New to Grow
I am a licensed professional counselor dedicated to supporting individuals, families, and groups through life’s challenges. My practice is grounded in creating a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and work toward meaningful goals. I draw on extensive experience across schools, hospitals, shelters, and community agencies to help clients build resilience, insight, and overall well-being.
In your first session, you can expect a welcoming, supportive conversation focused on getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. We will talk about your current concerns, relevant background, and what you hope to gain from the process. I will also explain how therapy works, answer any questions you may have, and discuss confidentiality and informed consent. Together, we will begin identifying goals and outlining a direction for our work, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I bring a calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental presence to each session, with a focus on building genuine connection and trust. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, honoring each person’s unique experiences and goals. I draw on experience working in diverse settings—including schools, hospitals, shelters, and community agencies—which has strengthened my ability to support individuals facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges. I am attentive, grounded, and committed to helping clients build insight, resilience, and practical tools for growth.
I am best positioned to serve individuals, families, and groups who are navigating emotional distress, life transitions, or challenging and unfamiliar circumstances and who are seeking a supportive, collaborative space to work toward improved well-being. I work well with clients experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma-related stress, overwhelming life stressors, and difficulty coping with change. Many of the people I support are in situations where emotions feel intense, confusing, or difficult to manage on their own, and they benefit from a grounded, nonjudgmental environment to process what they are experiencing. My therapeutic approach aligns with clients whose goals include building healthier coping skills, increasing emotional regulation, improving communication and relationships, processing difficult experiences, and developing greater self-understanding and stability. I aim to help clients move toward clarity, resilience, and personally meaningful change through an authentic and supportive therapeutic relationship.
