LCSW, 1 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello there! Today, let’s start becoming the best version of you! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience in the human services field. I have worked with clients throughout the lifespan and of all walks of life, however, I have worked primarily with adolescents and young adults with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and issues with adjustment to life stressors. I also have experience working with families experiencing relational issues. My approach is to provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment to encourage safe processing and healing. I am dedicated to helping others navigate the many challenges that present in life and learning how to navigate them. It is my passion to help others feel heard and seen. I am elated to start this journey with you!
We will work together to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment to make you feel safe to explore your emotions and experiences. We will identify therapeutic goals and create an individualized plan for optimizing your wellness. It is my goal to support you in developing coping skills and emotional understanding to promote healing, resilience, and self-empowerment.
I utilize a client-centered approach that focuses on the client's strengths, cultivating coping skills and self-regulation. I take time with clients to build rapport and create a trusting and empowering environment to understand the experiences that have brought them to therapy. I engage clients with talk therapy and evidenced-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
Let's be the change we want to see. I am positioned to serve individuals, couples and families who are in search of meaningful change and assistance in relationship with self and others. I historically work well with those experiencing anxious and depressive symptoms, however, my practice is not limited to those therapeutic areas. I seek to build a strong therapeutic relationship that will allow for the creation of client centered goals and a client focused treatment plan. I want to empower clients to experience the changes they so desire.
I utilize CBT with clients by helping clients to identify thoughts, emotions, and actions to then identify patterns. In identifying those patterns, I help clients to choose to engage in a more desirable way.
With this method, I take the client experiences and reactions into care when assisting client to explore and process providing a safe and supportive environment.
I help families to examine their interactions and promote positive ways for the family to interact and relate to one another.
I assist clients in identifying the clarified problem, what steps need to be taken for the desired outcome and to work toward it.
I assist clients in identifying their emotions and needs in terms of building the relationship with other.
