New to Grow
With years of experience in Private Practice, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome the effects of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in trauma therapy and am certified in EMDR. I also have years of experience and a heart for those battling with addiction. My approach combines compassion, expertise, and a deep understanding of the neurobiology of trauma. I also integrate cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practice to create comprehensive care. I feel it is important to work collaboratively with my clients by meeting them where they are, and together working to create goals and create a treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. I also help individuals manage daily stress, relationship issues, and grief by weaving in techniques from CBT, DBT, as well as EMDR, while building life, and coping skills.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I take the time to establish trust and rapport with each client. I listen to what they feel they need to address as far as symptoms, goals and the many issues they want to work through. I want to explore the underlying root of what is causing problematic experiences and help each client work to resolve the core issues.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I understand the courage it takes to be vulnerable and take embark on making life changes. I consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to help my clients on their journey of self-exploration and healing. I believe it is a strength to be able to help the client explore the complexities and underlying causes of their present experiences and to help them heal and change inner negative core cognitions.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am non- judgmental approach to therapy and practice unconditional regard for each client. I feel I am warm and help clients to feel comfortable to talk and share experiences.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Description: I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past five years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge recurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact with one another. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a more relaxed and less stressful life.
