New to Grow
I am passionate about creating a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples as they navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the impact of past experiences. My goal is to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.
During our first session, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and heard. We will spend time getting to know one another, discussing what brings you to therapy, and exploring your goals, concerns, strengths, and any important background information that may help guide our work together. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I move at a pace that feels respectful and collaborative. By the end of the first session, we will begin identifying what you hope to gain from therapy and how we can work together toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.
I bring warmth, compassion, honesty, and a steady presence to my sessions. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and supported, while also feeling empowered to explore difficult emotions, patterns, and experiences. I am collaborative and strengths-based in my approach, helping clients recognize what is already within them while building new tools for coping, communication, healing, and growth. My clinical experience with children, adolescents, adults, and couples allows me to meet clients where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs, goals, and life experiences.
I am best positioned to serve children, adolescents, adults, and couples who are seeking a supportive space to better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change. Many of the clients I work well with are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, family conflict, identity development, trauma and the impact of past experiences. I especially enjoy working with clients who are open to reflection, honest conversation, and growth, even when the process feels uncomfortable at times. My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate, while also allowing space for gentle challenge.

Other specialties
I identify as
Family Therapy
I use family therapy to help families better understand one another, improve communication, and identify patterns that may be creating stress, conflict, or disconnection. In sessions, we work together to explore each person’s perspective, strengthen relationships, and create healthier ways of responding to challenges.
Narrative
I use narrative therapy to help clients explore the stories they carry about themselves, their relationships, and their life experiences. Sometimes painful experiences, family messages, trauma, stress, or societal expectations can shape the way we see ourselves. In our work together, I help clients identify these stories, understand how they developed, and begin creating new meanings that feel more empowering and aligned with who they truly are.
Feminist
I use feminist therapy to help clients understand how their experiences are shaped not only by personal choices, but also by relationships, family roles, culture, identity, power, and social expectations. This approach allows us to explore how factors such as gender, race, class, sexuality, family systems, and life experiences may influence how clients see themselves, relate to others, and move through the world.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
I use child-parent psychotherapy to support children and their caregivers in strengthening connection, communication, emotional safety, and trust. This approach is especially helpful when a child or family has experienced stress, trauma, attachment concerns, behavioral challenges, transitions, or disruptions in the caregiving relationship. In sessions, I work with the child and caregiver together to better understand the child’s emotions, behaviors, and needs within the context of the family relationship. I help caregivers respond with greater confidence, empathy, and consistency while also creating space for healing, repair, and stronger connection.
Couples Counseling
I use couples therapy to help partners better understand one another, improve communication, rebuild connection, and work through patterns that may be creating distance, conflict, or hurt. In sessions, I support couples in identifying each person’s needs, emotions, and perspectives while helping them practice healthier ways of listening, expressing themselves, and responding to one another so the relationship can move toward greater understanding, connection, and partnership.
