New to Grow
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space for you to explore what you’re going through in life. I believe your mental and emotional well-being are just as important as your physical health, and I’m here to support you with empathy, understanding, and genuine care to improve your overall well-being with care, respect, and understanding.
During your first session, you can expect a supportive and welcoming space where we begin getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, any concerns or challenges you’re currently facing, and what you hope to gain from our work together and how I can best support you reach goals for therapy.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in medical and behavioral health settings, I bring a compassionate, strengths-based approach to supporting clients through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and major life transitions. I am skilled in building strong therapeutic rapport and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. My clinical approach integrates evidence-based practices to help clients strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and work toward meaningful, achievable goals.
I work with adults 18+ who are navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, health challenges, and relationship concerns. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed or stuck, and are looking for clarity, balance, and practical ways to move forward. Using approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, I help you identify patterns, build on your strengths, and develop tools to manage emotions and improve daily functioning. Together, we focus on your goals—whether that’s feeling more in control, improving relationships, or adjusting to life’s changes. My style is supportive, collaborative, and down-to-earth, creating a space where you can feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful change.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core, evidence-based approach in my clinical practice. My work is based in the understanding that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, and that identifying and restructuring unhelpful thinking patterns can lead to meaningful emotional and behavioral change. I take a client-centered and culturally responsive approach, tailoring CBT interventions to meet each individual’s unique needs, life experiences, and treatment goals. I also emphasize skill-building and empowerment, equipping clients with tools they can apply outside of sessions to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions more effectively. My experience working with individuals facing chronic medical conditions and complex life stressors allows me to integrate CBT strategies in a compassionate and holistic way, supporting both emotional well-being and overall quality of life.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients move toward meaningful change in a supportive and practical way. I believe that even during difficult seasons, people already carry strengths, resilience, and pieces of the solution within them—we just work together to bring those into focus. In our sessions, I’ll gently guide you to identify what’s working, explore moments when things feel even a little better, and build from there. We’ll talk about what you want your life to look like and take small, realistic steps toward that vision. I often use simple, thoughtful questions to help you gain clarity, shift perspective, and feel more confident in your ability to handle challenges. My style is collaborative, encouraging, and down-to-earth. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. Whether you’re navigating stress, life transitions, health challenges, or relationship concerns, my goal is to help you feel more hopeful, empowered, and equipped with tools you can use in your everyday life.
