LMHC, 18 years of experience
New to Grow
Often the biggest obstacles lie within, and my goal is to enable you to free yourself from problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so that you may strive for your ideal version of yourself. Personally and professionally, I pride myself on my rapport with everyone that I encounter. I have genuine and unconditional respect and patience for others. I remain objective and non-judgmental, while still developing close working relationships that are productive and challenging. I specialize in improving thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and outcomes. I enjoy working in music production, and share music therapy exercises often. I look forward to delving into any interests that you are looking to pursue. It is very important to discover your talents and develop confidence in articulating and communicating thoughts and feelings. These can be great coping skills, recreation, or even a potential career.
My main goal for our first session is to understand where you are coming from and how you feel about the process and our work together. I want to tailor everything very specifically to your real examples, preferences, and desired outcomes. I prefer to work with you to develop insights and plans so that You as the expert can be in the driver seat. Things work much better when we make sure everything applies to you, and you also deserve to own all of your successes and the insights that lead to them. You will be free to ask questions and get to know me as well, and my main intention is that by the end of the session you feel comfortable, understood, and confident about engaging in this process.
I pride myself on my empathy, complete lack of judgment, and a strong ability to connect with anyone on their level. Regardless of what you are going through, I view everyone with an unconditional respect for who you are, and for the fact that you are putting forth effort to make things better for yourself. I am genuinely interested in people's interests, lifestyles, and challenges and enjoy getting to know the people I get to work with. I'm also excellent at making connections and strategizing to help pursue goals and also troubleshoot processes that don't seem to be working.
I am currently accepting new clients with a wide variety of goals and circumstances. I work to create a partnership to help unlock your potential, overcome challenges, strive for success, and manage difficult situations/negative life experiences. Every individual is very valuable, unique, and deserving of the support necessary to have a good quality of life, peace, and satisfaction
By understanding underlying beliefs, we are able to make sense of our feelings and impulses. This allows us to choose how we want to feel and act, versus reacting based on variables we can feel but aren't tuned in to.
Strategizing and understanding other people and circumstances can be very helpful in navigating our challenges as well as our goals.
