New to Grow
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years experience helping people navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, and life transitions. My style is supportive, practical, and real; I believe humor and a little bit of sarcasm can sometimes help make tough conversations easier while we work toward meaningful change. Therapy should feel approachable, honest, and focus on real life growth.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is really just about getting to know each other. There's no pressure; just a conversation about what is going on and how I might be able to help.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I focus on creating a comfortable space where clients can be honest and work through what's really going on. I think the best method is the one that works for you as an individual.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with a wide range of individuals. Many of the people I work with simply want a supportive space to talk openly, gain perspective, and develop practical tools.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help people understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together we identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and life challenges.
Attachment-based
I use an attachment-based approach to help people understand how early relationships and life experiences shape the way they connect with others and view themselves.
Trauma Informed Care
I take a trauma-informed approach by creating a supportive space where people can explore difficult experiences at their own pace. I focus on building trust, emotional safety, and practical tools while recognizing how past experiences may influence present thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use a solution-focused approach to help people identify their strengths and build on what is already working in their lives. Together we set practical goals and focus on small, meaningful steps that create positive change.
