New to Grow
I’m a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents and adults through anxiety, stress, and life’s many transitions. I strive to create a space that feels welcoming, supportive, and genuine—where you can be yourself and don’t need to have everything figured out. I’ve worked in both hospital and school settings, supporting emotional well-being across different stages of life. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical, helping you feel grounded and supported.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session is a space to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask some questions to understand your concerns and goals, and you’re welcome to share at your own pace—there’s no pressure to tell everything right away. We’ll also review what therapy with me looks like and address any questions you have. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, heard, and supported as we decide next steps together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with clients in a genuine, compassionate way. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where people feel comfortable opening up, and I listen closely so I can support them in ways that truly fit their needs.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, down, or stuck, you’re not alone. I work with individuals who are navigating these challenges, and together we’ll gently focus on what feels most supportive for you, using practical tools tailored to your life and goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My approach is grounded in CBT, which focuses on recognizing and changing thought patterns that affect emotions and behavior. Therapy is collaborative and skills-based, with tools you can use both in and outside of sessions.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
My approach incorporates DBT, which focuses on teaching concrete skills such as mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Therapy is collaborative and centered on applying these skills in daily life.
