New to Grow
Looking for a gentle, supportive place to explore, heal, and grow? Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right therapist is an important part of the process. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and comfortable being yourself. I work with individuals, couples, and families who want to build more authenticity, stronger relationships, and greater emotional well-being. Together, we'll explore what's getting in the way of the life you want while identifying practical steps that support meaningful, lasting change. My approach is person-centered, mindfulness-based, and grounded in curiosity and compassion. I believe every client brings unique strengths, and I tailor therapy to your goals and experiences. I also incorporate somatic techniques to help you better understand the connection between your mind and body and develop tools for managing life's challenges. I am passionate about creating an affirming environment for people of all backgrounds. I especially enjoy supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families, and I strive to provide culturally responsive care that honors each person's identity and lived experience.
During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to therapy. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. My role is to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and help you gain clarity about your goals. I take a person-centered approach, which means I see you as the expert on your own life. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I'll check in regularly to make sure our work together feels helpful and aligned with your needs. My hope is that you leave our first session feeling heard, supported, and confident about the direction we'll take together.
One of my greatest strengths is creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and genuine curiosity. I strive to meet each client where they are and tailor therapy to their unique experiences and goals. My work is rooted in mindfulness-based and somatic practices, helping clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences. Together, we'll develop practical tools that support emotional wellness while creating space for deeper self-awareness and personal growth. I am deeply committed to providing affirming, inclusive care. My work is grounded in respect for diversity, social justice, and creating a space where clients feel accepted, valued, and empowered to be their authentic selves.
I like to pride myself in meeting clients where they are at. That being said, I am a person with my own lived history and experiences. I tend to be an especially good fit for the following demographics: LGBTQ+ and gender diverse clients, BIPOC clients, clients that are involved in social justice work, and adult clients 19-50 years of age.
I believe that our ability to cope with the present is a strong determinant of wellness. ACT is a highly flexible pathway to discovering how your values and commitments can become healing agents when the world feels overwhelming.
I have had success treating couples with EFT through the introduction of a few simple, relatable concepts. In my experience, the strongest factor driving relationships to grow apart is when the members of that relationship have lost sight through miscommunication, micro-aggressions, and a loss of time and space to reconnect.
CBT is often misunderstood, largely because it is not always explained with the individual in mind. I believe our attitudes, combined with a strong sense of our lived experiences, truly can shape the way we feel and relate to the world.
The basis of any client rapport is understanding where the client is coming from. While I might not share every clients' background and/or lived experiences, I will listen, reflect, and internalize what my clients tell me about themselves, even if their truths confront my own teachings.
