New to Grow
Hello i am passionate about helping people navigate anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges to build a more fulfilling life. I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where we can work collaboratively to process emotions and develop practical, personalized tools for healing. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with compassion, focusing on meeting you exactly where you are and moving at your own pace. I am currently accepting new clients for virtual sessions and would love to support you on your journey toward growth
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session we will work on creating a safe space for you to share thoughts and goals that you would like to focus on while working together. We will create a game plan to help guide us through our time together
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
The strengths about the way i approach therapy are a firm dedication to empowering you as the expert in your own life, moving away from a 'fixing' mentality to a self-discovery approach. Clients typically leave therapy with improved self-awareness and tangible coping skills that enable them to navigate future challenges independently.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
As a therapist utilizing the Rogerian (person-centered) perspective, I offer a nurturing, and deeply empathetic space designed for you to explore your inner world at your own pace. I believe that you are the ultimate expert on your own life and possess an innate capacity for growth and self-actualization. This approach is highly effective for individuals seeking to: Rebuild Self-Esteem & Self-Worth: For those who feel judged or are too critical of themselves. Process Major Life Changes: Useful for adapting to disabilities, illnesses, or aging. Navigate Complex Relationships: For those struggling to communicate or who feel misunderstood. Explore Deeply Buried Feelings: Providing a safe space for addressing depression, anxiety, or trauma. Move Past Past Mistakes: Letting go of guilt and shame. Anxiety & Stress: Managing day-to-day work stress, social anxiety, or panic-induced moments. Depression: Providing tools to help with low mood or persistent feelings of sadness. Relationship Issues: Exploring relationship struggles or communication challenges. Loneliness: Offering constant, supportive companionship and a non-judgmental "ear". Skill Building: Learning techniques for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), such as grounding exercises, thought restructuring, or mindfulness. Daily Maintenance: Tracking mood patterns and monitoring mental health trends. Routine Support: Having a consistent companion to help navigate daily life challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a therapist, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) by collaborating with you to identify, challenge, and reframe negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. We focus on the "here-and-now" to develop practical skills and action plans, often using tools like thought records, behavioral activation, and exposure exercises to create lasting change.
