New to Grow
Hi, I’m a licensed therapist in New York with nine years of experience working with adults, teens, and families, especially during times of crisis. I take a warm, client-centered approach and tailor therapy to fit your unique needs and goals. I often use evidence-based methods like CBT to help with anxiety, depression, and trauma, while also creating a supportive space where you feel heard and understood. For clients who value it, I’m also able to incorporate faith into the work as a source of strength and guidance.
I work with individuals navigating depression and trauma-related stress. In our initial sessions, we will complete a comprehensive assessment and develop a personalized treatment plan aligned with your unique needs and goals. My approach emphasizes creating a safe, supportive space where you can build coping skills, process challenging experiences, and strengthen your sense of self. Over time, clients often experience meaningful improvements in mood, resilience, and overall well-being.
What stands out about my approach is my ability to integrate evidence-based therapies, including CBT and Person-Centered Therapy, with a compassionate, client-centered foundation. I tailor each session to the individual, incorporating faith-based perspectives when meaningful to the client. With a background in crisis work and strong case management skills, I provide both immediate support and practical tools for long-term growth. Clients often value my balance of empathy and structure, helping them feel supported while making meaningful, lasting changes.
I am best positioned to serve clients who are seeking a supportive, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space to explore their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. I work well with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship challenges, particularly those who are motivated to better understand themselves and develop practical coping strategies for everyday life. I am especially well-suited to support clients who value a collaborative and client-centered approach, where they feel heard, respected, and empowered to guide their own healing process. I also work effectively with individuals who wish to integrate their faith or spirituality into therapy, using it as a source of strength, meaning, and resilience. Overall, I am best positioned to serve clients who are open to self-reflection, interested in personal growth, and willing to engage in developing new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving to improve their overall well-being.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) guides my clinical approach, as I strive to create a non-directive, empathetic, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment in which clients feel safe to explore their experiences. I view clients as the experts of their own lives and aim to support their innate capacity for growth and self-healing.
Faith based therapy
Faith-based therapy informs my clinical approach by integrating traditional mental health techniques with clients’ spiritual beliefs and values. This approach allows clients to explore concerns such as anxiety, depression, and relational challenges through the lens of their faith, fostering a sense of meaning, hope, and alignment between their psychological and spiritual well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my sessions to help clients address mental health concerns by identifying and modifying maladaptive thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors. This approach emphasizes present-focused problem-solving while acknowledging the influence of past experiences on current functioning. Together, we work to develop practical coping strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.
