New to Grow
Life can feel incredibly heavy when anxiety or depression takes hold, but you don’t have to carry that burden alone. For the past three years I have been a therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate these challenges by fostering a space rooted in deep compassion and empathy. I understand that reaching out is a courageous first step, and I prioritize building a therapeutic alliance where you feel truly seen and heard without judgment. In our work together, I combine this supportive environment with evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and shift the thought patterns keeping you stuck. My approach is collaborative; we will work at your pace to develop practical strategies for managing stress and reclaiming hope. Whether you're struggling with persistent worry or a loss of motivation, my goal is to empower you to build resilience and create a life that feels meaningful and grounded again.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will focus on building a comfortable connection as we discuss what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. We will begin by briefly reviewing your intake paperwork and confidentiality to ensure you feel secure and informed about your privacy before we dive into the specific goals that will guide our journey together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One tool I utilize in therapy is pairing genuine curiosity with a deep sense of empathy, creating a safe environment where you feel truly understood rather than just "diagnosed." By remaining inquisitive about your unique story, I work to uncover the root causes of your struggles and collaboratively tailor compassionate interventions that resonate with your personal path to healing.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best positioned to serve adults and individuals who feel stuck in cycles of overwhelming worry or persistent depression and are ready to take a collaborative, active role in their healing. My ideal clients are often those seeking a blend of deep empathy and practical, evidence-based tools to help them navigate life transitions, quiet self-doubt, and reclaim a sense of control over their emotional well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I excel at implementing CBT because I blend a structured, goal-oriented framework with a genuine therapeutic alliance that makes clients feel truly heard. By collaborating on measurable goals and teaching concrete cognitive restructuring tools, I empower my clients to dismantle negative thought patterns and build lasting autonomy.
