(she/her)
New to Grow
I am licensed in Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
The session is a get-to-know you session. We will discuss my style of therapy, your background and start setting those goals for a new you!
My approach to therapy is solution focused and client centered with a bit of fun and humor. I believe that a simple and casual approach makes therapy more palatable, allowing for openness and individualism. I work with my clients to find the ways that work for them to reach the goals that they would like to reach. I follow your lead towards achieving your goals
I love working with individuals just trying to navigate the intricacies of life and those who are ready to explore all the things that sit in front of them. My dream client is anyone who wants to make a change in their life and is ready for the relationship, accountability and resilience that comes with going to therapy. Clients should be consistent, communicative and honest in this practice. Otherwise, it does not work.
Other specialties
I identify as
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
When you get in a car, you have a destination to reach. Well, I view therapy like a GPS. We, together, will set where we would like to go and let the process of therapy guide the turns we take. Solution Focused treatment keeps our eyes on the destination and who we want to be in the future.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We cannot change the things around us. Only what is within. CBT retrains the negative thoughts and feelings we develop after an unchangeable situation to something that leads to more positive outcomes.
