New to Grow
Hello i am passionate about helping people navigate anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges to build a more fulfilling life. I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where we can work collaboratively to process emotions and develop practical, personalized tools for healing. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with compassion, focusing on meeting you exactly where you are and moving at your own pace. I am currently accepting new clients for virtual sessions and would love to support you on your journey toward growth
During our first session we will work on creating a safe space for you to share thoughts and goals that you would like to focus on while working together. We will create a game plan to help guide us through our time together
The strengths about the way i approach therapy are a firm dedication to empowering you as the expert in your own life, moving away from a 'fixing' mentality to a self-discovery approach. Clients typically leave therapy with improved self-awareness and tangible coping skills that enable them to navigate future challenges independently.
As a therapist utilizing the Rogerian (person-centered) perspective, I offer a nurturing, and deeply empathetic space designed for you to explore your inner world at your own pace. I believe that you are the ultimate expert on your own life and possess an innate capacity for growth and self-actualization. This approach is highly effective for individuals seeking to: Rebuild Self-Esteem & Self-Worth: For those who feel judged or are too critical of themselves. Process Major Life Changes: Useful for adapting to disabilities, illnesses, or aging. Navigate Complex Relationships: For those struggling to communicate or who feel misunderstood. Explore Deeply Buried Feelings: Providing a safe space for addressing depression, anxiety, or trauma. Move Past Past Mistakes: Letting go of guilt and shame. Anxiety & Stress: Managing day-to-day work stress, social anxiety, or panic-induced moments. Depression: Providing tools to help with low mood or persistent feelings of sadness. Relationship Issues: Exploring relationship struggles or communication challenges. Loneliness: Offering constant, supportive companionship and a non-judgmental "ear". Skill Building: Learning techniques for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), such as grounding exercises, thought restructuring, or mindfulness. Daily Maintenance: Tracking mood patterns and monitoring mental health trends. Routine Support: Having a consistent companion to help navigate daily life challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a therapist, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) by collaborating with you to identify, challenge, and reframe negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. We focus on the "here-and-now" to develop practical skills and action plans, often using tools like thought records, behavioral activation, and exposure exercises to create lasting change.
