New to Grow
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate life’s complex transitions and challenges. In my practice, I offer a collaborative, down-to-earth space where clinical expertise meets genuine warmth, allowing you to explore your experiences safely and without judgment. Whether you are seeking to break out of old patterns, develop practical coping strategies, or cultivate deeper personal growth, my goal is to work collaboratively with you as an active partner in your healing journey.
Our first session is completely focused on building comfort and understanding your unique needs. Since your intake forms will already be completed ahead of time, we can dive right into a relaxed, open conversation about what brings you to counseling. This time is dedicated to assessing where you are currently and working together to begin developing a personalized treatment plan for moving forward. There is no pressure to have everything figured out right away. This is a chance for us to establish a solid foundation and to map out a supportive path forward tailored to your goals.
The greatest strength I bring to our sessions is a truly collaborative, person-centered approach that prioritizes your voice and your priorities. My practice stands out because I move away from the traditional, rigid clinical dynamic. Rather than acting as an expert telling you what to do next, we work as partners in your growth. I bring a warm, down-to-earth presence that integrates professional insight into non-judgmental support, ensuring that you always feel safe while we explore your experiences. By focusing on your unique strengths and needs, we create a flexible, empowering space where you can feel comfortable navigate life's challenges and build lasting change.
I enjoy working with clients who are feeling stressed, anxious, stuck, or unmotivated and are ready for things to change. Whether you’re navigating life changes, taking on new challenges, or seeking more balance, I'm ready to work with you as you explore and grow. I provide a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and encouraged. Together, we can focus on building healthier coping skills, improving your relationships, and creating a blueprint to help you move forward with more confidence and clarity. My approach is collaborative and person-centered, meaning that you set the agenda and guide the process at a pace you’re comfortable with. I'll help you to clarify your goals, reflect on what’s most important to you, and highlight areas for growth. Together, we’ll create a clear path forward and help you stay accountable to yourself. In our work together, I hope to create a space where you can express yourself without judgement. I'll help you to set meaningful personal goals and develop practical steps to reach them. My hope is that you leave each session feeling supported, understood, and ready to work on making the changes that you want to see for yourself.
Other specialties
I identify as
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I practice from a person-centered approach, which means I view you as the expert on your own life. My role isn't to act as an authority figure or to give you a list of instructions. Instead, I focus on building an empathetic, collaborative partnership where you feel safe, heard, and respected without judgment. I believe that when you have with a supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings, you naturally unlock your own inner strengths and capacity for personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a practical, goal-oriented way to help you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Together, we will examine any unhelpful patterns or beliefs that might be leaving you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. By identifying these tendencies, we can work together to build concrete, everyday strategies that empower you to navigate challenges with greater clarity, balance, and confidence.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I also utilize Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, which means our sessions will focus primarily on your strengths and your hopes for the future rather than feeling stuck on past problems. Together, we will identify what is already working well in your life and discover the inner resources that you already possess. It is a highly collaborative approach designed to help you develop practical, manageable steps toward the positive changes you want to see.
