New to Grow
Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and I'm honored to be part of your journey. My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative space where you feel safe, respected, and empowered to be your authentic self. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and personal growth. I also provide affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals, including those exploring gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop effective coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. I believe healing begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, accepted, and supported. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, exploring your identity, or seeking personal growth, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and respect.
Starting therapy can bring a mix of emotions, my goal is to help you feel comfortable from the moment we meet. During our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, review your history, explore your strengths, and identify the goals you'd like to achieve. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, share what's most important to you, and decide if we're a good fit. Together, we'll create a plan that feels supportive, collaborative, and personalized to your needs.
Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely heard and accepted. I balance empathy with honest feedback, helping clients feel supported while also encouraging meaningful growth. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each person's unique experiences, values, and goals. I strive to create an affirming space where every client feels respected, empowered, and comfortable showing up as their authentic self.
I enjoy working with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, overcome life's challenges, and create meaningful change. My ideal clients may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, or difficulty managing emotions. They don't have to have everything figured out, just a willingness to show up, be open to the therapeutic process, and work collaboratively toward their goals. I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Whether you're seeking support during a difficult season, learning healthier coping strategies, healing from past experiences, or simply striving for personal growth, we'll work together to develop an individualized treatment plan that fits your needs, values, and pace. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, empowered, and challenged to make lasting changes.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier ways of coping, and practice practical skills that can be used in everyday life. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, helping you build confidence, improve emotional well-being, and create lasting change.
I provide a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space for transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse individuals to explore their identity and navigate life's challenges. My role is to support you as your authentic self, whether you're exploring your gender, navigating relationships, coping with discrimination, or seeking guidance through social or medical transition. Therapy is centered on your goals, experiences, and strengths.
Grief looks different for everyone, and there is no "right" way to grieve. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can process the loss of a loved one, relationship, life transition, or other significant change at your own pace. Together, we'll explore your emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward finding meaning and healing while honoring your unique experience.
Our relationships play an important role in our emotional well-being. I use Interpersonal Therapy to help clients better understand how their relationships, communication patterns, and life transitions affect their mental health. Together, we'll strengthen communication skills, navigate conflict, build healthier relationships, and improve your ability to connect with others while supporting your overall emotional well-being.
I believe every person has unique strengths, resilience, and the capacity for growth. Rather than focusing only on what's wrong, we'll identify what's already working and build on your existing skills, values, and resources. Together, we'll use your strengths to overcome challenges, increase confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.
