New to Grow
I care about how you feel. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, clarity, and collaboration. I help you to explore your stories (emotional, relational, and spiritual) with curiosity and care. The therapeutic relationship is the basis for insight and change. This collaboration provides a safe place to navigate challenging life stressors. My approach incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, CBT, Strength-Based, and Solution-Focused methods to best meet your needs. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, job stress, self-esteem concerns, and other issues. My focus is on helping you build coping skills to manage difficulties and make positive changes. My goal is for you to feel supported, gain new understanding, and make strides toward the life you want.
During our first session, my priority is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns at your own pace. You are welcome to share as much as you feel comfortable sharing.
I believe no one should have to carry their pain alone. I want to offer the kind of presence that so many need—reliable, compassionate, and supportive. My strengths lie in creating emotionally safe spaces. I show up with calm steadiness, a deep respect for people’s stories, and a genuine commitment to helping people feel seen and safe.
I specialize in supporting adults who are trying to hold a lot at once—people who are overwhelmed by work-life balance, navigating the anxiety that comes with major life or career transitions, or feeling the strain of conflict in their marriage or long-term relationships. My work focuses on helping them slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build the emotional tools they need to move forward with clarity and confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a type of therapy that helps you notice the patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We look at the thoughts that show up automatically, explore whether they’re fully accurate or helpful, and practice new ways of thinking and responding. It’s very collaborative and practical. We work together on skills you can use in real life to feel more grounded, confident, and in control.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
You get to decide what feels important to talk about. I won’t steer you or give you a list of things you should work on. Instead, I follow your lead and help you slow down, reflect, and connect with what’s happening inside you. I focus on being real with you, listening deeply, and understanding your experience without judgment. When you feel accepted and safe, it becomes easier to explore things that might feel confusing, painful, or hard to say out loud.
