LPC, 12 years of experience
New to Grow
I’m a kind, supportive therapist who believes in each person’s strength and capacity for healing. In my work, I use approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and HeartMath to help clients reconnect with their inner resilience and sense of peace. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you feel valued, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.
In your first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you and understanding your goals for therapy. This is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share what brings you here and what you hope to achieve. I’ll ask questions about your background, current challenges, and any past experiences with therapy, while also listening carefully to your story and concerns. Together, we’ll explore your strengths and resources, identify areas you’d like to focus on, and discuss how we can work together most effectively. I will explain my approach, what therapy with me looks like, and answer any questions you have about the process. By the end of the session, you should have a clear sense of how we’ll move forward and what support you can expect along the way. The first session is also your opportunity to see if this feels like a good fit for you. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I want you to feel comfortable, heard, and supported from the very beginning. It’s okay to come with curiosity, questions, or even uncertainty—the first session is simply the starting point for your journey toward growth, healing, and positive change
My greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel truly heard and supported. I am attentive, empathetic, and skilled at helping clients identify their unique strengths, values, and goals. What stands out about my therapeutic approach is that it is collaborative, tailored, and strength-based—focusing not just on challenges, but on solutions and growth. I integrate evidence-based methods such as CBT, mindfulness techniques including HeartMath, grief recovery, and couples counseling, adapting each to fit the client’s needs and mindset. Clients often notice tangible results, such as improved emotional awareness, healthier coping strategies, strengthened relationships, and greater resilience. I prioritize empowering clients to take practical steps toward meaningful change while honoring their pace and personal journey. Ultimately, my approach blends compassion with practical strategies, helping clients gain clarity, confidence, and the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges and achieve lasting positive change.
I work with clients who are ready to explore personal growth, navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. Life can be overwhelming at times—whether you are struggling with anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions—and it can be difficult to know where to turn. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and supported. I believe that every client brings unique strengths, and my approach is collaborative and strength-based. Together, we explore your values, identify your goals, and develop practical tools to manage emotions, cope with stress, and build resilience. I help clients gain clarity, improve self-awareness, and make choices that align with the life they want to live. For couples and families, I support building deeper connection, improving communication, and resolving conflict with empathy and understanding. For those experiencing grief or loss, I offer gentle guidance to process emotions, honor your experiences, and find hope and meaning in the midst of change. Ultimately, my work is about empowering you to discover your own solutions, navigate challenges with confidence, and create positive, lasting change. I am here to guide, support, and walk alongside you as you take steps toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to gently help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. Together, we work on finding more balanced ways of thinking and coping with challenges. I focus on creating a warm, supportive space where clients can practice new skills and build confidence in daily life.
In couples counseling, I create a safe and supportive space where both partners feel heard and understood. I help couples improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection. Together, we focus on understanding each other’s needs and developing healthier ways to resolve conflict so you can grow as a team
In grief counseling, I use the Grief Recovery Method to help clients process their loss in a compassionate and structured way. I provide a safe space to share emotions, explore unfinished feelings, and find healing through guided steps. Together, we work toward emotional completion and rediscovering a sense of peace and hope
I use mindfulness and HeartMath techniques to help clients manage stress and build emotional balance. Through heart-focused breathing, clients learn to calm their nervous system and increase awareness. I guide them in using these tools daily to improve focus, resilience, and well-being.
