New to Grow
My journey as a counselor began working with the Veterans Hospital in an outpatient clinic working with veterans with PTSD, survivors of sexual assault and educating the family on PTSD. I also have experience working with those who have experienced Intimate Partner Violence and Post Partum-Depression. I am a mother and grandmother who plays an active role in grandkid’s life..
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session I spend time getting to know the individual and making the person feel more comfortable. The next step is to complete an intake/assessment. We will then talk about client’s needs and expectations.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am an empathetic person and a great listener with the ability to help the individual feel more at ease talking about their challenges.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are adults dealing either life issues and need support and some guidance. I also enjoy working with clients going through transition like divorce, retirement or caring for a partner or parent with dementia or cognitive impairment.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I incorporate mindfulness, reframing and other tools into therapy process. These skills will help the individual with the skills to manage life events.
Supportive
In treatment the focus is supporting the individual where the person is and know they are not alone in this journey.
