New to Grow
I am a dedicated licensed mental health counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve overall well-being. I am committed to providing empathetic and effective counseling services to individuals seeking support. I understand that seeking counseling can be a courageous step, and I am here to support you on your journey towards growth, healing, and self-discovery.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know one another and discuss what’s bringing you to therapy. I’ll ask about your current concerns, relevant history, and what you hope to gain from counseling. Together, we’ll begin identifying your goals and what support looks like for you. My aim is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable moving at a pace that feels right for you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths as a therapist include creating a warm, supportive space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. I take a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that blends empathy with practical strategies, helping clients gain insight while also making meaningful, real-life changes. I am especially skilled at helping clients navigate life transitions, strengthen communication and boundaries, and build resilience by identifying and using their existing strengths.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are individuals who are navigating life transitions, emotional stress, or feeling overwhelmed by personal, relational, or professional challenges. I work best with clients who are seeking growth, healing, and greater self-awareness, and who are open to developing practical tools to support their emotional well-being. Whether you are coping with anxiety, relationship concerns, burnout, or simply feeling stuck, I provide a supportive space to help you build clarity, resilience, and confidence as you move forward.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a therapist, I am deeply passionate about helping clients transform their lives. In my work, I guide my clients in challenging and reframing negative thought patterns that often keep them stuck. CBT equips people with practical skills to identify cognitive distortions, develop healthier coping strategies, and foster a more positive mindset. I find great fulfillment in witnessing my clients’ growth and resilience as they learn to navigate their thoughts and emotions more effectively. By empowering them to take an active role in their mental health journey, I help create lasting change that enhances their overall well-being.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients build psychological flexibility and live more meaningful, values-driven lives. My approach supports clients in accepting difficult thoughts and emotions without judgment, developing mindfulness skills, clarifying personal values, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Together, we focus on staying present, reducing the impact of unhelpful thinking patterns, and creating sustainable change aligned with what matters most.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients identify strengths, clarify goals, and create meaningful change often more quickly than expected. This approach is especially supportive for those feeling stuck or overwhelmed, as we focus on what’s working and build small, achievable steps forward. I work with individuals and couples to strengthen confidence, connection, and emotional balance during life transitions, relationship challenges, and periods of stress.
