LMHC, 10 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping clients understand themselves, heal, and grow. I create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and develop practical tools for lasting change. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are, offer steady guidance, and walk alongside you at a pace that feels right for your healing journey.
In our first session, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and understood. We’ll take time to talk about what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping to change, and what feels most important to you right now. I’ll ask gentle questions to get to know your story, but there’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. Together, we’ll start building a plan that feels realistic and empowering for you.
My greatest strengths lie in creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. I bring a calm, grounded presence to sessions, helping clients explore difficult emotions without fear of judgment. I’m skilled at breaking down overwhelming problems into manageable steps, making growth feel accessible and realistic. Clients often tell me they appreciate my balance of compassion and practical guidance.
My ideal clients are individuals who are ready to explore their emotions, challenge old patterns, and invest in their personal growth. Many come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of their next steps, but they’re open to learning new skills and seeing themselves with more compassion. I work best with clients who want a collaborative, supportive environment where they can be honest, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.
In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify the patterns of thinking that shape their emotional and behavioral responses. Through this method, I guide clients in recognizing automatic thoughts, examining the evidence behind them, and developing more balanced and helpful ways of thinking. I also incorporate practical skills and structured exercises that clients can use between sessions, allowing them to build confidence and see progress in real-time. Over the course of treatment, this approach empowers clients to understand themselves more deeply, respond to challenges with greater clarity, and create lasting change in their daily lives.
