New to Grow
I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina with 5+ years of counseling experience. After graduating with my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Florida, I immediately dove into clinical work. I specialize in working with children/families, adolescents, and young adults. I enjoy cats, vintage shopping, music, and crafting.
The first session will focus on getting to know the client through discussion of their interests, history, and presenting problem. We will then collaboratively establish treatment goals for therapy and will conclude the session by determining our suitability in continuing services together.
I remain present with each client and their individual struggles. This allows me to form a unique relationship with each client and ensure a space that is comfortable, yet challenging when necessary. I often tailor sessions to fit client's needs while consistently utilizing evidence-based treatment modalities.
I have experience working with adolescents and young adults navigating life stressors or life transitions and find that I connect well with this demographic. Additionally, I value working with LGBTQIA clients, as this community holds relevance in my own life. Overall, I am a suitable match for clients who are goal oriented and interested in the application of effective coping skills.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have 5+ years of experience in executing evidence-based cognitive behavioral techniques. In individual therapy, clients can expect a focus on learning about their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and how to change them.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have 3+ years of experience in teaching the application of DBT skills through individual and group therapy. In individual therapy, clients can expect an emphasis on mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal, and distress tolerance skills to assist in navigating ongoing problematic behaviors.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I have 5+ years in conducting solution focused brief therapy techniques. In individual therapy, clients can expect sessions to be goal oriented and aimed towards gathering solutions for life stressors.
