New to Grow
I am very passionate and dedicated when it comes to helping all clients that I work with. I am a full time school counselor in a public school setting where I have been dedicated to working with parents and their children for 14 years. I have also done online therapy for the past year working with adults and adolescents. I am able to help clients better manage their emotions, find relief from negative thought patterns, feel more grounded, calm, and in control of their lives. In sessions, I combine mindfulness- based cognitive therapy (MBCT) with a caring, direct approach. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable and supported. Expect a balance of thoughtful insight, collaborative problem-solving, and tools you can use to start feeling some positive changes.
The first sessions are essential for developing a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship along with creating a personalized treatment plan centered around your needs. During the initial session, we will be able to identify why you are seeking therapy and your goals. As therapy continues, we will explore initial concerns which will lead to understanding or revealing suppressed thoughts, experiences or traumas. This will allow you the opportunity to process these past traumas and create (or revise) a treatment plan that is beneficial and paramount to your healing and growing process. Clients I’ve worked with see gradual, positive changes as we navigate throughout therapy sessions.
Sometimes when it is hard to see something from a different perspective, I can help navigate that in ways that you wouldn’t see coming. I think out side the box and typically have a different way of solving problems. I am proactive and passionate about making a difference in any person’s life that I have the opportunity to interact with. Methods that I use in therapy are CBT, Person Centered, and Mindfulness are approaches. Typically, in the first sessions, we will be able to identify what brought you to therapy and discuss what your expectations are from therapy. I am able to facilitate and guide the discussion structure and thought process through CBT, person centered and/or Mindfulness techniques.
Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxious thoughts, or a constant inner critic? Maybe self-care feels impossible, or you are just exhausted from trying to hold it all together. If you are struggling with anxiety, stress, or self-esteem, you are not alone. I help clients better manage their emotions. Are you ready to take the next step towards feeling more like yourself again? Book your first session and let's start your journey to a healthier, happier you!
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is extremely useful because it helps to reframe thoughts and behaviors which ultimately influences the way people feel. This theory focuses on how our feelings, the way we think, and our actions are all intertwined and influence each other. CBT can help clients see things from different perspectives, open up to trying new things, encourages self reflection and the ability to process experiences in a healthy way.
