LCSW, 3 years of experience
New to Grow
As a mental health provider, I’m dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, challenges, and strengths. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices that promote growth and resilience. I strive to help each person gain insight, build coping skills, and achieve lasting emotional well-being through a personalized and empowering therapeutic process.
In our first appointment, you can expect a warm, welcoming conversation focused on getting to know you—your story, goals, and what brings you to therapy. We’ll explore what’s been working, what hasn’t, and what you hope to gain from our time together. I’ll explain how therapy works, answer any questions you may have, and together we’ll begin creating a plan tailored to your needs. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the path ahead.
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is the balance between compassion, authenticity, and practicality. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method—each session is personalized to your unique experiences, values, and goals. I combine evidence-based techniques with a warm, down-to-earth style that helps clients feel comfortable opening up while also learning concrete tools they can apply in everyday life. My approach focuses on empowerment and understanding—helping you build insight, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change from the inside out.
As someone who has experienced life’s ups and downs firsthand, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to juggle responsibilities, relationships, and self-care while trying to stay grounded. I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to my work as a therapist, creating a space where you can feel understood, not judged. My approach blends clinical knowledge with real-life perspective—I meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you gain clarity, confidence, and balance. Whether you’re navigating stress, transition, or emotional healing, my goal is to help you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.
In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, develop healthier coping strategies, and build practical skills to manage life’s challenges more effectively.
In my practice, I use a compassion-focused approach to help clients cultivate self-kindness, reduce self-criticism, and build emotional resilience by understanding and soothing difficult thoughts and feelings with empathy and care.
In my practice, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients identify, understand, and transform negative emotional patterns in their relationships, fostering deeper connection, trust, and emotional security.
I incorporate psychoeducation in my practice by helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—providing practical information, tools, and insights that empower them to make informed choices and actively participate in their healing process.
