New to Grow
I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who uses evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My style is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, goals, and lived experiences. Whether you are managing everyday stress, persistent negative thought patterns, or interpersonal challenges, I aim to provide a supportive space to explore what is holding you back and move forward with intention.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will spend time getting to know one another, discussing what led you to seek therapy, and beginning to outline a plan for future sessions that aligns with your priorities and concerns.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is empathy paired with practical support. I work with clients to reduce symptom burden and distress by offering strategies they can apply in real life, helping therapy feel both meaningful and actionable.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
An ideal client is someone who is motivated for change. I enjoy helping individuals who are new to learning how to manage their mental health or have recently received a diagnosis. I have enjoyed working with individuals who are navigating early adulthood challenges and working to become an even better version of themselves.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to discuss how to work with your thoughts. Talking through difficult situations can be essential in finding a way forward.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT skills are a great evidence based tool to help individuals more effectively manage waves of emotion and impulsivity. It allows someone to take back control over time.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Sometimes when life hits us in waves it feels difficult to keep fighting. ACT helps individuals recognize what is most important and encourages take small steps towards living a life more aligned with those values. This can provide a significant level of relief.
