New to Grow
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), and EMDR-trained therapist. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Child and Adolescent Counseling. But more than credentials, what I bring into the room is presence. I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, identity development, substance use concerns, and life transitions. I work with individuals ages 10 and up, and my approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply relational. I use evidence-based approaches, including EMDR and trauma-informed practices, but therapy with me never feels clinical or cold. It feels like conversation, exploration, and sometimes gentle challenge.
In our first session, we’ll explore what brought you in, what’s been feeling heavy, and what you’re hoping might shift. There’s no expectation to share everything all at once. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe and right for you.
What stands out about my approach is its flexibility, depth, and responsiveness to the individual in front of me. I use an eclectic, trauma-informed framework that integrates modalities like CBT, DBT, and mindful, holistic practices, allowing therapy to adapt rather than forcing clients into a rigid model. Clients often experience therapy with me as collaborative, affirming, and holistic focused not just on symptom relief, but on meaningful, sustainable change that aligns with who they truly are.
I’m best positioned to support individuals who feel different, overwhelmed, or like traditional approaches haven’t quite fit especially those who are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or navigating complex identities. I work well with clients who are open to exploring themselves in a holistic way and are willing to experiment with new perspectives, tools, and ways of being, even if they’re unsure where to start. Many of the people I support are seeking deeper understanding, nervous system regulation, and sustainable change that actually aligns with who they are not who they’ve been told to be.
Eclectic
I take an eclectic approach to therapy, integrating techniques from modalities like CBT, DBT, EMDR, and somatic practices to meet each client’s unique needs. My work is collaborative, flexible, and grounded in creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered. I focus on helping individuals build insight, develop practical coping tools, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.
