New to Grow
My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being fully yourself, so our sessions won't feel overly clinical or judgmental. Together we'll work to understand your patterns, build practical coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful change that extends beyond our sessions. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, trauma-informed approaches, and nervous system regulation strategies while tailoring treatment to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, motherhood overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin moving forward with confidence.
During our first session, my goal is getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions about your current concerns, important life experiences, relationships, and any factors that may be contributing to the challenges you're facing today. This helps me begin understanding your story and developing a treatment plan that fits your unique needs. You don't need to come to our first session with everything figured out. Many clients aren't sure exactly where to start, and that's okay. My approach is collaborative and conversational. By the end of our first few sessions, my hope is that you'll feel heard, understood, and have a clearer sense of where we're headed and how therapy can help.
My professional experience, combined with my experiences as a wife, mother, and business owner, allows me to connect deeply with many of the challenges my clients face. I understand the realities of balancing multiple responsibilities, navigating relationships, managing stress, and trying to care for others while also seeking to maintain some sense of self and seek personal growth. While every person's story is unique, I bring both professional expertise and genuine human understanding to the therapy room.
My ideal clients are women who are tired of carrying the weight of everything on their own. Many are highly capable, dependable people who show up for their families, careers, and relationships, yet struggle privately with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, burnout, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Some are navigating the challenges of motherhood, major life transitions, difficult relationships, or the lasting impact of past experiences. They may feel stuck in patterns they don't fully understand and want more than quick fixes. Instead, they want meaningful insight and lasting change. I work best with clients who are open to self-reflection, curious about their experiences, and ready to better understand themselves while developing practical tools to create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, such as self-criticism, anxiety, perfectionism, or people-pleasing. Rather than simply talking about problems, we work on practical strategies that you can use in everyday life to feel more confident, balanced, and in control. Additionally, I believe that before trying to change a pattern, it's important to understand it. I help my clients explore how their experiences, relationships, and life circumstances have shaped the ways they think, feel, and respond to challenges today. Often, what feels like a personal flaw begins to make much more sense when viewed in context.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
After difficult experiences, it's common to develop beliefs about ourselves, other people, or the world that once helped us make sense of what happened. In therapy, we'll explore those beliefs with curiosity rather than judgment, looking at how they may be affecting your life today and whether there might be a more balanced and compassionate way to view yourself and your experiences.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
We can't change what we don't notice. I use mindfulness to help clients slow down and pay attention to what's happening beneath the surface. Noticing the thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and patterns that often go unnoticed in the busyness of daily life. By intentionally seeking more awareness of these experiences, clients are often able to respond to themselves with more understanding, make choices that align with their values, and feel less controlled by stress, anxiety, or overwhelming emotions.
