New to Grow
I specialize in helping individuals and couples move from survival mode to intentional living. Together, we will explore what’s beneath the surface; whether that’s chronic worry, emotional triggers, or relational patterns, and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded, in control, connected, and emotionally clear. I tailor each session to your unique needs, drawing from Trauma-Informed care, CBT, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy and Gottman-informed couples work.
In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you, your story, what brings you in, and what you’re hoping to change or understand. I’ll ask gentle, open‑ended questions to help us explore your current challenges, your emotional world, and the patterns you’ve been carrying. There’s no pressure to share everything at once, we will move at a pace that feels safe for you. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about your journey towards healing and growth.
I help clients feel understood while also guiding them toward insight, regulation, and meaningful change. I’m skilled at identifying the patterns beneath trauma, anxiety, and relationship struggles, and I translate those patterns into language clients can finally make sense of. My approach helps clients feel safe enough to explore their inner world, supported enough to face difficult truths, and empowered enough to build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
My ideal client is someone who feels stuck in patterns shaped by trauma, anxiety, or painful relationship dynamics and is ready to understand themselves on a deeper level. I’m best positioned to support individuals who are overwhelmed by their emotions, carry unresolved wounds from the past, or struggle to feel secure and grounded in their relationships. I work well with clients who are motivated for insight, open to reflection, and seeking a space where they can build emotional regulation, heal attachment injuries, and create healthier, more empowered ways of relating to themselves and others.
Other specialties
I identify as
Gottman method
I use the Gottman Method to help couples strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and reduce conflict through structured, evidence‑based interventions. In my practice, I integrate tools like Stress‑Reducing Conversations, Love Maps, and the Aftermath of a Regrettable Incident to build trust and deepen understanding between partners.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, understand how these thoughts influence emotions and behavior, and develop healthier, more adaptive coping strategies. In my practice, CBT provides a structured, evidence‑based framework that supports clients in building insight, reducing distress, and creating meaningful behavioral change.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I practice culturally sensitive therapy by honoring each client’s cultural identity, values, and lived experiences as central to the therapeutic process. I work to create a space where clients feel seen and understood within the context of their cultural background, integrating culturally informed perspectives to support healing, empowerment, and meaningful change.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use Mindfulness‑Based Therapy to help clients build awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations without judgment. By integrating grounding, breathwork, and present‑moment attention, I support clients in reducing reactivity, increasing emotional regulation, and developing a more compassionate, centered relationship with themselves.
Narrative
I use Narrative Therapy to help clients separate themselves from problem‑saturated stories and reconnect with their strengths, values, and preferred identities. In practice, I guide clients in re‑authoring their experiences, externalizing the problem, and creating more empowering narratives that support healing and change.
