New to Grow
Congratulations on your desire to put yourself first (I like to think this is one of the most beautiful forms of self-care)! Seeking counseling support is not an easy task; so, I appreciate your willingness to connect with me. I hold clinical experience in rehabilitation counseling and mental health counseling support. My specialty areas reflect exploring identity and role confusion, navigating fraudulence per Impostor feelings/emotions, and conflict resolution.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Per our collaborative journey, you can expect a counselor that will not apply a "one-size-fits-all" approach and one that will meet you with empathy, compassion, and transparency. In our work together, I will confidently confront, challenge, empower you not to be "perfect", but to be honest with who and where you are, and acknowledge the spaces you hope to grow into.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is my authenticity of self and truly being present with my clients as they explore their clinical needs. As a person-centered clinician, I believe clients are the author of their narratives and know themselves best. From this lens, I offer transparency, unconditional positive regard, genuineness, and empathy throughout their clinical journey and offer collaborative support as we develop a treatment plan that will aid measurable outcomes. My gentle and supportive approach to counseling allows a safe space for clients to confront their areas of potential growth and further identify their strengths.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am a person-centered clinician that implement the following theories based on client need: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and psychodynamic counseling. With an aim to reduce obstacles and/or personal challenges through empowerment, goal development, and authentic collaboration, we will establish a game plan to tackle life's many demands through individualized counseling support that will aid your mental and overall wellbeing. My prospective clients are individuals that are intentional and compassionate with themselves as they grow in their self-awareness, self-efficacy, and self-actualization, and embrace clinical challenges and/or confrontation with optimism rather than defensiveness.
