New to Grow
I believe in creating a space where you don’t have to perform or pretend. Therapy with me is collaborative and deeply human — a place where emotions are welcomed, questions are explored, and growth unfolds naturally. I help individuals navigate OCD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, women’s issues, and seasons of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Together, we work toward clarity, emotional resilience, and a stronger connection to who you truly are. I believe my experience living in 11 countries across South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa has shaped a deep sense of cultural awareness and sensitivity. I bring this perspective into my work with clients from diverse backgrounds, honoring each individual’s values, beliefs, and personal worldview. Therapy with me is grounded in respect, curiosity, and a commitment to understanding your unique story.
In our first session, we will: Talk through what led you to seek therapy right now Explore your current challenges (anxiety, OCD, relationships, stress, transitions, etc.) Begin understanding patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and relationships Discuss your goals for therapy—what you’re hoping will feel different in your life Go over logistics like frequency, pacing, and what ongoing sessions might look like
One of my greatest strengths is creating a space where clients feel both deeply seen and gently guided. I balance compassion with clarity—so you’re not just talking, but actually moving forward. Clients often share that they feel at ease quickly. I offer a steady, grounded space where you can slow down and be honest without fear of judgment. I listen for patterns beneath the surface—helping you connect dots between your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a way that brings real clarity. Alongside deeper work, I provide tangible tools and strategies you can use in your everyday life—especially for anxiety, OCD, and emotional overwhelm. I don’t just sit back and listen—I actively guide the process so therapy feels purposeful, not stuck. I build trust quickly and value authenticity. Our relationship becomes a safe foundation for meaningful change.
I work with women, men, or teen/college students who appears high-functioning on the outside but is quietly carrying significant internal stress. They may be struggling with anxiety, OCD, relationship challenges, life transitions, or burnout, and feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, emotional exhaustion, or disconnection. They are often: Thoughtful, self-aware, and motivated for change Open to both practical tools and deeper emotional work Seeking clarity, peace, and a stronger sense of identity Feeling overwhelmed by expectations (internal or external) Longing for more grounded relationships and emotional stability Some may also desire to integrate their faith into the therapy process, while others simply want a safe, steady place to process and grow.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to helo clients challenge unproductive thoughts, reframe thoughts, and feel powerful over anxious thoughts.
Christian Counseling
I work with Christians by using scripture to help them cope with anxiety and depression.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I use ERP to help clients who struggle with OCD by safely exposing individuals to triggers (exposure) while abstaining from compulsive behaviors (response prevention).
Faith based therapy
I work with clients who find their faith practice helpful in therapy.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT in therapy by helping clients accept uncomfortable thoughts, detaching from unhelpful thoughts (defusion), being present, observing self, clarifying values, and taking committed action.
