New to Grow
Many people come to therapy at a moment when they realize something in their life can’t continue the way it has been. You may feel stuck in painful patterns, overwhelmed by stress or uncertainty, or aware that something deeper needs attention. I offer a thoughtful, grounded space where we can slow down and explore what is happening beneath the surface so that meaningful change becomes possible. My work integrates mindfulness, somatic awareness, Internal Family Systems, and depth-oriented psychology to help clients understand themselves more clearly and move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what has brought you to therapy. I will ask questions about your current challenges, your history, and what you hope might be different in your life. We will also talk about how therapy works and what kind of approach might best support you. Many clients find the first session helpful simply because it creates a space to slow down and speak openly about things that may have been difficult to articulate before.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach combines practical tools with deeper exploratory work so that therapy supports both immediate coping and long-term transformation. I draw from mindfulness, somatic awareness, Internal Family Systems, and Jungian depth psychology to help clients understand the patterns, emotions, and inner dynamics shaping their lives. Rather than trying to “fix” you, the work focuses on helping you develop greater awareness, compassion, and choice in how you relate to yourself and others. Over time, this often leads to greater clarity, emotional resilience, and the ability to move forward in life with more confidence and authenticity.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with thoughtful, self-reflective adults who are ready to engage in meaningful personal work. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety and depression, or a sense that old coping patterns are no longer working. Others come to therapy because they feel stuck, disconnected from themselves, or unsure about the direction of their life or career. If you are someone who wants to understand yourself more deeply and is willing to explore both the practical and deeper layers of your experience, this work can be especially powerful.
Somatic
Through somatic work, you will learn to tune into your body’s signals so you can regulate stress, process emotions, and feel more grounded.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Through mindfulness practices, you will learn to slow down, gain clarity about your thoughts and feelings, and respond to stress with greater steadiness and self-compassion.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Using an Internal Family Systems approach, you will learn to understand the different parts of yourself—such as inner critics or protective patterns—so you can relate to yourself with more compassion and internal balance.
Jungian
Drawing from Jungian psychology, you will explore deeper patterns and inner themes in your life so you can gain insight, break old cycles, and move toward a more authentic way of living.
