LPC, 14 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s most complex emotional terrain. I specialize in trauma-informed care, helping clients navigate anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and identity shifts with compassion and clarity. I work primarily with adults who are ready to explore their inner world, reconnect with their values, and build healthier patterns in their lives. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and deeply human—empowering clients to feel seen, understood, and capable of meaningful change.
Our first session is all about creating a safe, grounded space where you can begin to share your story at your own pace. We’ll start with an intake assessment to help me understand your background, current concerns, and any relevant history that may shape your experience. This gives us a foundation to build from and ensures your care is personalized and thoughtful. You’ll also have the opportunity to share your goals and what you hope to gain from therapy—whether that’s emotional relief, clarity, healing, or practical tools for daily life. I’ll listen closely, ask gentle questions, and reflect back what I hear to make sure we’re aligned. This session isn’t about fixing anything right away—it’s about connection, understanding, and beginning a collaborative journey toward growth. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of direction and the comfort of knowing you don’t have to navigate it alone.
What sets my work apart is the way I blend clinical expertise with deep emotional attunement. I don’t just listen—I hear you. I create a space where clients feel safe enough to be vulnerable, supported enough to take risks, and empowered enough to grow. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and grounded in compassion. I integrate modalities like CBT and DBT with reflective, relational work to help clients understand their patterns, regulate their emotions, and reconnect with their values. I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, and relational stress, and I bring both professional skill and personal insight to those conversations. Clients often tell me they feel more understood, more capable, and more emotionally regulated after our sessions. That’s because I meet them where they are—with warmth, curiosity, and a belief in their capacity to heal. Therapy with me isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about transformation.
If you’re here, it means something inside you is stirring—maybe a quiet whisper that says, “I’m ready.” Ready to heal, to grow, to understand yourself more deeply. Maybe you’re tired of carrying the weight alone, or you’ve reached a point where surviving isn’t enough—you want to thrive. You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t need to be “fixed.” What you need is a space where you can be real, messy, vulnerable, and still held with compassion. That’s what I offer. I work with people who are courageous enough to face their pain, curious enough to explore their patterns, and committed enough to show up for themselves—even when it’s hard. Whether you’re navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, relationship struggles, or simply trying to reconnect with your sense of self, I’m here to walk beside you. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and deeply human. We’ll work together to clarify your goals, build practical tools, and honor your pace. You’ll learn to trust your voice, set boundaries, and move through life with more clarity and confidence.
In my practice, I use person-centered therapy to create a safe, affirming space where clients feel deeply seen, heard, and valued. I believe that healing begins with connection, and I strive to build a therapeutic relationship rooted in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard.
In my practice, I use CBT to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Many of the individuals I work with feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them—whether it's self-criticism, avoidance, or emotional reactivity. CBT offers a structured, evidence-based path toward change.
