New to Grow
I am a seasoned therapist who enjoys working with client of all ages. I have been able to obtain a quality education that has helped me gain great skills to work with individuals, couples, and families. I believe that we all need to have positive acceptance in our lives, and to be able to connect with a therapist who accepts without judgment. I form a bond with my clients and allow them to be their true selves. It is a privilege to be able to help people find their way. I believe that therapy should be a partnership experience that empowers clients to find the best solutions for themselves, even when the solutions are hard. I provide the safe space that is needed for clients to process prior trauma, current life events and experiences. I am supportive, positive, and encouraging, and do all that I can to help my clients achieve their best life possible.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Clients should expect acceptance, encouragement, and honesty in their first session. I complete an intake that gains valuable information so I can be assured that clients have a chance to tell their story and to feel heard.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths consist of openness, and humanness. I listen; I hear; and I validate.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I truly enjoy working with clients who are willing to listen, learn, and understand choices in their lives. I am transparent in my approach and appreciate transparency from clients. None of us are perfect and I don't expect clients/people to be perfect. It is ok. We are in it together!
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Client-Centered Therapy; EMDR; Humanistic Therapy; and several other evidenced based therapies to provide the most appropriate therapy to each individual client.
