New to Grow
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor providing individual therapy for adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, ADHD and insomnia. My approach is founded in psychodynamic principles. Depending on your needs and goals, I may also integrate other evidence-based approaches. I am a Certified Clinical Provider for ADHD, with specialized training in the assessment and treatment of ADHD and executive functioning challenges. In addition, I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), allowing me to provide specialized treatment for individuals struggling with chronic insomnia and sleep-related concerns. I aim to create a supportive space where you can build insight, develop practical coping skills, and make meaningful, lasting changes aligned with your values and goals.
In our first session, I’ll focus on getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask questions about your current concerns, relevant history, and goals so we can begin to understand your needs. We’ll also discuss what you’d like to get out of therapy and start identifying priorities for our work together. You’re welcome to move at your own pace, and there’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with. By the end of the session, we’ll begin outlining a plan for treatment and next steps.
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the underlying patterns that influence your emotional wellbeing, relationships, performance, and sense of self. I believe that greater self-awareness can foster meaningful and lasting change. My goal is to provide a thoughtful, collaborative, and individualized therapeutic experience that is responsive to your unique needs and circumstances.
My ideal clients are adults who are motivated to understand themselves better and make meaningful changes in their lives. I work well with individuals navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, ADHD and sleep difficulties. I’m especially a good fit for clients who are open to exploring patterns, building coping skills, and engaging in both insight-oriented and practical, skills-based work. I also support clients who value a collaborative approach to therapy while being open to reflection, mindfulness, and gradual behavioral change.

Psychodynamic
I use a psychodynamic approach to help clients understand how past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns influence current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By exploring these patterns, we gain insight, strengthen self-awareness, and create opportunities for lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)
When working with those struggling with insomnia disorder I use CBT-I to help clients improve sleep by identifying behaviors and thoughts that contribute to insomnia. Treatment may include sleep scheduling, stimulus control, sleep consolidation, relaxation techniques, and strategies to reduce worry about sleep and improve restful sleep.
