LPC, 20 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello and pleasure to meet you. Do you at times think "This is too much", "I feel lost" OR simply "Where do I even start"? As your therapist we can both work to help bring some clarity and action to these challenges you may be facing in life. Clinically, I specialize in treatment of Depression, Anxiety, Addiction, Trauma and Routine Stress in multiple settings (i.e private practice, treatment centers, hospitals, community agencies, and court systems).
Our first session will primarily be dedicated to me learning about what brought you to therapy and helping you formulate some goals for therapy. Throughout our sessions I help you recognize and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
My greatest strength is my vast experience I have in life. Throughout my 20 years of experience I have provided treatment in numerous areas. These areas include: private practice therapy, drug and gambling addiction treatment centers, mental health and medical hospitals, in-home or community counseling agencies, and juvenile court systems. As it pertains to the format of treatment (i.e. group, individual, etc.), it has been primarily individual, family and group but over the years other formats have been included (i.e. couples, play therapy, etc.)
Most of my clients are adults between the ages of 18-70 but occasionally I will meet with a teen/minor.
As your clinician, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to unpack any negative feelings you may have and process through any triggers, experiences, or behaviors that may be associated with those feelings. Over the years of my experience I have continuously used CBT to treat Depression, Anxiety, Addiction, Trauma and Routine Stress in multiple settings (i.e private practice, treatment centers, hospitals, community agencies, and court systems).
