New to Grow
Sometimes life feels like an uphill climb- whether it is a major life change that shakes your confidence, the emotional exhaustion of relapse or the lingering pain of past hurt. You don't have to face these challenges on your own. My goal as a therapist is to help you reconnect with your sense of worth and build a life that feels fulfilling and aligned with your values. In our work together, I will support you in understanding the patterns that may hold you back and empower you with tools to move forward. Therapy with me is collaborative and focused on growth, healing and helping you engage with life in new, meaningful ways. You have already taken an important step by visiting my profile-now, let's take the next one together.
During our first couple of sessions, we will take to understand your '' why; what'' and where- Why are you seeking support, what you would like to change, and where you hope to go. My approach combines insight-oriented exploration with practical skills that help you manage emotions, navigate challenges and create lasting changes.
I draw on several evidence-based approaches, including rational-emotional emotive behavior therapy: Dialectic behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused therapy. Rather than staying within one model, I tailor each session to fit your unique needs and goals. My flexibility and commitment to meeting you where you are, allow us to find what works best for you.
I work with adults and adolescents who struggling with anger, frustration, addictive behavior of difficulty managing emotions. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, I provide a supportive space to help you gain clarity, build coping skills and move toward a more balanced and satisfying life.
I have been utilizing CBT-based techniques to support patients in building insight into what maintains their symptoms and how they turn their pain from a past hurt or a work-related situation into long term suffering. Such understanding prepares them to disrupt the repetitive pattern of behavior and thoughts that increase stress and cause distress. I also utilize CBT-based interventions to assist patients in practicing new behaviors that align with their goals and increase joy and happiness.
Many of my patients come to see me at a time when they struggle to cope with what life throws at them, whether it is a break-up, job loss or financial hardship or parenting stress. I utilize DBT-based interventions to restore and strengthen their mental muscles.
