New to Grow
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who works from a holistic, culturally informed lens, supporting people in reconnecting with their inner strength and sense of self. My approach integrates evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and body-based awareness, honoring the whole person and their lived experiences. I’m especially drawn to working with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, and identity development that doesn’t fit neatly into cultural and societal prescribed boxes.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll get to know each other and begin exploring what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask about your goals, any current challenges, and parts of your personal history that feel important to share. We’ll move at your pace. There’s no pressure to dive into everything right away. My priority is to create a sense of safety, clarity, and collaboration so we can build a foundation for our therapeutic relationship. The therapeutic relationship is the most meaningful part of our work together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths is creating a grounded, compassionate space where clients feel both seen and challenged in a supportive way. Clients often share that they feel empowered, more connected to themselves, and equipped with practical tools to navigate life with greater clarity and resilience.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I support clients who are high-achieving, self-aware, and often seen as the “strong one” in their circles, but who are carrying unspoken stress, burnout, or unresolved trauma. My ideal clients are ready to move beyond survival mode and are seeking a deeper sense of emotional clarity, nervous system regulation, and inner alignment. Many are navigating identity shifts, career transitions, relationship patterns, or healing from generational wounds. Whether you’re processing trauma, exploring your purpose, or simply craving a space to exhale. I offer a grounded, culturally sensitive space to support your growth and healing.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness is often woven into sessions through simple grounding practices, reflection, and pacing that supports the nervous system. For many clients, this becomes a foundation for managing anxiety, burnout, and life changes with more ease and self-trust.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT as a supportive and flexible framework rather than a rigid, worksheet-driven approach. My work focuses on helping clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns, emotional reactions, and behaviors that may be contributing to stress, anxiety, or feeling stuck.
Trauma Informed Care
I prioritize emotional safety, choice, and respect for each client’s pace and lived experience. Trauma informed therapy recognizes that stress, anxiety, and emotional patterns are often shaped by experiences and external factors beyond a person’s control. I work collaboratively and move at the client’s pace, without requiring them to revisit or relive experiences before they are ready. This approach supports regulation, creates a sense of safety from within, and helps restore personal trust and emotional stability over time.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution Focused Brief Therapy as a collaborative, forward looking approach that builds on a client’s existing strengths and values. SFBT helps to refine direction and behavioral changes to achieve personal goals.
