New to Grow
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted—even though you “seem fine” on the outside? I work with adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or worn down from carrying too much for too long. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals or caregivers who struggle with anxiety, stress, trauma, or feeling disconnected from themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I use trauma-informed CBT and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients feel more grounded, regulate emotions, and build healthier coping skills—without judgment or pressure. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to have it all together. We move at your pace and focus on practical tools you can actually use in daily life.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our initial visits, we identify the main issues, provide education, and discuss treatment goals. Using a compassionate, collaborative approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact—and how small shifts can lead to meaningful change. We'll explore patterns that keep you stuck and build practical tools for coping, connection, and clarity.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I combine trauma-informed care with practical coping tools to help clients feel grounded and empowered—not overwhelmed. I work especially well with high-functioning adults who feel anxious, burned out, or emotionally stuck, and I prioritize emotional safety, pacing, and real-life application of skills.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with caregivers, healthcare professionals, and adults facing chronic stress who feel emotionally overwhelmed or exhausted. Many of my clients appear high functioning but often feel overwhelmed and guilty about prioritizing their own needs. They believe they must manage everything alone, leading to emotional fatigue from over-giving. They also struggle with self-criticism and perfectionism, feel disconnected, and are unsure how to slow down. In therapy, we develop stress-management and emotional-regulation skills to promote calmness and groundedness. I address the effects of stress and trauma on the nervous system, emphasize setting healthy boundaries, and work on reconnecting with personal needs and values while building sustainable coping strategies for daily life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In the initial sessions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in understanding how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, which can help with addressing ongoing emotional stressors. By exploring and understanding your core beliefs, you can improve your self-awareness and better understand your internal motivations.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness and acceptance practices to help individuals manage unwanted thoughts and feelings, promote self-acceptance, and encourage changes that align with their values.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy is used to explore an individual’s past, including childhood experiences and relationships. This approach aims to uncover unconscious motivations and unresolved conflicts that may impact mental health. The goal is to help clients understand how their history influences their present behavior and to enhance their self-awareness.
Trauma-Focused CBT
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a structured method designed to help you process and heal from trauma. I will guide you at a comfortable pace as we develop coping skills, explore the impact of trauma on your thoughts and emotions, and work to reduce distress.
