New to Grow
I believe that therapy can be Fun, Inspiring, and Healing (with hopefully some good LAUGHS if possible.) As a child, I was put on academic probation twice, expelled at one point, and even attended military school. My life/travel experiences (volunteered in an orphanage in Nepal, worked at Mother Teresa's House for the Destitute and Dying in Calcutta, India, photographed the Rohingya genocide in Bangladesh), have shaped and informed my humanity to serve clients as a therapist now.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My goal is to empower you to take control of your life by dealing with the issues that have not been resolved or those that you fail to be aware of. It's scary and uncomfortable but growth happens when we are in an uncomfortable state. I promise you that I will be your ally during this journey of growth and discovery.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
If you're looking for someone you can be authentic with, then I'm your guy. If you're looking for someone who won't just regurgitate textbook knowledge but actually has life experience, that's also me. Therapy is at its best when there's a good exchange of energy in session.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
You feel empty, hopeless, isolated, and depressed. You WANT interaction and connection. You have family trauma and cultural expectations that have deeply hurt you and destroyed your self -esteem. I can empathize as I have dealt with those same issues too! I help people dealing with depression and anxiety by giving a safe space to fully express themselves authentically while being fully seen and heard.
Gestalt
I help people reclaim parts of themselves that they have lost along the way.
Relational
I am very active and involved during the session. I want there to be a two way interaction.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I help people reframe their way of thinking and give other perspectives to help ease depression and anxiety.
