New to Grow
Veteran and dedicated social worker with 13 years of professional experience, including specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Experienced in supporting individuals managing depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, and stress by building practical coping skills and resilience. Having worked closely with veterans and their families, I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges they may face. I provide compassionate, client-centered care, using attentive listening and a collaborative, problem-solving approach to meet clients where they are and support meaningful change.
During the first Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) session, clients can expect a supportive and welcoming environment where we begin getting to know one another. We will discuss what brought you to therapy, your current challenges, and what goals you hope to achieve. I will ask questions to better understand your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and any patterns that may be contributing to stress, anxiety, depression, or other concerns. Together, we will begin identifying possible triggers and explore how CBT can help develop practical coping strategies. The first session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and determine if the approach feels comfortable and supportive for you.
My greatest strengths are compassion and empowerment. I take an attentive, client-centered approach, carefully listening to each person’s needs and experiences. I help clients identify triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and work through challenges while recognizing their own strengths and abilities. My goal is to empower clients to build resilience and make meaningful progress in their lives
I work well with individuals who want change but are not certain how to move forward or the first steps to take on the healing journey. I have experience with various populations and I am able to help find positive outcomes during the challenges that life can bring. I enjoy helping others navigate their way towards being able to better manage the symptoms we encounter while living our lives.
