New to Grow
Hello there, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I specialize in helping people mood and relationship challenges. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, using evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness strategies to help you understand and manage your emotions, develop healthier thought patterns, and improve your relationships. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or difficulty connecting with others, I’m here to support you in creating lasting change and living a more balanced, fulfilling life.
In the first therapy session, you can expect to have a welcoming and collaborative conversation where I get to know you, your background, and the specific challenges you are facing. We’ll begin by discussing what brought you to therapy and I’ll ask about your specific goals for therapy. I’ll listen carefully and validate your feelings, helping you feel understood and supported from the very start.
As a therapist, I bring a warm, empathetic approach to every session, creating a safe space where clients feel heard, valued, and understood. I believe in a collaborative process, working closely with each client to set meaningful goals and tailor therapy to their unique needs. My client-focused approach means that I prioritize your individual experience, helping you navigate challenges in a way that aligns with your personal values and vision for change. I’m deeply committed to helping you develop the skills and insights necessary to achieve your goals, while providing support and encouragement every step of the way. My style is rooted in respect and compassion, allowing you to feel comfortable, empowered, and motivated as we work together toward lasting transformation.
I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, stress, panic, mood changes and relationship difficulties. My ideal clients are those who are ready to explore and understand the root causes of their distress, and are motivated to develop healthier coping mechanisms. Whether you're dealing with the constant pressure of managing anxiety, seeking relief from obsessive thoughts, or facing challenges in your personal relationships, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to help you gain clarity, build emotional resilience, and create more meaningful connections.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I aim to empower clients by providing them with tools and strategies they can use independently to manage their mental health. Examples of CBT include thought restructuring, reframing and relaxation techniques.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT is a therapeutic approach that focuses on helping individuals accept difficult emotions and thoughts, commit to living a values-driven life, and engage in behaviors that align with those values, even in the presence of discomfort. Instead of eliminating or avoiding discomfort, ACT encourages clients to build psychological flexibility and live more meaningful, value-driven lives.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT helps to regulate intense emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and improve relationships. By combining acceptance and change strategies, DBT offers the tools to not only manage emotions but also create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
