New to Grow
Do you miss being in control of your emotions? Do you struggle with racing thoughts, a lack of motivation, or low self-confidence? Ready to make yourself a priority again? I am here to help! As a Licensed therapist (LPC) certified in CBT-TF, specializing in trauma focused therapy, I can help you get back into the driver's seat of your emotional roller coaster called life. In addition, with my knowledge and experience working with individuals, couples, and families, from all backgrounds, I will be able to help you work through past experiences that are causing distress in your life. I want to provide a safe space for you to be your most authentic self. Life can be hard, but you don't have to go through it alone. I find it beneficial to mix different types of therapy tools including mindfulness, psychoeducation, journaling techniques and much more! Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, self-confidence or life in general, I will be able to provide evidence-based techniques for you to become the best version of yourself.
In our first session we will work to get to know each other and set short term and long-term goals for your treatment. You can ask me any questions you may have, and we will discuss what brought you to treatment and what you are hoping to gain from each session. I will implement SMART* goals from there. *SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time management). I am a calm therapist and will ensure that you feel safe and welcomed during your sessions.
I provide a compassionate, empowering space for multicultural individuals, couples, and families facing life’s hardest transitions. Whether you're navigating the weight of grief and loss or seeking a mindset shift, I am here to guide your healing. I will be able to provide specific worksheets, activities, and therapy tools to address your short-term and long-term goals. My approach is kind and focused, and clients who engage in consistent weekly sessions typically see a measurable decrease in distress symptoms within the first four weeks. Let’s begin your journey toward lasting relief.
I am best equipped and trained to serve those with anxiety, depression, personality/mood disorders, self-esteem/self-confidence and addiction struggles. I bring in work from evidence-based practices including CBT, and DBT. I am certified in CBT-TF and have a rich background in multicultural studies as well as extensive experience working with families working on conflict resolution. I enjoy helping women heal from their past and empower them to weather the current storms in their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I integrate CBT into sessions because our thoughts feelings and behaviors are all interconnected.
Grief Therapy
Throughout life, we all experience death loss and non- death loss. I integrate grief therapy into sessions to identify times where we can become "stuck" in the grief process.
Couples Counseling
I use couples therapy for couples who are seeking to maintain healthy relationships and or heal from wounds. Couples that are seeking change and growth will benefit from this therapy.
Multicultural
I utilize a client-centered approach, integrating cultural humility and self-reflection to address how race, ethnicity, and systemic factors shape client experiences. My experience includes fostering inclusive therapeutic alliances with diverse populations by adapting interventions, recognizing personal biases, and actively exploring client worldviews to enhance care and trust.
Trauma Informed Care
I use trauma informed care with all of my clients to provide a safe and nurturing place clients can find healing and restoration.
