Initially from Chicago, IL., as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over five years of professional experience, I am dedicated to supporting clients facing stress and anxiety, relationship issues, depression, parenting challenges, and more. Prior to being a Therapist, I have obtained over 10 years of experience as an Educator and School Counselor. With my knowledge and experience, together, we will create an open and safe environment where you can share your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I commend you for taking the courageous first step toward therapy—it's a significant move toward healing and growth. I am proud of you for getting started. Let’s embark on this journey together!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first few sessions at Grow Therapy, you can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere where we will get to know one another and build rapport throughout our sessions. Eventually, if not initially, you will feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. We will discuss your goals for therapy and any specific challenges you are facing. I will ask questions to understand your background and current situation, allowing us to establish a solid foundation for our work together. These first few sessions will be an opportunity for you to share at your own pace, and I will ensure that you feel heard and supported. By the end, we will outline a plan for our future sessions that aligns with your needs and aspirations.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. Change your thinking, change your life. CBT aims to reduce the symptoms of many mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD and others.
Existential
Existential Therapy focuses on several core principles, including the exploration of existential concerns (freedom, death, isolation, and meaning), the importance of self-awareness, and the development of an authentic and meaningful life. The reality is that it is difficult for many to understand and accept that we are born to live, be our genuine selves, obtain meaning in our lives and inevitably die.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-Centered Therapy consists of the client's self-discovery and understanding of themselves. It helps you resolve conflicts, reorganize your values and approaches to life, and teaches you to interpret your thoughts and feelings. You have control over your own life.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Therapy highlights a client's ability to solve problems, rather than why or how the problem was created. Rather than dwelling on an individual's weaknesses and limitations, Solution-Focused Therapy does the opposite: concentrating solely on an individual's strengths and possibilities helps a client move forward.
