New to Grow
I am a dual-licensed clinical mental health counselor and independent chemical dependency counselor with 10 years of clinical experience, and I am nationally certified by the NBCC. My work is grounded in more than 20 years of service to diverse communities, and I bring a warm, steady, and compassionate presence to every session. My therapeutic style is eclectic, but rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. I specialize in anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and addictions, and I help clients understand the patterns that shape their lives so they can build new ones with intention and confidence. Clients often describe me as direct yet deeply supportive — someone who can challenge them while also creating a space where they feel genuinely seen. I believe growth is a collaborative process, and I am committed to helping you become the strongest, most grounded version of yourself. If you’re ready to move forward with clarity and support, I’m here to walk that path with you.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
“In our first session, clients can expect a warm, conversational space where we explore what’s bringing them in and what they’re hoping for. I create room for clients to share at their own pace while we clarify how we can work together in a way that feels supportive and aligned with their goals.”
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
“One of my greatest strengths is blending a warm, human‑centered approach with practical, solution‑focused methods. I tailor therapy to each individual, ensuring our work isn’t just conversation but a pathway toward real, meaningful progress with steps that fit naturally into your daily life.”
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
“I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and family conflict, with a focus on providing a compassionate, humanistic approach. Whether you’re working to ease anxiety, move through depression, or create more harmony within your family, I partner with you to shape a path that aligns with your unique goals and strengths.”
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
“With eight years of clinical experience, I’ve seen how practical, evidence‑based strategies can help clients shift their perspectives and create meaningful, lasting change.”
Strength-Based
“My approach is rooted in a strength‑based framework. I begin by identifying what clients are already doing well and build from those existing strengths, creating a positive, empowering foundation for meaningful change.”
Humanistic
“I ground my work in a humanistic approach, focusing on the whole person. I listen deeply, meet clients exactly where they are, and honor their unique humanity as we work together toward growth and healing.”
