New to Grow
As a license clinical social worker specializing in anxiety, depression, attachment and adjustment disorders I have experience from acute settings/inpatient care to outpatient care. As someone who understands how intimidating it can be to begin therapy, I strive to create a warm supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. Taking the first steps towards change can be challenging but with my collaborative approach and integration of CBT, DBT, IFS and holistic techniques tailored to each person's needs.
During the first session you can expect me to focus on getting to know you and gather information that you believe is important and feel comfortable sharing with me. It is also the time to discuss the brief summary of presenting problems and collaborating to set goals/expectations for your sessions.
My approach is holistic in nature to support individuals with various cultural diverse backgrounds. I want your therapeutic space to feel supportive and safe enough to develop collaborative goals.
My ideal client is someone who is ready to being making meaningful changes in their life even if they are unsure where to start. I strive to create a warm, supportive and collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood and empowered. Together we'll explored challenges at a pace that feels comfortable while building practical skills and notable insight. I believe meaningful change takes time and I am committed to supporting client with their journey through compassion and empathy.
Other specialties
I identify as
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With cognitive behavioral therapy, I will support you in understanding unhealthy thinking patterns.
Attachment-based
Our experiences influence the way we interact and build relationships with others. Through attachment work you can learn how to cope, connect and trust others.

IFS therapy supports the idea that we all have different sides to us and when we acknowledge these parts of ourselves, then we can increase curiosity and compassion so that we can develop more balance and confidence.
