New to Grow
My expertise includes supporting women experiencing anxiety, depression, overthinking, stress, or emotional burnout. I also specialize in helping individuals improve their self-esteem, establish and maintain healthy boundaries, practice self-care and mindfulness. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and my goal is to walk alongside you as a guide. My approach is rooted in a person-centered philosophy, where I create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to feel heard and understood. If you feel you are ready to challenge yourself in areas, reach out to me and we can work together towards your goals.
Since this is our first time meeting, there is absolutely no pressure to dive into the heavy stuff right away unless you want to. The first session is really just about getting to know each other, seeing how we vibe and ensuring you feel comfortable working with me. We will also chat a bit about what brings you in for extra support, and what you hope to get out of our time together. We will also briefly go over logistics like confidentiality, so you know exactly how your privacy is protected. Think of this as a collaboration. You are the expert on your own life, and I'm here to provide the tools, support, and perspective to help you navigate it. We will move entirely at your pace. You are always in control of what you choose to share.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a person-centered philosophy, which means our sessions will be a true partnership. We will work together to identify your goals and create a roadmap to get there.
Welcome to a space designed entirely for you as an adult navigating your unique life path. In our work together, you set the agenda. We will focus directly on the specific concerns that brought you here today, explore the mindsets and belief systems that drive your daily choices, and clarify your personal goals for change. My role is to help you unpack these areas with clarity and purpose, providing an objective sounding board so you can build the self-awareness, coping strategies, and practical steps needed to move forward on your own terms.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Sometimes, the way we interpret a situation can make us feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed—even when we are doing our absolute best. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a gentle, collaborative tool that helps us explore the invisible connections between our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions. Together, we can slowly look at the repetitive stories or patterns our minds tell us, kindly check if they are serving us, and practice small, daily shifts to help you feel more grounded, resilient, and at peace. You don't have to change everything overnight; we will take it one gentle step at a time.
Gestalt
In our sessions, we aren’t just going to talk about your past or analyze your problems from a distance. We are going to focus on the 'here and now'—what you are thinking, feeling, and physically experiencing in this exact moment. Together, we will safely explore the different parts of yourself, bring hidden emotions to life, and work through unresolved past experiences that are weighing you down today. By becoming fully aware of your present self, you can stop feeling fragmented, accept who you are, and discover your own natural capacity to heal and grow.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Instead of spending your energy fighting, changing, or running away from difficult thoughts and painful feelings, ACT invites you to make room for them. In our sessions, we will practice accepting the uncomfortable parts of your inner world without letting them control you. We will work on anchoring yourself in the present moment, viewing your thoughts as just words rather than absolute truths, and getting crystal clear on what truly matters to you. By changing your relationship with your struggles, you can stop feeling stuck and start taking purposeful, daily actions that align with the kind of life you actually want to live.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In our work together, we aren't going to spend a lot of time analyzing your past problems, diagnosing what is wrong, or digging into old wounds. Instead, we are going to focus entirely on your strengths, your resources, and your future. We will explore what your life looks like when things are going well, clarify your specific goals, and look for the small steps you are already taking to get there. You already have the resilience and the tools inside you to build a better tomorrow; our job is simply to discover them, map them out, and amplify them so you can move forward quickly.
Humanistic
In this space, you are the true expert on your own life. My role is not to analyze you, judge you, or tell you how to fix your problems, but to walk alongside you with total acceptance and empathy. We will focus on your unique experience of the world right now, helping you connect with your true self and your inner wisdom. You already possess the natural capacity to heal, grow, and fulfill your potential; together, we will create a safe, warm environment where you can freely explore who you are and choose who you want to become.
