New to Grow
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Provider, I specialize in supporting patients experiencing mental health challenges, trauma, and life transitions through a balanced, evidence-based approach. I utilize psychotherapy modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care, complemented by careful medication management when appropriate. My approach is collaborative, transparent, and goal-oriented, reflecting my belief that patients should understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and the rationale behind each recommendation. Together, we focus not only on symptom relief but also on fostering resilience, clarity, and long-term emotional wellness.
During the initial visit, patients can expect a comprehensive assessment. I will attentively listen to their narrative, review their medical and mental health history, and discuss their concerns and goals to formulate a personalized treatment plan.
My therapeutic approach is characterized by a balance between practical structure and deep emotional insight. I utilize well-researched modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed approaches. This ensures that our work is grounded in methods with strong empirical support rather than popular psychology. Patients often report appreciating that sessions remain concrete, as we connect behavioral patterns to real-life strategies. While insight is important, measurable change is equally prioritized. Patients leave sessions equipped with practical tools, not merely reflections. Beyond focusing solely on thoughts, I assist patients in understanding how stress, trauma, and attachment patterns manifest physically. Regulation skills are introduced early to promote safety and enhance patients’ sense of control. I maintain transparency regarding therapeutic processes and objectives, collaborating with clients to set goals. Therapy should not feel mysterious; rather, it should be an empowering experience.
I am best positioned to work with patients who are prepared for meaningful, active change rather than solely expressing frustrations. My approach integrates insight with practical strategies derived from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Patients who benefit most demonstrate willingness to practice skills between sessions and engage collaboratively in the therapeutic process. I support patients in healing at a pace that feels safe and regulated, while also assisting them in regaining clarity and direction.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
The core principle of CBT is to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teach coping skills to reduce emotional distress and improve daily functioning. CBT serves diverse populations, including adolescents, adults, couples, and groups. I am committed to tailoring services to each client’s goals, strengths, challenges, and needs. I also emphasize CBT fundamentals: identifying thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; analyzing dysfunctional thoughts; and reframing them more accurately.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback helps patients recognize thoughts, feelings, and behaviors linked to their physiology. Over time, they learn to self-regulate without relying on feedback screens. I use biofeedback to improve quality of life and clinical outcomes, and potentially reverse biological aspects of various conditions.
