LCSW, 4 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello and welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who are navigating challenges such as depression, trauma, or difficulties stemming from relationships and family dynamics. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and understood, and where we can work together to explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect to your experiences and needs. I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach rooted in evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered care. Together, we’ll identify practical coping strategies, build resilience, and work toward emotional well-being in a way that feels meaningful to you. I strive to empower clients to be the driver of their own journey, while providing guidance, support, and challenges at a pace that feels comfortable.
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you and understanding your goals for therapy. This is a safe space to share what’s on your mind, explore challenges, and talk about what you hope to achieve. I’ll ask questions to learn more about your experiences, and together we’ll begin identifying strategies that support your growth. You are the driver of your own journey, and my role is to empower you with tools, insights, and guidance to navigate the path forward with confidence.
My greatest strengths as a therapist are my ability to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space while genuinely connecting with each client. I integrate evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and strengths-based methods to help clients build practical skills, increase self-awareness, and navigate challenges effectively. I am compassionate and collaborative, yet I also challenge clients, at a pace that feels comfortable, to step out of their comfort zone and grow. My focus is on empowering you as the driver of your own journey and supporting meaningful, lasting change.
I am best positioned to serve clients who are ready to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a safe, supportive space. This includes individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, as well as those seeking guidance in building coping skills, improving relationships, or finding balance in life. I work with clients who are motivated to grow, open to self-reflection, and looking for practical strategies that align with their values and goals. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to meet each client’s unique needs.
Clients can expect a supportive and collaborative approach where we explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected to your experiences and underlying needs. This process is rooted in CBT a highly effective method, for addressing emotional challenges. In addition, I integrate strengths-based and person-centered approaches to ensure therapy is tailored to your values and goals.
I use a strengths-based approach to help clients identify and build on their unique abilities, resources, and resilience. In my practice, we focus on your existing strengths to navigate challenges, set meaningful goals, and create positive change in a way that aligns with your values and personal growth.
I strongly believe in the power of psychoeducation to help clients better understand themselves and their unique needs. I enjoy sharing information in a way that is clear, practical, and personalized, empowering clients to make informed choices, build coping skills, and navigate challenges more effectively. My approach is collaborative and supportive, focused on growth, self-awareness, and meaningful change.
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients identify clear goals and practical steps toward achieving them. This approach highlights your strengths and past successes, guiding us to build solutions that work in your daily life. Together, we focus on what’s working, develop effective strategies, and track progress to create meaningful, lasting change.
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients navigate intense emotions and develop practical skills for everyday challenges. Together, we focus on mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthy communication, all tailored to your unique needs. My goal is to help you build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change in a way that feels empowering and achievable.
