New to Grow
Seeking support can feel vulnerable, and I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and accepted exactly where you are. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing happens through connection, self-awareness, and meaningful change. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, burnout, perfectionism, relationship challenges, and struggles with self-worth and identity. Together, we’ll create a space where you can slow down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself with curiosity rather than judgment. I am passionate about helping clients reconnect with their strengths, build healthier relationships, trust themselves more fully, and move toward the life they desire. For those who wish to incorporate their faith, I also offer Christian counseling that integrates spiritual beliefs into the healing process.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a foundation of trust. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, the challenges you’re facing, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or simply ready for change, we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and hopeful while we begin creating a plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Clients often describe me as warm, nurturing, compassionate, insightful, and easy to talk to. I strive to create a balance between providing a safe, supportive space and gently challenging patterns that may be keeping you stuck. With specialized training in trauma, attachment, and experiential therapies, I help clients move beyond simply understanding their struggles intellectually and begin experiencing meaningful emotional healing and transformation. I believe lasting change happens when people feel both deeply supported and empowered to grow. My goal is to help you feel seen, understood, and equipped with the tools needed to create a more fulfilling and authentic life.
You don’t need to be fixed, you deserve to feel understood. I work with women who often appear to have it all together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, or stuck on the inside. Many of my clients are high-achieving, compassionate women who struggle with anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, burnout, overthinking, people-pleasing, attachment wounds, difficulty setting boundaries, and feeling responsible for everyone else’s needs while quietly neglecting their own. You may find yourself questioning your worth, doubting your decisions, struggling to trust yourself, or repeating patterns in relationships that leave you feeling unseen, unfulfilled, or emotionally drained. You might feel disconnected from who you are, what you need, or the life you want to create. Rather than viewing diagnoses as identities, I see symptoms as meaningful signals—messages from the mind and body that reveal how you’ve adapted to past experiences in order to survive, protect yourself, and make sense of the world. I offer trauma-informed, attachment-based therapy that integrates experiential approaches, nervous system regulation, and elf-compassion. Together, we’ll explore the causes of emotional and relational struggles, develop tools for everyday life, strengthen self-trust, and cultivate emotional resilience. My goal is not only symptom relief but lasting transformation. I am passionate about helping women heal from past wounds, strengthen their sense of self, build healthier relationships, and reconnect with who they were created to be. For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling from a Christian perspective. Therapy can be a space where you feel safe, seen, supported, and gently challenged to grow. I believe every person has the capacity to heal, and that individual healing can create positive change within families, relationships, and communities. If you’re looking for therapy that is compassionate, collaborative, and growth-oriented, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
Other specialties
I identify as
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
I help clients slow down and connect with their emotions in a safe and supportive way. Together, we explore difficult experiences, heal emotional wounds, and build on strengths that may have been hidden by pain, anxiety, or trauma. My goal is to help clients experience lasting emotional change, greater self-compassion, and deeper connection with themselves and others.
Attachment-based
Many of our relationship patterns are shaped by our early experiences with caregivers and important relationships. I help clients understand how those experiences influence their current relationships, self-worth, boundaries, and emotional responses. Together, we work to create healthier relationships and a stronger sense of security and confidence
Christian Counseling
For clients who desire it, I integrate biblical principles, prayer, and faith-based perspectives into the counseling process. I help clients explore how their relationship with God can support healing, growth, identity, and emotional well-being while respecting each person’s individual beliefs and spiritual journey.
Trauma Informed Care
I help clients understand how past experiences may be affecting their emotions, relationships, body, and daily life. Many people struggle with self-criticism, shame, or feeling like they are never enough. I help clients develop self-compassion and learn how to respond to themselves with the same kindness and understanding they would offer a loved one. This approach can help reduce shame, increase emotional resilience, and support lasting healing and growth.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
We all have different parts of ourselves that can show up in different situations—such as the part that worries, the part that people-pleases, the part that gets angry, or the part that wants to avoid pain. I help clients understand these different parts with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment. Together, we explore the needs and experiences behind these parts so clients can experience greater healing, self-understanding, and inner balance.
