New to Grow
With over 30 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a deep understanding of the therapeutic process and a strong commitment to helping individuals thrive. I have served in a wide range of clinical and leadership roles-therapist, clinical supervisor, clinical director, and adjunct professor-and have worked in diverse settings such as group homes, outpatient clinics, mental health centers, schools, and most recently, private practice. Licensed as an LPC in Colorado and an LMHC in Florida, I am committed to providing effective, compassionate care that is both present-focused and future-oriented—helping clients move forward with clarity, confidence, and hope.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, you can expect a supportive, judgment free conversation where we explore what's bringing you in, clarify your goals for treatment, review relevant history and begin identifying practical next steps so you begin feeling greater clarity and direction.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I help clients achieve real results by combining evidence based therapy methods with a supportive, trusting therapeutic relationship. I focus on building strong rapport with my clients so that you will feel heard and understood, while using practical, goal oriented strategies to help you feel better, think more clearly and make meaningful progress in your life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
If you are feeling anxious or depressed, or navigating a life transition, unexpected stress or a season that feels heavier than it should, I provide a supportive, practical space to help you regain clarity, build resilience and move forward with confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected, and to build practical skills that create healthier patterns and real-life change.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness based therapy to help clients slow down, become more aware of their thoughts and emotions without judgment, and develop a calmer, more grounded way of responding to life's challenges.
Positive Psychology
I use positive psychology techniques to help client's build on their strengths, increase resilience and intentionally cultivate habits that support greater meaning, confidence and overall well-being.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use solution focused brief treatment techniques to help clients clarify their goals, build on what's already working and create practical, achievable steps towards meaningful change.
