New to Grow
I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia since 2011. I primarily employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a solution-focused, goal-oriented approach, though my expertise spans various therapeutic methods. If you’re seeking support during challenging times and find that talking helps, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can navigate your concerns and work toward meaningful solutions. Let’s embark on this journey of healing and growth together. *** Important *** If you are in crisis, please do not use the Grow Therapy platform. Instead, call or text 988, or call 911, or report to your nearest emergency department.
Our first session is an information-gathering session, where I'll ask you to share a little about yourself and what brings you into therapy. In our first session, we will embark on a meaningful journey of discovery. I'll invite you to share your story and the reasons that led you to seek therapy. We'll discuss your therapy goals and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This collaborative process will set the foundation for your growth and healing.
With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field and an LPC license obtained in 2011, I am committed to creating a safe and supportive telehealth environment where you can truly thrive. My nonjudgmental approach fosters open communication and trust, allowing you to explore your journey freely. I am passionate about witnessing the incredible transformations that occur when individuals embrace their potential and become the best versions of themselves. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together!
In today's world, couples often encounter significant relationship challenges. While I don't provide couples therapy, I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with various aspects of their relationships. I take great satisfaction in empowering my clients to communicate their desires and needs effectively, enabling them to make informed decisions about their relationships. Anxiety is an experience that many people face, often manifesting as intrusive thoughts or negative self-talk that can significantly disrupt happiness and productivity. I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other effective strategies to help you deal with negative, unhealthy, or intrusive thought patterns. Together, we will create a customized plan that equips you to manage anxiety and depression and cultivate a more positive mindset. I have a strong commitment to helping college students as they navigate the complexities of campus life, including friendships, relationships, academic challenges, and mental health concerns. Let's work together to enhance your well-being and build a fulfilling life.
Other specialties
I identify as
Eclectic
My therapeutic approach is eclectic, meaning a tailored treatment to the unique needs, goals, strengths, and preferences of each client rather than relying on a single counseling model. I believe that no one approach is effective for everyone, so I integrate evidence- based interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution- Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and other clinically appropriate modalities to create individualized treatment plans
