New to Grow
I am a licensed professional counselor who specializes in depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, emotion regulation, and life transitions. My work integrates (CBT) cognitive behavioral therapy to better understand emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. (SFBT) solution focused brief therapy to identify strengths while focus on finding solutions rather than focusing on the problem, and person-centered therapy to show empathy and began self-healing.
During our first session will be spent on getting to know you than trying to solve everything right away. This time will be used trying to understand what brought you in, what your goals are, and work on building rapport. Confidentiality and its limits (such as situations involving immediate safety concerns), session length, cancellation policies, and answer any questions you have about the process. Questions will be asked about your background. This might include your family, relationships, work or school, physical health, previous mental health treatment, significant life events, and any current stressors. Feel no pressure to share what you are not ready for. This is an open and non-judgmental space.
With experience in many different mental health agencies and populations, I more than equipped to offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment to share any issues or concerns. My objective is to self-start healing and focus on your goals.
I work best with clients who are open minded, honest, willing to actively engage in treatment, willing to accept change, while being self-aware. The counseling process can look different for everyone and that is perfectly okay. There is no pressure to "perform" but show up and let's do the work needed to assist in improving your overall health physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to assist client in focusing on the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The central idea is that while you can't always control what happens to you, you can learn to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress. This will also address needed coping skills, anxiety, and lessening depressive symptoms.
