experiences, and goals for treatment. During this process, I strive to make this process the most accessible and comfortable experience to assist you in achieving your goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths as a therapist come from my diverse understanding of the world, and collective experiences with clients. I am open-minded, non-judgmental, and carry empathy and kindness for each and every one of my clients. I am always willing to listen and explore with clients, and this creates a deeper therapeutic relationship that is held with high regard throughout the process of therapy.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I most often work with individuals experiencing struggles with topics such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, drug & alcohol issues, trauma, personality disorders, codependency, and life transitions. I operate from a strengths-based approach to empower clients to achieve their desired treatment goals.
Eclectic
My priority for treatment with every client begins with acknowledging and upholding client experiences. I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space for us to explore the current presenting issues, and work through the root cause of more complex issues. Much of my work is defined by assisting clients in experiencing positive change in their lives, in whatever form that may look like. My goal in working with you is to assist in your healing journey, and provide the resources and tools needed to be your authentic self, and foster change. Therapy is not a 'one-size-fits-all' model; therefore treatment approaches will look different for every client.
