New to Grow
I’m a humanistic, person‑centered therapist who supports teens and adults navigating stress, anxiety, and overwhelming life demands. I help high‑achieving and highly sensitive clients slow down, build self‑awareness, and create healthier balance in their lives. Through compassionate exploration and mindfulness‑based practices, I guide clients in understanding their patterns, strengthening resilience, and making meaningful changes that lead to greater clarity, emotional well‑being, and a more grounded daily life.
Your first session with me is a calm, welcoming space where you can show up exactly as you are. We’ll start by talking about what brought you to therapy, what you’ve been carrying, and what you hope will feel different in your life. I’ll ask gentle, open‑ended questions to understand your story, your strengths, and the patterns that may be contributing to stress or overwhelm. We move at a pace that feels comfortable for you—there’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. Together, we’ll begin identifying your goals and exploring what support looks like for you. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer sense of how we can work together, what our sessions will focus on, and the next steps toward feeling more grounded, balanced, and understood.
I listen deeply and help clients uncover the patterns, beliefs, and pressures that shape their experiences. I’m skilled at guiding high‑achieving and highly sensitive individuals toward greater self‑awareness, balance, and emotional clarity. Through a blend of mindfulness, insight‑building, and practical strategies, I help clients reconnect with their strengths, develop healthier coping skills, and make meaningful, sustainable changes in their lives.
I support high‑achieving clients in creating meaningful work–life balance by helping them slow down, reconnect with themselves, and become more intentional in how they move through their day. Together, we explore the internal and external pressures that drive overextension, perfectionism, or chronic productivity, and we work to realign their choices with their values. I incorporate mindfulness practices to strengthen present‑moment awareness, allowing clients to notice stress signals earlier, regulate more effectively, and make decisions from a place of clarity rather than urgency. This process fosters greater self‑awareness, healthier boundaries, and a more sustainable rhythms.
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In our sessions, I help you explore the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful thinking patterns—such as catastrophizing, jumping to conclusions, or all‑or‑nothing thinking—that may be contributing to distress or making challenges feel heavier. By gently reframing these thoughts and beliefs, you can reduce stress, interrupt avoidant or safety‑seeking behaviors, and strengthen your ability to self‑correct unhelpful patterns. This process supports more effective stress management and promotes long‑term emotional well‑being.
