New to Grow
Welcome! You've already taken an important step toward caring for yourself. Life can be challenging, and I'm passionate about supporting adults through anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I take a collaborative, strengths-focused approach, combining evidence-based tools and practical coping strategies so you can move forward with more confidence and calm. My sessions are a safe, nonjudgmental space where we develop goals together and track progress.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and to talk about what brings you to therapy. We'll review your background, current concerns, and any immediate needs. It's completely normal to feel nervous, and I'll move at a pace that feels safe and answer any questions you have about confidentiality, session length, or scheduling.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I believe you are the expert on your life. I'm here to listen, validate your experience, and provide practical tools and support to help you reach the goals that matter to you. I draw on CBT and mindfulness-based approaches because I've found they reliably reduce symptoms and empower clients, often increasing confidence, self-esteem, and overall well-being.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with adults who find life's demands of work, school, relationships, caregiving, or major transitions increasingly overwhelming and who are experiencing anxiety or depression as a result. If you've been putting yourself last, we'll focus on restoring safety and balance through practical self-care strategies, emotion regulation skills, and goal-focused therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am integrative in my approach and have found that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a very helpful approach. It helps to identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that can keep one stuck. The techniques and tools can be very helpful and lead to a positive outcome on emotions and behaviors.
