New to Grow
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. In my practice, I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel completely safe, seen, and understood. Rooted in a Person-Centered philosophy, I believe you are the ultimate expert on your own life. Together, we work as equal partners—shifting the focus from 'what is wrong with you' to honoring how you’ve survived what you've been through. By blending this deep empathy with practical, humanistic DBT skills, we won't just talk about change; we will actively collaborate to build the real-world tools—like mindfulness and emotion regulation—that help you reclaim your power and create a life that feels truly worth living.
Think of our first session as a collaborative consultation. My main priority is making sure you feel safe, respected, and completely in control of the pace. We won't jump into the heavy stuff right away. Instead, we’ll talk about what you're experiencing, discuss your goals, and start exploring how my approach can best support you. You’re the expert on your life—I’m just here to partner with you on the journey."
I bring a genuine, down-to-earth presence and a radical lack of judgment to the therapeutic space. My strengths are rooted in partnership; I excel at creating an equal environment where you feel safe enough to explore your deepest truths at a pace that respects your nervous system. But I also care about your growth too much to leave you stuck; I will thoughtfully challenge the patterns, beliefs, or behaviors that no longer serve you. By combining the unconditional support of person-centered care with the structured coping mechanisms of DBT, I offer a unique blend of emotional safety and actionable guidance to help you build a life that feels authentic and rewarding.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) within a humanistic, client-centered framework. I work collaboratively with you to explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another, while emphasizing empathy, authenticity, and respect for each person's unique experience. Together, we will identify unhelpful patterns, build practical coping skills, and foster greater self-awareness and self-compassion to support meaningful change and personal growth.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) through a deeply humanistic lens. I believe you are doing the absolute best you can with the tools you have, while simultaneously holding space for your desire to grow and change. Rather than treating skills like a rigid classroom lecture, we work as a team to organically weave mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance into our sessions. Together, we honor your past survival strategies while building practical, real-world tools to help you create a life that feels truly worth living.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
At the core of my practice is a Person-Centered approach. I believe that you are the ultimate expert on your own life, and my role is to provide a safe, compassionate, and entirely judgment-free space where you can explore your truth. Through unconditional positive regard and deep empathy, we work as equal partners. Rather than diagnosing or 'fixing' you, I collaborate with you to uncover your innate strengths, process your experiences at your own pace, and empower you to live a life aligned with who you truly are.
Trauma Informed Care
I provide a trauma-informed space designed to offer absolute safety, transparency, and collaboration. Recognizing the profound impact that life's overwhelming events can have on the mind and body, I meet you exactly where you are without judgment. In our sessions, you are always the author of your own story. We partner together to honor your resilience, process your experiences gently, and build practical tools that restore a sense of safety, autonomy, and trust in yourself.
