New to Grow
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with diagnostic privilege dedicated to helping clients navigate their challenges and discover their strengths. My approach is both compassionate and direct, providing a supportive atmosphere where you can work towards personal growth. I specialize in a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, offering individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. I utilize evidence-based and mindfulness techniques tailored to your needs. Whether you’re seeking to enhance communication and understanding in your relationship or working through personal challenges, therapy can be a source of support.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is also an opportunity for us to begin building comfort and trust. You do not need to have everything figured out before coming in. My role is to help guide the conversation, help you feel heard, and begin identifying the goals, challenges, and strengths that will shape our work together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is that I balance warmth, honesty, and practical intervention. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard, while also helping them move beyond just talking about problems and toward meaningful change
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best positioned to serve women, men, adolescents, young adults, couples, and individuals who are navigating conflict, emotional distress, life transitions, and relationship challenges and are open to engaging in the work of therapy. I work well with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, communication difficulties, family conflict, self-esteem concerns, stress, behavioral challenges, and unresolved emotional pain that is affecting their daily functioning or relationships. I am especially effective with young people who need support identifying emotions, building coping skills, improving decision-making, and feeling more understood and supported in the midst of personal or family stress
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as an evidence-based treatment approach with adolescents, adults, couples, and families presenting with anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment difficulties, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and relationship challenges. In my practice, I use CBT to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to identify patterns that may be contributing to distress or interfering with healthy functioning. I find CBT especially helpful because it provides clients with practical tools they can use both in and outside of sessions to build insight, improve coping, and create meaningful behavioral change.
