New to Grow
My name is Becca and I have been working in the field of social work for over 12 years . I know that therapy is never an easy choice, but I am so glad you are here! I look forward to meeting you where you are at and working on making things more manageable, finding your "normal". I specialize in working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and various life challenges. I will provide an open, safe, and supportive space for you to be YOU while gaining new skills and accomplishing your goals!
Our first session is an open-space for you to share what brings you to therapy. We will discuss your background and build rapport as we go along in getting to know each other. Meeting someone new can always be nerve-racking, but know I am here to provide support judgment-free.
I actively listen and observe, and share in an honest manner. I am not one to sugarcoat and have been known to be blunt and to the point, but in a supportive way. I ask that you be open with me when something doesn't feel right so we can manage it together. I utilize varying modalities of therapy based on what your goals are. Not every modality works for every client, so I will customize it to you and adapt as needed. I am rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an approach designed to help you challenge and reshape negative thoughts/beliefs about yourself, while also equipping you with valuable coping skills to handle those challenges. My toolbox also holds varying skills, including Dialectical Behavior therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative therapy, and Reality Therapy. With adaptation comes coping skills, mindfulness, medication support through your primary care physician, or maybe homework to hone skills we discuss. You are not alone in this process, and I want to be there to provide support in learning how to put those struggles aside!
Has life just been life-ing? Have you been struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, or low motivation? Let's get you out of that funk! I work with individuals from all walks of life. I truly believe that, even in the moments when everything feels out of control, you can utilize your mind and internal strengths to take back control of your life. I will jump right into how you got to your current situation and identify the thoughts and emotions that are keeping you buried under all the weight and uncertainty. We will do the hard work together!
