New to Grow
Clients often come to me after trying therapy before but still feeling stuck. We focus on what’s actually maintaining the problem—and how to move forward in a way that feels manageable and sustainable. Many of my clients have told me that they find me relatable. They like that because it feels less intimidating. I agree. I prefer people to be honest, open, and sharing. They can expect the same from me.
During the first session we will be going over the reason(s) you are seeking my help. I will be asking you general questions to better understand you and the help you need. You can ask me all the questions that pop in your head while we are interacting. Therapy shouldn't feel like censorship. During the first session and during all future sessions, I expect you to be honest with me and straightforward, so I can adjust as necessary to better help you, and you are happier with the results of your therapy journey.
My approach is: clear, direct, and practical focused on both insight and real change grounded, supportive, and non-judgmental In our work together, and if relevant, we focus on: reducing anxiety and stress improving emotional regulation working through burnout strengthening relationships navigating life transitions with more clarity and confidence. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, burnout, stress, or relationship challenges, and want a clear, practical approach, we’ll likely be a good fit.
Do you find yourself holding it together on the outside—but feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or exhausted underneath? I work with high-functioning adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship issues, and life transitions. Many of my clients are successful on the outside but feel stuck, overthinking, or emotionally drained. With over 25 years of experience, I help clients understand and change the patterns that keep anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges going.
Trauma Informed Care
Regulating your nervous system is essential to healing, growing, becoming emotionally stronger, or feeling grounded. Teaching people how to regulate their dysregulated nervous system is an important part of how I help them.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
There is a clear connection between people's cognition (e.g., thoughts, memories, beliefs...), their emotions and physical sensations, and their behavior. Overtime, patterns emerge, positive and negative. I help people identify positive patterns of cognition/emotion-sensation/behavior to be strengthened, and negative patterns to be disrupted.
Integrative
All models of therapy have useful concepts, principles, and techniques. I'm not stuck in one model or another. I use what works.
