New to Grow
I am a licensed therapist providing trauma-informed care to adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, and relationship challenges. I employ an eclectic, client-centered approach that integrates psychoeducation with evidence-based interventions to help clients gain a deeper understanding of their emotional and behavioral patterns. My work focuses on building insight, strengthening coping and regulation skills, and supporting meaningful, sustainable change that improves overall well-being and quality of life.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In your first session, you can expect a supportive and collaborative conversation focused on understanding what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain. We’ll review your history at a pace that feels comfortable, discuss your goals, and begin identifying next steps together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What sets my approach apart is the integration of trauma-informed care, psychoeducation, and practical skill-building. Clients gain a clearer understanding of their patterns while developing tools that support emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and lasting change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best positioned to support clients who want more than symptom relief and are interested in understanding the “why” behind their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. If you’re open to self-reflection, learning new skills, and approaching healing in a structured but compassionate way, we may work well together.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns and build practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and emotional distress in daily life.
EMDR
I use EMDR to help clients safely process and heal from distressing memories that continue to impact their emotions, beliefs, and nervous system. Together, we identify and reprocess past experiences, reduce emotional reactivity, and build a greater sense of safety, self-trust, and resilience in daily life.
Eclectic
I practice from an eclectic, client-centered framework, selecting evidence-based interventions based on presenting concerns, readiness, and clinical presentation. This allows for flexibility while maintaining a strong foundation in trauma-informed and empirically supported treatment.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is a core component of my work, helping clients understand how trauma, substance use, and mental health symptoms impact the nervous system, emotions, and behavior. This knowledge supports insight, skill development, and increased self-efficacy.
Trauma Informed Care
I use trauma-informed therapy to help clients understand how past experiences impact their nervous system, emotions, and relationships. Together, we work to reduce trauma responses, build emotional regulation skills, and restore a sense of safety, stability, and self-trust in daily life.
