New to Grow
When people are challenged with changes that affect the ability to manage stressors, there comes a time for positive change and support. I am passionate about focusing on the healing process, whether it involves the challenges of exploring maladaptive behaviors or the triggers of trauma. I help my clients to find healthy coping mechanisms and self-autonomy which will lead to positive perceptions. This, in turn, creates personal identification and self-worth, thus creating healthy relationships. There is not one single approach for each individual, so I have trained in different modalities.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session will involve getting to know one another in terms of the needs to be addressed and the goals to be accomplished, but also to get a clear understanding of the individual as a whole and to gain a sense of comfort and rapport building as an integral part of the therapeutic relationship.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am very much about seeing the humanistic side of individuals and client centered in regards to letting the person feel that being yourself and transparent about your needs is essential in the progress of Therapy. My approach is to address the issues and discuss changes and the process of gaining this through establishing clear goals and adhering to measurable progress to keep track of positive outcomes and address challenges that might occur occurred during the process.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I hope my clients feel a sense of comfort and safety to be able to express whatever needs are and to understand that this is a place to be able to work on and process any issues without judgment. I introduced my clients to not only the tools and modalities used in sessions, but also to feel a more humanistic approach to the process of the therapeutic practice.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience in working with cognitive behavioral therapy, particularly helping individuals manage problems by changing unhelpful, thinking, and behavioral patterns. I focus on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions to improve coping skills for conditions, using practical and goal oriented strategies. I work on helping individuals, identify distorted negative thoughts and challenging them by replacing them with more realistic ones which helps to make situations feel more manageable and improving emotional regulation.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have extensive experience in using dialectical behavioral therapy, particularly in teaching distress tolerance, and emotional regulation to help with interpersonal effectiveness in relationships. I like to teach mindfulness as a means of learning, grounding techniques in clearing, intrusive, and negativistic thoughts with the ability to balance acceptance with change.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Are utilize this mindfulness based approach to help individuals stop struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings, and accept them as a part of life with commitment to actions aligned with their personal values to enhance the meaningfulness and purpose of their life and fostering, emotional flexibility. Are utilized mindfulness and exercises to guide individuals to accept inexperience’s and observe thoughts without judgment to clarify it really matters to them. We focused on the commitment action to increase the ability to handle life challenges.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I have a experience, using emotion, focused approaches as a primary focus of therapeutic change to help individuals, identify, experience, and transform, maladaptive emotional patterns to create more secure connections, and stronger, self identity. I assist individuals by guiding them to understand their deeper feelings behind surface reactions to build healthier ways of relating to and resolving issues.
