New to Grow
Providing a space to just be YOU while you explore different aspects of your life and your mental health while learning to navigate your emotions more effectively. Before any title, I'm a human being who values authenticity, compassion, and connection. I bring both my humanity and my clinical expertise into every therapeutic relationship. I believe that real change happens when we can be honest with ourselves and with each other.
My goal is to create a space where you feel supported enough to be honest, challenged enough to grow, and safe enough to explore what's going on beneath the surface. I bring a direct, down-to-earth style to the work, balanced with empathy and a deep respect for your experience.
I approach therapy collaboratively, working with you to create a path and plan that best fits your needs. Whether you're stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, struggling in relationships, or trying to reconnect with who you are, I bring empathy and honest reflection into the room as we work together toward meaningful, lasting change.
I work with adults facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues. My approach is collaborative and supportive, with an emphasis on helping clients better understand themselves and the patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Together, we focus on building practical coping tools, strengthening resilience, and creating meaningful, sustainable change that aligns with each client’s values and goals.
I help clients understand how their thoughts affect their emotions and actions. We work together to identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck, develop healthier ways of thinking, and practice new behaviors that improve mood, relationships, and overall well-being.
I use DBT to help clients develop tools to navigate difficult emotions, stressful situations, and relationship challenges. In therapy, we focus on increasing self-awareness, strengthening coping skills, and learning ways to respond to life's ups and downs with greater flexibility and resilience.
I use a psychodynamic approach to help clients explore how past experiences, relationships, and life patterns may be influencing their current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and the underlying factors that contribute to their struggles, clients can develop greater insight, heal old wounds, and make more intentional choices in their lives and relationships.
Trauma-informed care means I approach therapy with an understanding that difficult life experiences can shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world. I prioritize creating a safe and compassionate space where clients can explore their experiences, build coping skills, and work toward healing without feeling judged or pressured.
I use a solution-focused approach to help clients identify their strengths, build on what is already working, and develop practical steps toward their goals. Rather than focusing solely on problems, we work together to create meaningful solutions and recognize the resources and abilities clients already possess to make positive changes.
