New to Grow
Clients often describe my style as warm, approachable, and refreshingly direct. I believe in balancing empathy with honest conversations, helping you better understand yourself while building practical tools you can use in everyday life. I work collaboratively with clients of all ages, celebrating progress along the way while gently encouraging growth outside of your comfort zone. No matter what brings you to therapy, I'm here to help you feel more confident, connected, and equipped to move forward.
Therapy can feel intimidating, but it does not have to be. My goal is to create a welcoming, safe space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you are navigating a difficult season or seeking long-term personal growth, I am here to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
I work with clients across the lifespan, from children to adults, and offer guidance for a wide range of areas. I bring a warm, energetic, and direct approach to therapy, combining support with practical strategies to help you grow. Together we will explore your goals, develop coping skills, and work toward lasting change.
My ideal client is someone who is ready to invest in themselves, even if they're not sure exactly where to start. They may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or navigating a major life transition, but they're open to self-exploration and willing to work collaboratively toward meaningful change. I value honest conversations, curiosity, and a willingness to practice new skills both in and outside of sessions. Whether you're seeking support through a difficult season or looking to build a more fulfilling life, I'm here to help you take those next steps with confidence.
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps identify the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we'll recognize unhelpful patterns, develop healthier ways of thinking, and build practical coping strategies to improve your emotional well-being.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT focuses on building skills to better manage intense emotions, navigate relationships, tolerate distress, and stay present. This approach is especially helpful for individuals who want to improve emotional regulation and create lasting behavioral change.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP is an evidence-based treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety-related conditions. Together, we'll gradually face fears in a supportive, structured way while reducing compulsive behaviors, helping you regain confidence and freedom.
Grief Therapy
Grief looks different for everyone. Whether you're coping with the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or another significant life change, grief therapy provides a compassionate space to process your emotions, find meaning, and move forward at your own pace.
