LMFT, 5 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello, I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. I work with clients who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or the weight of past experiences, and I provide a supportive space where they can feel seen, understood, and empowered. My goal is to help clients build healthier relationships with themselves and others, discover their strengths, and create lasting change that leads to greater peace, connection, and fulfillment in their lives.
In our first session you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where we’ll get to know each other. I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and any concerns you may have. Together, we’ll begin exploring your story at your own pace, and I’ll answer any questions you have about the therapy process. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and reassured that you don’t have to face things alone, we’ll walk this journey together.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly seen and heard. I draw from Person-Centered therapy as the foundation of my work, while also integrating approaches like CBT, Narrative, Solution-Focused, and Emotionally Focused Therapy to fit each client’s unique needs. Clients often tell me that my authenticity, empathy, and practical tools help them feel both supported and empowered to make lasting changes in their lives.
I’m best positioned to serve clients who are ready to heal, grow, and create meaningful change in their lives. Many of the people I work with feel weighed down by anxiety, past wounds, or relationship struggles, yet they share a desire for deeper connection, self-understanding, and peace. My clients often come to me feeling stuck or uncertain, but they are also open, reflective, and hopeful wanting to show up for themselves and build a life that feels more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.
While I may draw from other modalities such as CBT or systemic approaches, Person-Centered therapy is the foundation of my work. I view myself not as an expert who fixes, but as a companion who trusts in each client’s capacity for growth and healing. By fostering a safe, authentic, and nonjudgmental relationship, I create space for clients to freely explore their feelings, thoughts, and identities without fear of rejection or criticism.
My experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has shown me how increasing awareness of thought patterns can help clients transform the way they feel and behave. In my practice, I use CBT to help clients challenge unhelpful beliefs, reframe their perspectives, and develop healthier coping skills. By integrating these tools, I empower clients to create lasting change in their daily lives.
My experience with Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) has shown me how powerful it is to help clients identify strengths and focus on solutions rather than problems. In my practice, I use SFBT to highlight clients’ resources, amplify their successes, and set small, achievable goals. This approach empowers clients to build confidence and create meaningful change in a shorter timeframe.
My experience with Narrative Therapy has shown me the importance of helping clients separate themselves from their problems and re-author their stories in empowering ways. In my practice, I use this approach to explore dominant narratives, highlight overlooked strengths, and create space for new possibilities. This allows clients to see themselves as capable of change rather than defined by their struggles.
My experience with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) has shown me how transformative it is to help clients identify and express underlying emotions that shape their relationships. In my practice, I use EFT to create safety, deepen emotional awareness, and restructure negative interactional patterns. This approach allows clients to build stronger bonds, heal attachment wounds, and foster more secure connections.
