New to Grow
I provide a safe and nurturing space for children, teens, and moms navigating the challenges of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. I specialize in helping young people and mothers who often carry the emotional weight of caring for others while struggling to care for themselves. My approach focuses on helping children and teens better understand their emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and build confidence in who they are. For moms, I offer support in managing the pressures of parenthood, overcoming self-doubt, and finding balance and self-compassion. Whether it’s calming racing thoughts, lifting the heaviness of depression, or rediscovering your inner strength, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, understanding, and encouragement. Together, we’ll navigate the tides of life and create space for peace, healing, and renewal—I welcome you to begin your journey toward finding your own mental oasis amid the waves of life. 🌊 Take the first step today—reach out to schedule a session and start creating your calm within the storm.
During your first session, you can expect a welcoming, supportive space where we’ll focus on getting to know you and what brought you to therapy. I’ll invite you to share your story at your own pace—there’s no pressure to have everything figured out. Together, we’ll explore your goals, discuss what’s been feeling challenging, and begin identifying the areas you’d like to work on. I’ll also explain my therapeutic approach and answer any questions you have, so you feel comfortable and informed about the process. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the steps ahead.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection. I draw from attachment-based, emotionally focused, humanistic, and positive psychology approaches—integrating Christian counseling for those who wish to include faith in their healing. Sessions are personalized, compassionate, and practical, helping kids, teens, and moms feel seen, supported, and empowered. Clients often leave therapy with greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and confidence to navigate life’s challenges with renewed hope.
My ideal client is navigating significant life transitions, feeling overwhelmed or stuck. They often struggle with anxiety, depression, or self-doubt, impacting their daily lives or relationships. They need a safe space to explore their feelings and develop coping strategies. Their goals include achieving emotional balance, improving self-esteem, and fostering healthier relationships. Ultimately, they want to feel empowered and in control, seeking happiness and connection to cultivate a more fulfilling life.
I use attachment-based theory to help clients understand how early relationships shape the way they connect with others today. By exploring those patterns, we can strengthen their sense of security, build healthier connections, and create more fulfilling relationships—with themselves and others.
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help clients understand the deeper emotions driving their thoughts and behaviors. Together, we work on identifying emotional patterns, strengthening emotional awareness, and fostering safe, supportive connections in relationships. EFT allows clients to heal from disconnection and develop new ways of relating that promote closeness, trust, and emotional safety.
For clients who wish to include faith in their healing process, I offer Christian counseling that integrates biblical principles with evidence-based therapeutic approaches. This allows clients to explore emotional struggles, strengthen their relationship with God, and find peace and direction through both faith and psychology. My goal is to support each person’s spiritual and emotional growth in a compassionate, nonjudgmental space.
I use a humanistic approach that focuses on each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and inner potential. I believe clients are the experts of their own lives, and my role is to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where they feel safe to explore who they are, what they value, and how they want to grow. Together, we work toward greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and a stronger sense of purpose.
I integrate positive psychology principles to help clients recognize and build upon their strengths, resilience, and capacity for joy. Through gratitude, mindfulness, and growth-oriented practices, clients learn to shift from simply coping with challenges to thriving and finding meaning in their daily lives. This approach encourages hope, empowerment, and lasting well-being.
