New to Grow
I"m a LCSW who helps individuals, couples, and families create relationships that feel safe, steady, and connected. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and practical. I believe people don't need perfection - They need clarity, effective tools, and a therapist who shows up with warmth and a grounded presence. I help clients understand what's happening in their nervous system, why certain patterns keep repeating, and how to shift those patterns in ways that feel sustainable. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship conflict, being emotionally overwhelmed, or developmental trauma, I offer a calm , structured space where you can slow down, make sense of your experience, and build new ways of relating to yourself and others. My work integrates solutions grounded in trauma informed practices, attachment theory and systems work. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT) therapy as well as Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress (SPARCS). But more importantly, I tailor therapy to the person in front of me. You won't get jargon or judgement. You will get clear guidance, steady support, and strategies you can use in real life... with your partner, your kids, your coworkers and yourself. Clients often share they appreciate my calm presence and straightforward style. I am not here to talk at you; I am here to walk with you. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience of navigating a blended family, parenting neurodiverse children, and building healthy communication in high stress environments. I understand what it feels like to want change but feel stuck in old cycles. If you are looking for a therapist who is warm, direct, and committed to helping you grow, I would be honored to work with you. Together we will build clarity, connection and spark change - one step at a time.
Your fist session is about getting to know you - not rushing to solutions. We will start by talking through what brings you to therapy, what's been hard lately and what you hope will feel different. I will ask questions to understand your story, your patterns, and how your nervous system responds when stress or emotions show up. You can expect a calm, structured, and collaborative space. There is no pressure to share everything at once; we move at a pace that feels safe but also encourages growth. I will explain how trauma-informed and attachment-based care guides my approach - meaning we pay attention to both your experiences and how those experiences shaped the way you connect with others. By the end of the session, you will have a clearer sense how therapy works, what goals we might set together, and what next steps look like. My goal for any first session is for you to leave feeling seen, understood, and hopeful - with a plan the feels steady and doable.
Clients often describe my presence as steady, genuine, and grounding while also being straightforward in my approach. I bring both both clinical expertise and lived experience to the room - helping people make sense of complex emotions, relational patterns, and nervous system responses without judgement. My approach combines attachment theory and trauma-informed best practices to offer practical tools that help you move from understanding to change. I focus on creating a space where you feel safe enough to explore what's underneath the surface while staying connected and supported. I'm not here to "fix" you, I'm hear to help you build clarity, agency, and connection. Sessions are collaborative and paced to your comfort level, balancing growth with warmth. You'll find that I'm direct when needed, but always compassionate and attuned to your story. What sets my work apart is the combination of clinical precision and human presence, therapy that feels both professional and deeply personal. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling seen, understood, and equipped to navigate life with more steadiness and confidence.
My ideal client is someone who’s ready for a therapy space that feels steady, clear, and genuinely supportive. You don’t have to have everything figured out, you just need a willingness to slow down, look inward, and explore what’s been shaping your patterns, emotions, and relationships. Many of the people I work with are navigating stress, anxiety, relationship strain, dysfunctional family dynamics, or the impact of past experiences that still show up in the present. You might be someone who feels overwhelmed but wants to understand why. Someone who’s tired of repeating the same cycles and wants tools that actually help. Someone who values directness delivered with warmth — a therapist who won’t judge you, won’t rush you, and won’t drown you in jargon. My ideal client is open to learning about their nervous system, curious about how attachment shapes connection, and willing to build new ways of responding instead of reacting. You don’t need to be perfect, polished, or prepared. You just need to be ready for a therapeutic relationship that’s collaborative, honest, and grounded in real change. If you’re looking for a space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported while building clarity and confidence, you’re exactly who I’m here for.
I identify as
Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy helps people heal by strengthening their capacity for safe, connected relationships. We focus on attunement, emotional safety, and repairing patterns shaped by past experiences so people can build trust, regulate more effectively, and feel supported rather than alone in their struggles.
Trauma-Focused CBT
TF-CBT helps people process traumatic experiences safely while building skills for coping, grounding, and reducing distress. I combine structured trauma work with emotional regulation, reframing thoughts, and support from important relationships so people regain a sense of control, safety and confidence.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed care centers on felt safety, choice, and empowerment. It recognizes how past experiences shape current reactions and builds treatment around trust, collaboration, and regulation. Clients are supported with compassion, predictable structure, and practices that reduce shame and strengthen a sense of control.
