New to Grow
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the states of Tennessee and New York. Starting therapy can be scary but I believe healing and growth are possible. I am here to support your goals and help you achieve the best version of you! I welcome you to begin this therapeutic journey together.
Starting therapy can be intimidating and that is why you want to find someone who is the right fit for you! During our first session we discuss what brought you to therapy and the goals you are looking to achieve during our time together. We will complete intake paperwork and create a treatment plan. We will discuss your past, present, and about your planned future!
No two people are the same. Therefore I use a person centered approach with a mix of different treatment modalities such as CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, and MI. Each session I will bring different skills that may be needed for that day. I will sometimes be direct and challenge you, all while being supportive in a collaborative space.
I have over six years of social work experience, working mostly in crisis, de-escalation, and substance use. This allows me to work with a wide range of different mental health diagnoses. I offer telehealth therapy to adults 18 years old and older and I specialize in those who may struggle with suicidal ideations, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Mood Disorders and/or anxiety.
I ustilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will work collaboratively to identify patterns, coping skills, and work toward success. CBT works best with anxiety and depression disorders.
I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help clients manage their emotions, impulsivity, and distress tolerance. We may use mindfulness techniques and other skills. DBT skills work well with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Mood Disorders, and self harm tendencies.
When using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) we work on short term specific goals. We will identify the issue at hand, your strengths, goals, and pave the way to achieve them.
