New to Grow
As a Doctor of Social Work and a dual-certified clinician in both DBT (Linehan Board) and CBT (Beck Institute). I am passionate about helping couples and the parents of children who experience intense emotions as well. I am the creator and developer of Family Systems Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (FS-DBT), a model designed to address complex family dynamics alongside individual growth. My approach is rooted in "beginning with the end in mind." Shortly after our first meeting, we will collaborate on a comprehensive, practical plan designed to point you and your family toward your specific goals. My focus is on helping clients move away from destructive patterns and toward a life built on personal values. I offer specialized individual psychotherapy and real-time phone coaching to ensure skills are applied when they are needed most. I am passionate about helping parents help their children and adolescents. And I would love to meet you!!!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our firsts session we will likely discuss the problems that you feel you are having today. Any immediate problems that you need to address. I will likely ask you questions about the goals that you have for therapy.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am candid validating and I often give assignments and at each session I assess what is working and what is not.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Throughout the years I have done parent coaching for a lot of mothers who are interested in new ways to parent. I am well positioned to serve those with intense emotions such as parents, couples, families, adolescents and young adults.
