New to Grow
I have 15 years experience providing social-emotional support and therapy in various settings such as a group private practice, non-profit and in the school environment. I am a warm and empathetic provider that believes that you are the expert in you what you need. I offer a supportive space for you to explore and process your thoughts and feelings. I aim to help you give space, understanding and compassion to yourself. Therapy looks different for everyone, and I believe the most important part of the process is creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and accepted. I work primarily with adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, Autism, anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. My style is person-centered and collaborative, and I tailor therapy to what each client needs in the moment — whether that means exploring deeper patterns and emotions or focusing on practical coping tools and solutions. I draw from CBT and DBT approaches while always leading with compassion, curiosity, and authenticity.
During the first session I will focus on getting to know you and your hopes for therapy. Depending on a client’s goals, our work together may be exploratory and insight-oriented or more solution-focused and skills-based. I value creating an environment grounded in empathy, curiosity, authenticity, and compassion, where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered.
I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults and understand the unique challenges that can come with identity development, emotional regulation, relationships, academic stress, burnout, and navigating a world that often feels overwhelming. My goal is to help clients build self-understanding, resilience, and confidence in a way that feels sustainable and individualized. - Person-centered approach → Clients feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment - Neurodiversity-affirming care → ADHD and Autistic clients can explore their experiences in a validating, accepting space - Strong rapport with individuals → Clients often feel more comfortable opening up and engaging in therapy - Flexible and eclectic approach → Therapy is tailored to each client’s individual needs, goals, and personality - Balance of exploratory and solution-focused work → Clients can process deeper emotions while also building concrete coping strategies - Strengths-based perspective → Clients build confidence, self-understanding, and resilience - Compassionate and collaborative style → Clients feel empowered rather than pressured in the therapeutic process - Focus on authenticity and self-acceptance → Clients are encouraged to show up fully as themselves without masking or shame - Supportive space for life transitions and identity development → Clients gain clarity, confidence, and emotional support during periods of change
I work with adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, emotional overwhelm, stress, burnout, self-esteem concerns, identity exploration, relationship challenges, or difficulty navigating major life transitions. Many of my clients feel misunderstood, disconnected, or pressured to meet expectations that do not align with who they are. I especially enjoy supporting neurodivergent individuals as they explore self-understanding, emotional regulation, executive functioning challenges, masking, sensory sensitivities, social dynamics, and self-advocacy. I strive to create a space where clients feel accepted without judgment and supported in showing up authentically. I work with clients who may: - feel stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted - struggle with perfectionism or people-pleasing - experience difficulty with motivation, focus, or executive functioning - have trouble managing emotions or navigating relationships - feel anxious in social, academic, work or family settings - be exploring identity, independence, or life direction - want support building coping skills, confidence, and self-compassion - feel burnt out from constantly trying to “keep up” - want a therapist who understands neurodivergent experiences in a compassionate and affirming way
