New to Grow
Hello, I'm Jocelyn. I specialize in therapy that helps indivudals navigate depression, anxiety, burnout and the unique challenges of perinatal mental health. My style is warm and conversational making it easiier to uncover deeper issues beneath the surface. I meet you with empathy and evidence-based strategies so you can build a healthier connection with yourself and your life experiences. Life can feel overwhelming when faced with career or academic setbacks, relationship difficulties, or the emotional transitions of pregnancy and parenthood. Together, we'll explore what's holding you back, create space for growth, and restore balance.
Warm welcome: You'll be introduced to the therapy process in a safe, supportive enviornment. Sharing your story: You'll be given space to talk about current challenges (depression, anxiety, burnout, perinatal concerns, relationships, career). Clarifying goals: Together, you'll define what you want from therapy. Next steps: Leave with a clear plan and sense of direction for ongoing sessions.
The greatest strength I bring is my ability to combine direct honesty with deep compassion. Clients feel safe knowing I'll meet them with warmth and cultural sensitivity, while also guiding them to face the root of their challenges head-on.
My ideal clients are adults-often professionals, students, por parents-who are feeling weighed down by depressio, anxiety, burnout, or the emotional transitions of parenthood.
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients understand how the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I use CBT to collaboratively identfy unhelpful patterns and develop practical coping strategies, empowering clients to apply these tools in their daily lives for change.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel truly seen and accepted. Using a person-centered approach, I create a safe and supportive space to process life experiences while developing strengths and coping skills.
I use mindfulness practices in therapy to help clients slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the present. Together, we explore simple techniques that bring calm and clarity, making it easier to manage stress and culivate a sense of peace in daily life.
