New to Grow
I’m a licensed therapist focused on helping women work through anxiety, overthinking, and people-pleasing. I take a direct but supportive approach, creating a space where you can be fully yourself while we explore the deeper patterns behind what’s keeping you stuck. From there, we focus on building insight and practical tools so you can feel more confident and in control of your life and relationships.
In our first session, we’ll start by talking through what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’d like to get out of it. I’ll ask some questions to better understand your background, current challenges, and any patterns you’ve been noticing. There’s no pressure to share everything right away—we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. By the end of the session, you can expect to have a clearer sense of how I work and what our time together might look like moving forward. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and more at ease about the process.
What stands out about my approach is the balance between genuine care and depth of work. I don’t believe in surface-level therapy; real change comes from understanding the underlying patterns, core beliefs, and experiences that are shaping how you think, feel, and relate to others. Clients often share that they feel truly supported, understood, and able to let their guard down in our work together. I take a consistent, nonjudgmental approach that allows for honest conversations and deeper self-exploration, while also helping clients build practical tools they can use in their daily lives. As a woman of color, I also bring a culturally aware and nuanced perspective to my work, recognizing how personal experiences, identity, and environment can shape emotional well-being and relationships. With over 10 years of experience in the field, I bring both clinical knowledge and real-world understanding to my practice. Much of my work has grown through word of mouth, reflecting the value I place on building strong, trusting relationships and providing care that clients genuinely connect with.
I am best positioned to support women who are struggling with anxiety, overthinking, and people-pleasing patterns. Many of my clients feel emotionally overwhelmed, find themselves putting others’ needs before their own, and have difficulty setting boundaries in relationships. They may feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt, stress, or unhealthy relationship dynamics, and are looking for a space where they can better understand themselves and make meaningful changes. I work well with clients who are open to self-reflection and want to feel more confident, balanced, and in control of their emotions. Together, we focus on building healthier thought patterns, improving emotional awareness, and developing practical tools to navigate daily life and relationships more effectively
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and people-pleasing patterns, and CBT helps us identify the thought patterns that keep them stuck. Together, we work on challenging unhelpful thinking, building healthier perspectives, and developing practical tools to manage anxiety and improve relationships. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping clients feel more in control of their thoughts and emotions in everyday life.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I take a person-centered approach, which means I prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can be fully themselves. I believe that real change happens when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My style is warm, consistent, and grounded in unconditional positive regard, which helps clients lower their defenses and open up at their own pace. I work collaboratively with clients, meeting them where they are while supporting them in building insight, confidence, and meaningful change in their lives.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to support clients who have experienced past trauma and are struggling with its ongoing effects, such as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty in relationships. This approach helps us gently process past experiences while also building practical coping skills to manage present-day challenges. I work at a pace that feels safe and supportive, helping clients understand how trauma may be impacting them while also strengthening their sense of control, stability, and emotional resilience.
