LPCC, 16 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a licensed professional clinical counselor, LPCC-S. I have approximately 16 years of experience as a therapist. I have worked in a various settings with a variety of clients. Since 2020, I have primarily provided telehealth counseling to adults. I am trained in CBT and DBT. I incorporate skills from both. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time reading or being outside.
The first session is a chance for you to share more about you, including what you are looking for from therapy. During this time, we will talk in more depth about how therapy may be helpful for you. Some people are nervous for the first session. We don't have to talk about anything you don't want to talk and I will ask a lot of questions to help you know what topics can be discussed in therapy.
I value mutual respect between the therapist and client. I try to balance compassion with directness.
Clients that may benefit from therapy with me are often those that are motivated to achieve goals and see the value in gaining insights into their thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
CBT can be used to help an individual identify, check and challenge their thoughts.
