New to Grow
I am a laid-back middle aged professional counselor who can help you reflect and grow in your daily life through gentle challenges. My ideal client is someone who is ready and open to change/self-improvement. You are the expert in your own life; I would like to help you access that power and knowledge in a readily available way. I look forward to working with you.
Our first session is spent getting to know your goals, challenges, and building rapport. I spend the first session getting to know your perspective on the issues you may be dealing with. I focus on unconditional acceptance of in the individual and listen without judgement.
I don't like to compare myself to other counselors because I believe everyone has something to offer. I hold space and listen without judgement. I use reflection, gentle challenging, and perspective taking to help guide sessions. However, I am a firm believer that you are the expert in your own life. My goal is to help you realize your inner strengths and powers.
My dream clients are those seeking change and something different in their lives. I have specialized training in problematic sexual issues and addictions but I am open to any issues you may be dealing with. I find a niche in helping clients deal with big life transitions such as divorce, career transitions, family changes, etc. I look forward to helping you in any way I can.
Other specialties
I identify as
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy by helping clients identify their strengths, existing coping skills, and times when the presenting problem has been less intense or more manageable. I use techniques such as scaling questions, exception questions, and the miracle question to clarify goals and help clients envision meaningful change. Treatment focuses on small, realistic steps that build on what is already working and increase the client’s confidence in their ability to create positive change.
Sex Therapy
I use sex therapy to help clients improve their sexual well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. Treatment focuses on creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore concerns related to intimacy, desire, sexual functioning, communication, identity, and past experiences. I provide education, help clients challenge shame or unrealistic expectations, and teach practical communication and relationship skills. The goal is to help clients develop healthier attitudes toward sexuality, strengthen emotional and physical intimacy, and make informed choices that align with their values and needs.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients identify, understand, and express the emotions that influence their relationships and behavior. I assist clients in recognizing negative interaction patterns, increasing emotional awareness, and communicating their needs in healthier ways. The goal is to strengthen emotional connection, improve relationship security, and help clients respond to one another with greater empathy and understanding.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore their thoughts, feelings, and readiness for change in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Through open-ended questions, reflective listening, affirmations, and collaborative goal setting, I help clients identify personal reasons for change and work through ambivalence. The goal is to strengthen motivation, increase confidence, and support clients in making meaningful changes that align with their values.
