New to Grow
I am a compassionate and client-centered therapist who works with individuals, couples, children, and families. I believe therapy is most effective when it is personalized, supportive, and collaborative. Because every person’s experience is unique, I tailor my approach to meet each client’s specific needs, goals, and emotional readiness. My focus is always to meet clients where they are and help them move forward at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other, discussing what brought you to therapy, and identifying your goals. I’ll create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll begin building a plan using evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs.
My greatest strengths are meeting clients where they are, creating a supportive and nonjudgmental space, and building strong therapeutic trust. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and grounding techniques to help clients develop coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and make meaningful, lasting progress.
My ideal client is someone who is motivated and willing to actively engage in the therapeutic process to achieve meaningful change. I have experience working with a diverse range of clients, including individuals, couples, children, and families. I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the unique needs of each client, as I believe that no single method fits all. My primary focus is to meet clients where they are emotionally and mentally, and to provide support and guidance that fosters personal growth and lasting progress
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have experience using CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. In my practice, I use CBT techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and coping skill development to help clients build healthier thinking habits and improve daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT to support clients who struggle with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship challenges. In sessions, I teach DBT skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help clients manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and create more balanced, healthy relationships.
