LPC, 12 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience helping people navigate life’s changes. Grounded in both my professional expertise and a deep sense of empathy, I strive to bring warmth, understanding, and genuine care into my work. I specialize in supporting individuals through the process of navigating life’s changes and transitions. To include anxiety, depression, relationships and/or marital concerns, stress management, and grief/loss. In therapy, I aim to assess and understand the root of the issue. While creating a safe space to explore past and present experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and build on existing strengths. My goal is to support you in finding clarity, strength, and growth as you move through life’s challenges.
You can expect a warm and supportive space where we’ll get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to better understand your goals, challenges, and strengths, while also giving you the chance to share at your own pace.
I focus on getting to the root of challenges rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms. I combine evidence-based methods like CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy with a compassionate, person-centered style, helping clients use their own strengths to create meaningful and lasting change.
You may be feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or struggling with major life changes and aren’t sure where to begin. Many of the people I work with want to feel “better” but may not have the words for what that means yet, or may feel weighed down by anxiety and uncertainty. My role is to create a supportive space where you can sort through those feelings, gain clarity, and begin to tap into the strengths you already have. Together, we work on practical strategies to reduce stress, build confidence, and help you feel more grounded as you move toward the life you want.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and patterns that often fuel stress or hold them back. Together, we practice simple, practical tools, like reframing negative thoughts or trying out new behaviors, that can be applied in everyday life. I value CBT because it’s collaborative and goal-focused, giving real skills you can carry long after therapy ends.
I turn to Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) because it encourages clients to build on their existing strengths and successes. The focus is less on the problem and more on identifying practical steps and possibilities that can lead to progress. I value this approach for its empowering nature and its ability to help clients make meaningful changes efficiently.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is helpful to help clients recognize and express the emotions that shape their relationships. Rather than focusing solely on surface issues, the approach emphasizes strengthening emotional bonds and fostering secure connections. EFT is valued for its ability to promote deeper understanding, healing, and lasting change in how individuals relate to themselves and others.
I use the Person-Centered approach to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel respected, accepted, and understood. By focusing on empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, I encourage clients to explore their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. This approach helps individuals connect with their own strengths and move toward personal growth and self-fulfillment.
