New to Grow
When everything feels like it’s piling up, having a space that feels steady and supportive can be a relief. I show up with warmth, calm energy, and genuine curiosity. Clients often describe me as someone who listens closely, helps them feel understood, and brings clarity without judgment. I’m practical and down-to-earth, but gentle in how I guide the work. I value honesty, balance, and helping people reconnect with who they are beneath the stress. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, seen, and able to move at a pace that feels right for you.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is a chance to exhale and show up exactly as you are. You don’t have to come in with the right words or have everything sorted out. You’re welcome to arrive exactly where you are emotionally and mentally. We’ll talk through what’s been weighing on you and what you’d like to feel or experience instead. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of direction and a few grounded tools you can start using right away. My intention is for you to leave feeling understood, supported, and encouraged about what comes next.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I bring a calm, steady presence to therapy and work hard to create a space where it feels safe to be honest about what you're experiencing. My strengths include listening with intention, noticing what’s underneath the surface, and helping clients make sense of their thoughts and emotions. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, mindfulness strategies, and strengths-focused work, applying them in a way that feels useful and grounded in your real life. I frequently work with clients navigating anxiety, burnout, life changes, and emotional overwhelm. I’m skilled at helping people slow down, untangle what feels confusing or heavy, and move toward a clearer, more manageable next step.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are the ones who are used to carrying a lot, often quietly, and are beginning to feel the impact of it. You might be balancing work, family, and relationships while feeling drained, anxious, or unsure about what comes next. You may be in a season of transition, adjusting boundaries, or simply wanting to feel more steady and connected to yourself. I work best with clients who are ready to slow down, reflect, and engage in the kind of inner work that creates real and lasting change. You do not need to arrive with everything figured out. You just need a willingness to show up for yourself. Together, we will create space to sort through the overwhelm, tap into your strengths, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, intentional, and aligned with who you want to be.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT to help clients better understand and manage their emotions, build healthier relationships, and cope with stress in more effective ways. Together, we focus on practical skills like staying present, setting boundaries, and finding balance between accepting where you are and making positive changes. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can feel grounded, learn new tools, and grow at your own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients notice how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we work on recognizing unhelpful patterns and learning new ways to think and respond that support your goals. This approach focuses on building awareness, practicing coping skills, and creating lasting changes that help you feel more in control of your life.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness-based approaches to help clients slow down, stay present, and build awareness of their thoughts and emotions without judgment. Together, we practice simple techniques like breathing, grounding, or guided reflection to manage stress, improve focus, and create a deeper sense of calm and balance in daily life.
Strength-Based
I take a strengths-based approach by helping clients recognize and build on the qualities and resources they already have. Instead of focusing only on problems, we work together to highlight what’s working well and use those strengths to navigate challenges, build confidence, and create lasting change.
