Clients begin counseling for a number of reasons and as the owner of Guided Growth Counseling, LLC, my aim is to ensure that when you begin your growth process with me you will feel that your needs are met with the compassion you deserve. I view the therapeutic bond as the most important aspect of counseling. Together we will work to understand what brings you to counseling and develop a plan to achieve your goals. I specialize in working with children struggling with social skills, anxiety, behavioral issues, and mood disorder, individuals with trauma including trafficking, and individuals on the autism spectrum.
I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective. We will explore patterns of thoughts and actions to better understand your problems and to develop solutions. For my younger clients, I often employ expressive and creative approaches including play and art. I also offer group counseling for specialized topics.
Every client is a respected partner in their own treatment. I acknowledge that the client is the expert on their own life. I value the client’s honesty and trust in the therapeutic process. If you are ready to begin your growth process or to have me work with your child on their growth, contact me today.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. During our initial sessions, we will work together to discover what is holding you back and create a plan on how you would like to move forward. Most of my clients see a gradual relief of symptoms within the first month and through the process they see sustained improvement.
