New to Grow
I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by relationship stress, divorce, family conflict, anxiety, or major life transitions. Many clients come to therapy when they feel stuck in repeating patterns, struggling in relationships, or facing changes that feel confusing, painful, or difficult to navigate alone. I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and feel understood. Together, we focus on helping you better understand your emotions and the patterns showing up in your relationships. I support clients in managing overwhelming feelings, improving communication, and gaining confidence in making decisions that reflect who they truly are and what they need. I bring life experience to my work, including raising my four children and time spent both at home and in academic settings. Having moved through different roles and transitions helps me connect with clients who are facing change, uncertainty, or redefining themselves later in life.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will focus on understanding what brought you to therapy and what you are hoping to gain support with. I will ask questions about your concerns, your relationships, and your family. The goal is to begin understanding your experiences and to start building trust and rapport together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to connect with people in a genuine and relatable way. I focus on helping clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable sharing their experiences. I help people notice patterns in their emotions, relationships, and life experiences in ways that help things begin to make more sense. My background in literature and my genuine love of stories shape my interest in people’s experiences. It guides how I listen and understand what my clients are going through. I often try to help my clients connect their lives and experiences to the bigger picture, so they can relate, feel less alone, and be more connected. Clients often describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and thoughtful. I like to balance emotional support with reflection, and to help my clients feel truly heard and understood.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I often work with adults navigating divorce, relationship challenges, family stress, and midlife transitions. I help clients make sense of complicated life situations and understand that feelings and experiences are not always easy to define or explain. My goal is to help you feel steadier, clearer, and more supported as you move forward.
