New to Grow
I’m a faith-based therapist who works with adults dealing with high-conflict relationships and emotional overwhelm. I use CBT and DBT to help people understand their patterns, regulate their emotions, and respond more effectively—integrating faith when it’s important to them. I have 3 years of experience with substance-use disorder and helping break unhealthy connections. I enjoy taking a look into the current environment of your life and helping optimize for further healing.
During our first session I let you take the lead. Starting therapy is no small feat and I want to acknowledge the strength that first step takes. Mental health can keep us down and make it hard to open to new people. I want to get an idea of who you are, where you come from, and where you would like to go in this life.
I like to take an approach of you as a part of your environment. We cannot expect change without acknowledging what has impacted you from the outside (or inside for some).
I work with adults in high-conflict relationships and help them manage emotions and patterns using CBT and DBT, with faith integrated if they want that. These relationships can include self, significant other(s), parents, children, school, or even a career. We are all seeking balance in life and I enjoy helping find that balance. Collectively, we can develop a plan to determining what that balance looks like and how to fill the gap for the best future self.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We work to notice the correlation of your thoughts and emotions to your behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
We discuss the dialectics of life. I help you learn new skills to be more mindful, increase distress tolerance, regulate emotions, and find a better balance in life.
