LPC, 10 years of experience
New to Grow
With 10 years experience working in the mental health field providing services in outpatient, school and community settings, I have a wide array of knowledge and support to offer. Prior to obtaining my LPC, I used my BSL (behavior specialist license) and worked as a behavior consultant in the school setting and with families in their homes. I also worked as a family therapist providing in home and community support to families with conflict using a systemic approach to treatment. All throughout my career, I have worked with adults and children using a person centered and strength based approach to treatment.
Our first session will establish a rapport and continue to build a therapeutic rapport throughout treatment. Giving you the chance to decide if you feel comfortable with me as your therapist. We will work together as I provide active listening to your purpose and need for treatment. I will give you the chance to ask questions and work with me in setting up direction for your treatment.
As a compassionate and understanding therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and stressors to achieve personal growth in becoming a healthier person. I use a strength based approach to treatment, using CBT to reframe negative thinking and give new perspective while using psychoeducation to teach you and learn skills to regulate your nervous system.
I take pride in providing a safe and empathetic environment. I promote a space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings while creating a new sense of security through learning skills and techniques to be a healthier person. I have experience in working with children, adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, emotion regulation, personality disorders, bipolar, schizophrenia and schizoaffective. As well as those struggling with new life roles, changes in family dynamics, and conflict within the family.
Recognizing and challenging negative thought patterns to improve overall well being.
Focusing on client needs and goals, encouraging self discovery and self acceptance throughout treatment.
Helping clients to understand their mental health conditions, symptoms and treatment.
