First session
You can ask me any questions about my background as a therapist. If this is your first time in therapy, I am happy to explain the forms you signed, including confidentiality, its limits, fees, and Grow Therapy's policies. We will review your online intake form and the short assessments together. I will also ask you a few more questions about your health and how you are feeling today. My goal is to help you feel safe and to set your first counseling goal with you.
Strengths
I help clients navigate seemingly impossible situations by fostering a safe space where they can transition from relying on external sources—such as substances, people, or places—to cultivating a profound sense of inner security. My unique, flowing approach encourages you to break free from social conventions and move beyond people-pleasing. By challenging you to express your authentic feelings, I help lift the heavy burdens of codependency or external control, allowing you to experience true freedom, peace of mind, and the rewarding calm of self-reliance.
Ideal clients
I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing mental health challenges that can be effectively treated through online therapy, and who are ready to participate actively in their healing process. I enjoy supporting individuals who are open to learning new strategies and engaging collaboratively in therapy. I have found clients who have not been in therapy before meeting me and had another therapist or clients who have had prior therapy both responding positively to my integrative approach.
Origin story
About me: I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping clients navigate life’s challenges and discover their inner resilience. My practice is rooted in providing a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, heal from past experiences, and cultivate a sense of peace and empowerment in their daily lives. What inspired you to become a therapist? I felt a sincere calling to this profession from a young age, as I was always the person friends and family turned to for guidance. I pursued formal education in the helping professions to sharpen those natural instincts, driven by a deep desire to help others move beyond past resentment toward personal freedom. What strengths do you bring to your sessions? My strength lies in my intuitive, solution-focused approach and my commitment to helping clients release the burdens of their past to find true, lasting peace.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Right from the start, you take the lead in your therapy. I’m here to support you with empathy and acceptance, walking alongside you. Together, we’ll focus on your strengths and see you as a whole person, not just your struggles. Every challenge can become a chance to grow.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
With this approach, we work together to focus on what’s most important to you right now. In our first session, we’ll choose a clear goal and keep adjusting our plan until you feel confident that things are improving and you’re moving toward what you want.
Interpersonal
This therapy can help boost your mood and social skills by addressing relationship challenges. We’ll look at real-life situations that cause frustration, depression, or anxiety, and come up with ways to build your self-esteem and confidence. We’ll also explore attachment styles and work on breaking old patterns that keep unhelpful habits in place.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT looks at how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. It helps you build coping skills and challenge negative thinking. Unlike some therapies that focus on the past or the unconscious, CBT is practical and focused on what’s happening now. We can look back later if it’s helpful, but it’s not needed at the beginning.
Motivational Interviewing
This collaborative approach fosters a strong bond between counselor and client, shaped by shared perspectives and experiences. It’s respectful, open, and free of confrontation. For those in early recovery, when emotions may be intense or hidden by shame or embarrassment, it’s especially effective. I have used this with most people i have helped whether they are in recovery or not
