New to Grow
You don't have to keep carrying everything on your own. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating the effects of past experiences, struggling in relationships, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place where things begin to make sense. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, low self-esteem, stress, and substance use concerns. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, heal the patterns that are holding you back, and provide you with the guidance and practical tools to create meaningful, lasting change.
Our first session is simply an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and heard. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, the challenges you're currently facing, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I'll ask questions to better understand your experiences, strengths, and goals, while giving you the space to share at a pace that feels right for you. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. Together, we'll discuss what you want from therapy and create a plan that feels meaningful and realistic. My goal is for you to leave our first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful that meaningful change is possible.
My goal is for you to feel greater clarity, confidence, and practical tools you can apply in your everyday life. Throughout our work together, I'll provide personalized guidance, support, and evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique needs, helping you build healthier patterns, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. Clients often describe me as warm, genuine, and easy to connect with, while appreciating my ability to balance compassion with honest, thoughtful guidance.
Other specialties
I identify as
Attachment-based
Many of the ways we relate to ourselves and others are shaped by our earliest relationships and life experiences. I help clients understand how these patterns may be showing up in their current relationships, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work to build healthier ways of connecting, improve communication, strengthen self-worth, and create more secure and fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, stress, or low self-esteem. Together, we explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another and develop practical tools to respond differently. My approach is collaborative and focuses on creating lasting changes that you can apply in everyday life.
Grief Therapy
Grief can come from many types of loss, including the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, life transitions, or changes in your sense of identity. I provide a compassionate space where you can process your emotions without judgment or pressure. Together, we'll work toward understanding your experience, honoring your loss, and finding ways to move forward while carrying what is meaningful with you.
Trauma Informed Care
I recognize that past experiences can shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world. My approach prioritizes creating a safe, supportive environment where you can process difficult experiences at your own pace without feeling pressured. Together, we focus on building coping skills, restoring a sense of safety, and supporting healing.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling understood and accepted. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we work to better understand your experiences, strengthen your confidence, and help you move toward the life you want to create. I believe you already have many strengths, even if they don't feel obvious right now. Together, we'll identify those strengths and use them as a foundation for overcoming challenges, building resilience, and creating lasting change.
