New to Grow
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker, that has been employed as a clinician and administrator. I have been in the field for over thirty years and maintain the enthusiasm and zest and belief that all have the potential to rise up from difficult circumstances. I work with individuals, couples and families from the ages of 18 to 80 treating all with compassion dignity, and respect.
The therapeutic relationship that is developed will be the cornerstone to healing. You will leave each session feeling safe,, at peace, absent of judgement and validated with the experience that your situation is unique but that you're not alone. I am open to input and welcome feedback as the process works towards renewed happiness.
Everyone's story is unique, and every person deserves an individualized approach to their problems. Initially, I will provide you with a comprehensive psychological evaluation . After the assessment, you and I will be become partners in your therapeutic journey. I can support reinterpreting day-to-day issues that affect your quality of life and sense of self. I will demonstrate with your own life experience how unconscious life altering decisions were made and have created a narrative that has led to unwanted results. The paradigm of your life will be altered and replaced with one that produce results.
Motivational Interviewing
After years on the front lines of social work, I’ve learned that you cannot force someone to modify their behavior—you can only create the conditions where making similar decisions becomes inevitable. I specialize in Motivational Interviewing, a partnership-based approach that helps you uncover your own internal drive to solve your toughest challenges. Whether you are a leader stuck in a rut or an individual facing a crossroads, we’ll work together to turn your 'I can't' into 'of course I can.'"
