New to Grow
I’m a licensed therapist who supports individuals healing from trauma and navigating anxiety, depression, financial stress, relationship challenges, and the impact of toxic or high-stress work environments. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and grounded in family systems and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I help clients build self-understanding, emotional resilience, and self-compassion in a warm, affirming space where all parts of you are welcome—especially the ones shaped by stress, responsibility, or past experiences that deserve care and understanding.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll focus on understanding your goals and the challenges you’re facing in a safe, supportive space. You’ll have the opportunity to share your story at your own pace, and we’ll begin identifying your strengths and patterns to create a collaborative plan for growth and healing. My goal is to help you feel empowered, heard, and supported from the very first session.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I help clients uncover and build on their inner strengths while navigating trauma, anxiety, and life stressors. Using a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach grounded in family systems and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I create a warm, affirming space where clients feel heard and supported. My work empowers clients to build self-compassion, resilience, and meaningful change in their relationships, work, and personal lives.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, financial stress, family challenges, and the impact of high-pressure or toxic work environments. My clients are ready to build self-awareness, self-compassion, and emotional resilience while creating healthier boundaries and lasting change. I provide a warm, supportive space where all parts of you are welcome as we work toward a calmer, more empowered life.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I help clients develop deeper self-understanding, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with their inner strengths—without shame or judgment. I offer a warm, affirming space where all parts of you are welcome, especially the parts shaped by stress, responsibility, or past experiences that still deserve care and compassion.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a practical, evidence-based approach to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Through CBT, I support clients in identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, reducing anxiety and stress, and developing healthier coping strategies they can use in everyday life. I integrate CBT within a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework, ensuring that tools and skills are introduced with compassion and respect for each client’s experiences, pace, and goals.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients identify what’s already working in their lives and build practical steps toward meaningful change. This approach is strengths-based and goal-oriented, focusing on clients’ existing resources, resilience, and preferred future rather than dwelling on problems. I integrate Solution-Focused work within a trauma-informed framework, helping clients create clarity, confidence, and forward movement while honoring their pace and lived experiences.
