New to Grow
With almost 20 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have had the privilege of working across a variety of community service settings, including Geropsych, Hospice, Inpatient Psychiatry and Domestic Violence programs. As part of the military community (retired civilian and dependent), I also understand the challenges that can bring, as well. I accept both private pay and most major insurances. As a Behavioral Therapist, I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but also integrate Mindfulness, Strengths-Based, and Solution-Focused approaches. My therapeutic style is centered around the person—their strengths, ideas, their unique gifts and goals—empowering clients to create positive change through their own choices and boundary setting.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Starting therapy can feel intimidating. Opening up and being vulnerable with someone new isn’t easy, but my hope is that each session leaves you feeling uplifted, encouraged, and more capable of meeting the day’s challenges with confidence and gratitude—no matter what life brings your way.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I’m here to support you in navigating life’s challenges—whether it’s finding solutions to specific problems, building on your strengths, or fostering a deeper sense of self-understanding and control. Through a collaborative and compassionate approach, we’ll work together to create a healthier, more empowered version of you. I am deeply passionate about what I do and am committed to helping individuals make meaningful strides in their lives. It would be a privilege to meet with you, explore your goals, and guide you on your therapeutic journey toward growth and fulfillment.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My work spans adults, children, and military families, including supporting both survivors and alleged offenders of domestic violence. I specialize in personality and mood disorders, aging, marital issues; supporting clients through life transitions. Licensed in Arkansas, North Dakota, Nevada, Massachusetts, Florida and Idaho, I am able to provide therapy to a wide range of individuals with different lifestyles and cultural considerations.
