LCSW, 5 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello! I am Jenny, a graduate of University of South Florida. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. I am passionate, trauma informed, and I hope to bring warmth and authenticity to our sessions. I am ready to meet you where you are and work together to cultivate your dreams.
At our first session, I am primarily looking to understand you and your preferences, and support you in focusing your goals for therapy. I am aiming to learn about your expectations and I will share a bit about myself and as you learn my style, we will see if we might be the right fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you!
I believe my strengths are in building a relationship, understanding, validating and helping clients realize their potential. I utilize evidence-based modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and the Gottman Method.
I am particularly focused in working with adults, especially those struggling with relationship issues. I am passionate about supporting my client's in fostering self-validation and interpersonal efficacy for fulfilling relationships. I look forward to working with you individually, as a couple or family.
As a DBT trained therapist, DBT is at the root of and ubiquitous throughout my practice. I utilize more or less DBT depending on your needs and preferences. Other interventions we may use together are diary cards for increasing insight and when accountability is a target issue. We may use mindfulness training to increase awareness of thoughts and behavior patterns, and skills training to understand and improve value based behaviors.
