New to Grow
The therapy I use is person-centered, and I also use some skills from DBT and CBT. While working together, we will explore how our relationships, both current and past, help us understand what is happening now. Our past shapes some core beliefs about ourselves. Through therapy, we can challenge these negative thoughts and work toward a greater, more fulfilling life.
We’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your objectives, and which strategies have or have not been effective for you. We’ll also review ways to validate your emotions and identify supportive people. By the end of the session, we’ll create a treatment plan, which may include journaling or small homework assignments, to help you maintain progress between sessions.
My approach is unique because I integrate a variety of skills to help you connect with your emotions and process intense feelings, past traumas, or current stressors. These may include isolation, low self-worth, depression, or anxiety. I support you in addressing these challenges by drawing on your personal strengths, ensuring our work together supports your ongoing healing.
Those ready or interested in making a change. Whether managing stress from medical concerns, struggling with self-doubt, or wanting to improve communication skills, I provide a grounded space to turn motivation into action. The most important thing to remember, though, is that you don't need all the answers—you just need to be interested in exploring what helps you make sense of the world.

Humanistic
By using a humanistic approach, which means I see you as a whole person—not just a list of symptoms or challenges. Together, we’ll identify and challenge the negative beliefs you carry about yourself, working to reshape your self-image into one that is more compassionate, accurate, and empowering.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a practical, skills-based approach to managing challenges. In our sessions, we’ll apply tools such as DEAR MAN and GIVE to strengthen communication and relationships, and Coping Ahead to prepare for stressful situations. These are concrete strategies to help you regulate emotions and approach daily interactions with greater confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a therapy style in which we look at challenging negative thoughts and explore the causes behind them. Do you tend to catastrophize problems, but you're not sure why? CBT will allow us to look at your negative thoughts and learn new ways of challenging them and, with continued practice, look at reducing how many times these thoughts will arise.
