New to Grow
As a licensed therapist in New York and ( Florida) State I have many years experience in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on creating life affirming spaces for healing across diverse life experiences. I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and self esteem challenges with a deeply compassionate approach. My therapeutic work focuses on helping people navigate profound personal transformations.from healing from past wounds to rediscovering self love.
In our first session we will together identify the challenges and goals , that you want to work on. We will talk about good and reasonable goals. We will talk about where you would like to be in the next 6 months to a year. We will collaborate on strategies you can use to get there. When the session ends we both will have an understanding of the best way to move forward. We will always be able to reassess and hold each other accountable.
One of my blessings in this life has been to have a compassionate heart, and a true joy in helping people feel better. I have had the pleasure of having a very diverse family and community. This is more than a job for me it is a life calling and it provides a sincere sense of purpose.
I love working with people who are wanting change and ready to be empowered to create the life they want to live. This often involves the deep work of changing our thought patterns , changing habits and discovering our best self. My dream client believes or is willing to try to believe , that they can change and is really tired of prior thought distortions that made them unhappy and more of the same.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Many people unconsciously have negative thought distortions messages that are negative and not true. These negative thought distortions are from past experiences. We together discover those unique messages and learn to challenge the thought and replace it with a better thought. It takes practice and support. It is grounded in feelings being changeable and changing out thoughts and activities to change those feelings.
Eclectic
I weave many modalities in and out of therapy: aspects of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and others to connect with my clients. I have several years of experience and really feel that the trust and connection of therapist and client are essential to successful treatment.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
In our unique inner life we have parts of our self that are wounded, and parts that are strong and well and parts of our selves who show up to handle the situation. Underneath all of that is a calm and well centered ,wise person who deserves peace. I help you learn about yourself and hopefully have an experience of calmness.
