New to Grow
I am a compassionate and results-driven Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 10 years of experience providing therapeutic support to children, adolescents, and families. I am skilled in building trust and rapport with young clients, developing age-appropriate interventions, and collaborating with caregivers, school teams, and case managers to foster emotional growth and resilience. I proudly serve diverse families from all backgrounds and tailor our services to meet the unique needs of each child and family unit.
In our first session I will work with both a parent and child or teen to understand their needs and challenges.

I will use active listen and ask supportive questions to better understand struggles or challenges.
