LCSW, 15 years of experience
New to Grow
With over 15 years of experience, I am a licensed therapist (LCSW) who brings warmth, insight, and expertise to individual and couples therapy. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma recovery, and couples work. I am passionate about helping people build resilience, break through emotional barriers, and find clarity in times of uncertainty. I am dedicated to creating a safe, collaborative space where meaningful and lasting change can take place.
Working with me begins with a thoughtful, collaborative intake process where we explore your goals, history, and what brings you to therapy. I take time to build a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood—this foundation is key to meaningful progress. Therapy with me is active and engaging. I use evidence-based approaches to help you move through challenges, build resilience, and develop tools that support real, lasting change. I especially enjoy working with individuals navigating life transitions, recovering from trauma, or managing high levels of stress or anxiety.
my greatest strengths lie in building genuine, trusting therapeutic relationships and tailoring evidence-based approaches to meet each client’s unique needs. I bring a grounded, trauma-informed perspective to my work, integrating modalities such as CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy to foster meaningful, lasting change. My approach is compassionate yet goal-oriented, helping clients feel both supported and empowered as they navigate their healing journey. I’m especially skilled at creating a safe, collaborative space where clients feel seen, understood, and motivated to grow.
I value clients who are curious about themselves, open to the process, and ready to do the work—even if that means starting small.
As a trauma-informed therapist I integrate CBT into sessions by applying its structured, evidence-based techniques—such as identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts—within a safe, collaborative environment that prioritizes emotional regulation, empowerment, and sensitivity to your trauma history.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) uses a collaborative, empathetic, and non-judgmental approach to strengthen your intrinsic motivation for change—honoring your autonomy, exploring any ambivalence with compassion, and fostering lasting engagement in the therapeutic process.
Person-Centered Therapy creates a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely heard and valued—empowering you to lead your healing process through unconditional positive regard, authenticity, and deep empathic understanding.
