New to Grow
Hi, Welcome to my page. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. We all face challenges in our daily lives. It is helpful to be able to have someone who is experienced to talk to, and who is not emotionally connected to the situation, in order to help you process, find solutions and to obtain goals. This is where I can be a service to you. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State and have been practicing for over 13 years, and I am also a Military Veteran.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the first session I will do a comphrensive assessment and will be information gathering this helps me see what areas we may need to focus on.
