New to Grow
I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals in both private and government settings. My practice is grounded in meeting clients exactly where they are and honoring the strengths, values, and lived experiences they bring into the room. I integrate multiple evidence‑based modalities, including EMDR, Strengths-Based approaches, Positive Psychology, and CBT, to create a personalized and effective plan for each person I serve. My work is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth and meaningful change.
Your first session is a structured yet supportive space for us to get to know one another. We will explore what brings you to therapy, review your history, identify your strengths, and discuss your goals at a pace that feels safe and comfortable. Together, we will begin shaping a plan that focuses on improving your quality of life and aligning your care with your personal values and readiness for change.
I am committed to providing compassionate, client-centered care and helping you navigate challenges with clarity, resilience, and confidence.
I’m looking to work with people who are navigating anxiety, life adjustments, or everyday challenges and are ready for a supportive space to sort things out. You don’t have to be in crisis or have everything perfectly figured out—just open to talking through what’s been heavy or confusing lately. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, I’m here to help you slow down, understand what’s going on, and find practical, meaningful steps toward feeling more grounded and balanced.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize patterns in their thoughts and behaviors that may be contributing to current challenges. Through structured, goal‑oriented sessions, we work together to develop more adaptive ways of thinking and responding. This evidence‑based approach emphasizes building practical skills that support meaningful and lasting change.
EMDR
I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process distressing memories and experiences that may be influencing current emotional or behavioral patterns. Through a structured, evidence‑based protocol, we work together to reduce the intensity of past traumatic or overwhelming events so they can be integrated more adaptively. EMDR supports the mind’s natural healing process, helping clients gain relief, build resilience, and experience meaningful, lasting change.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients understand and connect with the different ‘parts’ of themselves that may be holding pain, protection, or unmet needs. Through a gentle and collaborative process, we explore how these parts interact and how they can be supported in moving toward balance and healing. This evidence‑based approach fosters greater self‑compassion, emotional clarity, and internal harmony.
Eclectic
I take an eclectic, integrative approach, drawing from a range of evidence‑based therapeutic modalities to meet each client’s unique needs. By combining tools and perspectives from multiple frameworks, we can tailor our work together in a flexible, responsive way that supports growth from multiple angles. This approach allows therapy to remain adaptive, personalized, and grounded in what is most effective for each individual.
Positive Psychology
I incorporate Positive Psychology to help clients identify and build on their inherent strengths, values, and sources of resilience. Through guided exploration and practical skill‑building, we focus on enhancing well‑being, cultivating optimism, and increasing engagement in meaningful activities. This approach supports clients in expanding their capacity for joy, connection, and personal fulfillment while navigating life’s challenges.
