LPC, 12 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a licensed therapist trained in a variety of evidence-based practices. This means that I am able to help you address your individual concerns, and support you in your unique journey. Throughout therapy we will explore the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that contribute to developing a healthy, productive lifestyle. My personalized treatment may include Exposure Response Prevention, Person-Centered, or Trauma-Informed a[proaches based on a client's needs.
The initial session is a comprehensive bio-psycho-social evaluation and intake where I learn about your life experiences and begin to develop an understanding of contributing factors that may be impacting a client's current functioning.
I am committed to learning who you are and what it is you need to feel successful in your personal journey towards mental, spiritual, and physical health and well-being.
My clients are people having difficulty managing their mood, their functioning, or their thinking. This often presents as anxiety or worry, depression, or burnout. Therapy will focus on assisting client in identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that support their current state, and learning to shape and develop new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.
I utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as my primary approach, and enhance work with use of Trauma-Informed therapy (CBT-TI) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approachs to tailor treatment to fit each client's unique needs.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) specifically designed to treat Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative therapeutic approach that focuses on healing the inner "parts" of an individual. Each part is unique and holds different feelings, behaviors, and beliefs that together shape the individual’s internal system.
The goal of therapy is for client's to become self-reliant. Psychoeducation is essential to provide individuals with knowledge, skills, and support to better understand and manage their mental health.
