(She)
New to Grow
I’m a compassionate and nonjudgmental clinician who is dedicated to helping clients address their struggles to enjoy life as much as possible. As I understand clients are experts in their own lives, I embrace a collaborative approach to creating therapeutic treatment plans and ensuring desired outcomes. I seek feedback from clients after each session to mitigate any potential issues. Also, I encourage clients to engage in doing homework to support themselves outside of therapy to empower them.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session usually covers the details from the therapy contract, the main reason for seeking therapy, and clients’ and therapist expectations.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am a great and active listener who can quietly hold space for my clients, but also respectfully challenge them when necessary.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Whether it involves professionals or not, my years of experience, education, and client-centered approach, have allowed me to successfully work with different age groups clients who experience various issues, including anxiety, depression, gender identity, family problems, couples conflict, gambling, anger management, life transition, career path, relationships, and mediation. I am great at reading nonverbal cues and facilitating the safe space clients need to verbalize their concerns, feel validated without feeling judged.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) acting as the umbrella that brings different approaches, including ACT, DBT, REBT, MCBT. While each of these techniques are unique, they all work towards the same purpose of addressing unhealthy patterns and actions to help you, my clients, achieve your goals and feel better.
