New to Grow
I am Licensed Professional Counselor with over 16 years of professional work experience. I congratulate you on starting your journey and I’m here to make sure that it is meaningful to you. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.
All initial sessions are held virtually and centered around one thing YOU. It's a space designed for you to feel comfortable, open, and free to show up exactly as you are. We'll begin by diving into your story the moments and experiences that have made you who you are, the obstacles you're facing today, and the resilience you've already demonstrated. Through a gentle, conversational intake, I'll gain a deeper understanding of what's brought you here, what you've been carrying, and the kind of support that will make the most difference for you. Feeling nervous beforehand is completely natural and you're not alone in that. My approach is warm, unhurried, and judgment-free, so we can ease in at whatever pace feels right for you, always keeping your goals at the heart of our work together.
My strength is partnering with individuals in my specialty areas to help them take control of their lives and behaviors through the use of techniques that with improve their qualities of lifelong term.

Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward.
