About me

Hello, Welcome to Grow! As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my desire is to help my clients learn to help themselves through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). During my long term practice I have learned that my clients ability to understand their cognitive behaviors and how these interact with their emotions is key to discovering and changing their lives. Catch it! Check it! Change it!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is our most important session. Is when we determine if we are a good fit. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy will be explained and a recommendation will be made.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I am fortunate to witness the transformation after only a few sessions. When we are able to explore through individual therapy our thoughts, emotions and behaviors we can understand our place in the "Cognitive Triangle". As the client understands this interplay, our reasoning identifies with a different perspective.

her approach was very soft and kind. I need to feel like I’m talking to someone who can understand my pov and maybe struggles I might have. And she did exactly that, no judgement just straight with hearing me and already getting me the help I feel I need!

If you want actual help then see her. If you’re looking for someone to co-sign your BS. She won’t.

I will be honest, at first, I thought hmm I really don't think I am going to vibe well with her. But honestly, I realized she is EXACTLY what everyone needs in a therapist. Direct, honest, and give a thorough explanation into her insights about treatment that will help you most. Highly recommend. Sometimes the uncomfortable is better, just saying.
