New to Grow
Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes we all need a supportive place to sort through what we're carrying. I provide a warm, down-to-earth approach that combines compassion, humor, and practical tools for change. I work with adults, teens, couples, and families struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, ADHD, life transitions, and substance use concerns. My goal is to help clients feel heard, understood, and empowered as they build healthier relationships, stronger coping skills, and a more fulfilling life.
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine whether we're a good fit. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, what's been weighing on you, and what changes you'd like to see in your life. You don't need to have all the answers or know exactly where to start. My role is to listen, ask questions, and help you feel comfortable as we begin building a path forward together.
I bring warmth, compassion, and authenticity to the therapy process. I believe in meeting clients where they are while helping them identify strengths, build resilience, and develop practical skills for lasting change. My approach balances support with gentle accountability, creating a safe space for growth, healing, and self-discovery.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families who are seeking healing, growth, and meaningful change. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, ADHD, life transitions, or challenges related to self-worth and identity. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and build confidence in themselves and their relationships. I especially enjoy helping people move beyond survival mode and create lives that feel more balanced, connected, and authentic.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck and develop healthier ways of thinking, coping, and responding to life's challenges. I take a gentle but direct approach, helping clients build practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, trauma, and major life transitions. My goal is to help clients gain insight, increase confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore their goals, values, and reasons for change in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Rather than telling clients what they should do, I help them identify what matters most to them and strengthen their confidence in making meaningful changes. This approach is especially helpful for concerns such as substance use, health goals, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
