New to Grow
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey, I bring over a decade of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, family dynamics, trauma recovery, and grief counseling. I have experience working with adolescents and adults in various behavioral health settings. I enjoy making connections, building a rapport, and seeing goals turn into reality.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in cultural sensitivity and personal empowerment. I understand that healing is a unique journey, and I strive to create a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for growth. I will get to know you and learn about your history and goals in order to help you navigate your future. We will establish expectations for moving forward through this process.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am committed to providing culturally responsive care that honors each individual's lived experience and identity. Whether you're struggling with stress, processing past trauma, or seeking support through life transitions, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine understanding and professional expertise. I like to use a solution-focused, client=centered, conversational style approach with my clients.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with clients to uncover their inherent strengths and resilience. My goal is to support you if you need to understand your emotional patterns, build coping skills, and/or move towards a more balanced, fulfilling life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I help clients notice how their thoughts affect how they feel and act, and we work on making those patterns more helpful.
Motivational Interviewing
I use motivational interviewing to help clients explore their goals and strengthen motivation for change.
Strength-Based
I take a strengths-based approach, highlighting each client’s skills, values, and personal strengths as part of the therapeutic process.
