LPC, 10 years of experience
New to Grow
I’m a mindfulness-based, holistic therapist who believes in focusing on your strengths and positives while supporting your healing journey. In our work together, I’ll help you build awareness, find balance, and connect with your resilience. I'll work to empower you in everything that you do. My goal is to empower you to feel more grounded, hopeful, and confident as you grow into the best version of yourself.
In our first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming space where we’ll focus on getting to know you—your story, strengths, and what brought you to therapy. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable, beginning with gentle mindfulness practices like grounding or breathing exercises to help you feel centered. Together, we’ll explore your goals and start creating a plan that supports healing, balance, and growth. My priority is that you leave the session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about your path forward.
I take a mindfulness-based, holistic, and strength-focused approach to therapy. I help clients build self-awareness, reduce stress, and find balance by addressing the mind, body, and spirit together. Rather than focusing only on problems, I highlight each person’s strengths and resilience, empowering them to create meaningful change and lasting healing.
I’m best positioned to support children, teens, and adults who are navigating stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, or feeling stuck and overwhelmed. I especially enjoy working with clients who are open to mindfulness, want to deepen their self-awareness, and are ready to build on their strengths. Whether your goal is to find balance, heal from past experiences, or grow into the best version of yourself, I provide a safe, supportive space to guide your journey.

Our approach assists clients in identifying negative or distorted thought patterns and maladaptive behaviors that contribute to their distress. We engage in the challenge and exploration of negative thoughts, striving to replace them with balanced, objective, and positive perspectives. We collaborate with clients to identify and analyze unhealthy behavioral patterns, subsequently developing more constructive behaviors and effective coping strategies to address their challenges. Our goal is to teach and empower clients with skills that foster the independent management of healthier thoughts, emotions, and behaviors throughout their lives.

We strive to provide effective strategies for managing stress and pain while mitigating automatic negative thoughts. Furthermore, we highlight the interconnectedness of the mind, body, soul, and spirit. We promote value-based actions that align with personal values, even in the face of challenging emotions and circumstances.
