New to Grow
Life is overwhelming, especially in the current days. I believe no one's suffering should win and if you are reading this, you deserve empathy and love. As a fellow traveler in life, I am here to create a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to carry any burden alone. If you feel dragged down by the weight of life, I will help you build the strength and capacity to cope. I seek to help you feel understood and know that you are not alone. I believe the ultimate goal of therapy is to become your own therapist, and I am here to support you through that journey. As a counseling and sport psychologist, I specialize in relationships, grief and loss, performance concerns, depression, stress, trauma, and life transitions. I will meet you with humor, compassion, and respect.
During our first session, our main goal is to get to know each other and collaborate on setting your goals for therapy. The majority of people I have worked with in the past 8 years were in therapy for the first time. It can be scary to start something new and vulnerable, but I will meet you where you are.
I believe in the power of curiosity and authenticity. I'm always curious about your feelings, experiences, what it is like to be you, and how to support and empower you. I am unapologetically human and will answer your questions honestly. I strive to form real human connections with you, so you can be move closer and closer to your ideal and authentic self.
I have the most experience working with the young adult population. If you are a high achiever but struggles with low self esteem, I am the therapist for you. I'm a licensed counseling and sport psychologist specializing in relationships, grief and loss, performance concerns, depression, stress, trauma, and life transitions. Whether you are a student feeling lost, a young professional who is stressed out, an adult barely adulting, or an athlete at any level, I am here to assist you to achieve your goals. Together, we can create space for healing, growth, and lasting change.
Integrative
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy and I try to integrate different approaches. I take time to understand your unique story and tailor my methods to your needs. Whether you're striving to heal, grow, or perform at your best, I am here to provide you with a customized therapy approach that is the best fit for you.
Relational
My approach is rooted in building an effective therapeutic relationship with you. We will learn about each other and collaborate on ways to best work together. I strive to help you transfer the social skills you learned in therapy to your daily life.
Multicultural
When working through your struggles, I take socio-cultural influences into account, e.g., family expectations, identity, and broader social contexts. I will guide you to balance advocating for yourself, resisting the systematic oppression, and adapting to achieve your goals.
