New to Grow
I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, high-functioning depression, trauma, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and first-generation individuals who are balancing multiple cultural, family, and societal expectations while trying to build lives that feel authentic and fulfilling. I believe meaningful change comes from both insight and action. Therapy can help you better understand your experiences, heal from past wounds, strengthen your relationships, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values and goals.
During our first session, we'll discuss important aspects of your personal, family, medical, and social background. We'll explore what brings you to therapy, identify your goals for treatment, and, if applicable, reflect on your past experiences with therapy. We'll also review logistics such as scheduling, confidentiality, and what future sessions may look like. My goal is to provide a welcoming, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace.
My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I will integrate CBT and other evidence-based strategies to explore the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that shape how you relate to yourself and others. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, develop practical tools to manage challenges, and cultivate greater self-understanding.
You may be the person everyone depends on—the one who gets things done, takes care of others, and appears to have it all together. Yet beneath the surface, you may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship challenges, unresolved trauma, or questions about who you are and where you're headed. It can be exhausting to carry so much while feeling disconnected from yourself.
