LCSW, 25 years of experience
Welcome, and thank you for considering me as a therapist to partner with you on your therapy journey! Taking the first steps to change your life can be challenging and, at times, a bit scary. I can relate to and understand how taking those initial steps to start a new journey can be uncomfortable. I strive to provide a warm, safe, and nonjudgemental environment where clients can feel comfortable working towards their goals utilizing tailored therapeutic techniques. Therapy is a partnership between the therapist and the client to work towards creating positive changes that one would like to focus on in their life. I have twenty-five years of experience working with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families to address relationship issues, anxiety, depression, women's issues, grief, ADHD, and life transitions. With the proper support, I feel anyone can make advancements toward their goals. I look forward to the opportunity to partner with you on your journey of growth! Christine ***Please when booking appointments, book on the top of the hour. Grow has not implemented a function to do this and booking in the middle of the hour (9:30, 10:30, etc.) creates potential time conflicts.
During our first session, we will have time to get to know each other. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and safe as we begin your therapy journey. It is vital as we start to explore any concerns and specific challenges that are brought to therapy. We will then discuss a tailored plan to identify the next steps that best support your therapy goals.
As a therapist, it is critical to remember that every individual requires a specialized approach created just for them. To create an individualized approach, I focus on ensuring clients feel comfortable and safe sharing their thought, struggles, and feelings as they take steps toward personal growth and development. My focus remains on the strengths a client possesses and is incorporated into their treatment to find the balance of feeling confident in their capabilities and finding opportunities to build skills developing inner strength and the mindset to approach any challenge with confidence to manage any situation they encounter.
