New to Grow
With over a decade of experience supporting adults, adolescents, children, and families, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they navigate meaningful and challenging chapters of their lives. My therapeutic approach is grounded in DBT, CBT, solution‑focused therapy, and client‑driven interventions. Blending these modalities allows me to tailor our work to your unique needs rather than relying on a one‑size‑fits‑all method. I strive to create a collaborative, supportive environment where growth feels possible and where you feel genuinely heard. My goal is to offer an experience filled with encouragement, compassionate challenging, and meaningful conversations that help you identify and overcome the barriers that have been getting in your way. Together, we work to build insight, strengthen resilience, and create new pathways toward the life you want to live. From the beginning, our therapeutic relationship is centered on partnership. We focus on understanding your goals, exploring what has been holding you back, and identifying the strengths you already possess. Therapy is not about perfection—it’s about progress, empowerment, and discovering what becomes possible when you have a safe space to explore, heal, and grow. If you’re seeking a therapist who will meet you where you are, honor your experiences, and walk with you as you create meaningful change, I would be honored to be part of your journey. My commitment is to offer individualized support that helps you move toward the version of yourself you’ve always hoped to become.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I believe you are the expert of your own life and that your experiences deserve to be understood in the context of your unique story. Because of that, you won’t receive a cookie‑cutter approach in our work together. Instead, you’ll receive an individualized plan shaped by your needs, your hopes, and the direction you want your life to move. In our first session, my focus is on building connection and beginning to establish trust in our therapeutic relationship. I want to learn about who you are, what led you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from this process. We’ll talk about your goals, the challenges you’re facing, and the strengths you already have—because those strengths will become part of the foundation we build on. From there, I use what you share to create a collaborative treatment plan that serves as the blueprint for every step we take. This plan guides our work, keeps us aligned with your priorities, and ensures that each session moves you closer to the outcomes that matter most to you. Throughout therapy, we work side‑by‑side to develop skills, deepen insight, and strengthen your ability to move forward with confidence. My role is to support you, challenge you when it’s helpful, and walk with you as you grow—not to dictate your path, but to help you uncover it. If you’re looking for a space where you are heard, understood, and actively involved in shaping your own healing, this is where your journey can begin.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Every person carries a story shaped by experiences, values, and challenges that are uniquely their own. Because of this, therapy should never be a standardized process. You deserve support that reflects who you are, what you’ve lived through, and where you want to go. My work is grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to help you uncover the strengths, insights, and direction already within you. With over a decade of experience supporting adults, adolescents, children, and families, I’ve learned that people grow most when therapy adapts to their needs—not the other way around. That’s why I use multiple modalities, including DBT, CBT, solution‑focused therapy, and client‑driven interventions. Each approach offers something different, and blending them allows me to create a flexible, individualized experience that shifts as your goals evolve. What makes my approach stand out is the intentional balance of structure and personalization. I don’t rely on a single method or a rigid formula. Instead, I pay close attention to what you need in each session—whether that’s skill‑building, emotional processing, problem‑solving, or exploring deeper patterns—and tailor our work accordingly. This ensures that therapy remains relevant, meaningful, and aligned with your growth. From the beginning, I focus on building a genuine connection. Trust is essential, and your first session is a space where I get to know you, your hopes for therapy, and the challenges you’ve been carrying. Together, we identify what matters most to you and begin shaping a collaborative plan that guides our work. This plan becomes a shared roadmap, helping us stay focused on your goals while allowing room for flexibility and discovery. My therapeutic style is warm, encouraging, and grounded in partnership. I believe in compassionate challenging—offering support while also helping you explore new perspectives, question old patterns, and step into growth with confidence. Our conversations are designed to be thoughtful and engaging, giving you space to reflect, gain clarity, and move forward with intention. Therapy becomes a place where you can safely explore the barriers that have been holding you back and begin creating new pathways toward the life you want. For clients who desire it, I also welcome the integration of faith into the therapeutic process. If you feel comfortable, we can incorporate Christian and faith‑based principles into our work—always hono
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is someone who comes to therapy with a genuine desire for change and a readiness to engage in the work that growth requires. They may not know exactly where to begin, but they feel a pull toward something better—greater clarity, healthier patterns, or a stronger sense of self. What matters most is that they are seeking support and open to the possibility that life can look different with guidance, effort, and collaboration. This client is willing to explore new ideas, try unfamiliar strategies, and step into experiences that may feel uncomfortable at first. They understand that meaningful change often requires moving beyond what is familiar, and they are open to being challenged in ways that are supportive, respectful, and growth‑oriented. They don’t need to have all the answers; they simply need to be willing to consider new perspectives and experiment with new ways of thinking and responding. Collaboration is central to our work together. My ideal client values a therapeutic relationship built on partnership—someone who shows up, participates actively, and is committed to the process even when it feels difficult. They recognize that therapy is not a passive experience but a shared effort, and they are ready to contribute their voice, insight, and willingness to grow. Above all, this client is committed to themselves. They are ready to invest in their wellbeing, challenge old patterns, and take intentional steps toward the life they want. They understand that progress may be gradual, but they are motivated to keep moving forward. With engagement, openness, and a willingness to stretch beyond their comfort zone, they create the conditions for meaningful and lasting change.

My treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
In Person‑Centered Therapy, my focus is on creating a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. I see you as the expert of your own life, and together we explore your experiences at a pace that feels right for you. I use this approach to build trust, strengthen our connection, and help you uncover your own insights and strengths. My role is to support and guide—not to direct—so you can grow in ways that feel authentic and meaningful to you.
Christian Counseling
If you desire Christian Counseling, I integrate faith‑based principles into our work in a way that honors your spiritual journey. You decide how much your faith is woven into therapy, and I follow your lead. We may explore scripture, values, or spiritual meaning alongside evidence‑based strategies. This approach allows you to connect emotional healing with your relationship with God, creating a holistic experience that supports both your faith and your mental wellbeing.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With CBT, I help you identify patterns in your thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we explore how these patterns affect your emotions and choices, and we practice healthier, more balanced ways of thinking. I use CBT to give you practical tools you can apply in daily life—skills that help you challenge negative thoughts, reduce anxiety, and build confidence. It’s a structured yet flexible approach that supports real, meaningful change.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
In DBT, we focus on building skills that help you manage emotions, handle stress, and improve relationships. I use DBT techniques like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and communication skills to help you feel more grounded and capable during difficult moments. We practice these skills together and apply them to real situations you face. DBT gives you tools to stay steady, respond thoughtfully, and move toward healthier patterns.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
With SFBT, we concentrate on what’s working and what you want your future to look like. I help you identify strengths, resources, and small steps that move you closer to your goals. Instead of focusing heavily on problems, we highlight possibilities and build momentum toward change. This approach is hopeful, practical, and empowering—helping you create meaningful progress by using the abilities you already have.
