LICSW, 3 years of experience
New to Grow
My path to becoming a therapist was deeply influenced by my experiences in the military. Witnessing both indirect and direct trauma firsthand, I gained a profound understanding of the human capacity for resilience, but also the critical need for accessible and compassionate mental health support. Those experiences ignited a passion within me to provide a safe haven for individuals navigating their own challenges. I saw the power of healing and the importance of having a supportive space to process difficult emotions and experiences. This journey led me to dedicate my life to helping others, recognizing the strength it takes to seek help and the transformative power of therapy. My military background has instilled in me a deep sense of empathy, discipline, and commitment to serving others, qualities I bring to every session. I understand the unique challenges faced by those who have experienced trauma, and I'm dedicated to providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment where healing can begin.
Imagine our first session as a comfortable conversation, a chance for us to connect and for you to share what brings you to therapy. My priority is to create a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where you feel safe to be yourself. We'll begin by getting to know each other, exploring your background and what you're hoping to achieve. Together, we'll start to paint a picture of your goals, discussing what success looks like for you. I'll ask open-ended questions to help you clarify your desires and identify the steps we can take to get there. There's no pressure to have all the answers; this is a collaborative process of discovery. My aim is to leave you feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the journey ahead. We'll lay the groundwork for a therapeutic partnership, building a foundation of trust and mutual respect.
In therapy, clear and open communication is paramount. From our first session, you'll find a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. I understand that everyone's journey is unique, and I'm committed to meeting you where you are, without expectations or pressure. We'll work together to build a trusting relationship where you feel safe to explore your experiences and challenges. My approach is rooted in active listening and empathetic understanding, ensuring that you feel truly heard and validated. Whether you're navigating difficult emotions, processing past experiences, or seeking guidance for the future, I'll provide compassionate support and practical tools tailored to your individual needs. You can expect honest reflection, gentle guidance, and a collaborative partnership as we work towards your well-being.
