New to Grow
Outside of the therapy room, I’m a wife, mother, dog lover, and self-proclaimed pasta connoisseur. I believe some of life’s greatest joys come from meaningful relationships, laughter, and sharing a good meal with the people you love. As an empathetic person, I value creating genuine connections and strive to provide a space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported. My style is warm, relatable, and authentic, but I’m also straightforward and believe that growth happens through a balance of compassion, honesty, and practical tools. I understand that life can be messy, and I’m passionate about helping clients navigate challenges while embracing who they are and building the life they want.
The first session is all about getting to know each other and making sure you feel comfortable. I believe therapy works best when there is a genuine connection, so we'll spend time discussing what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any challenges you're currently facing. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—this is your space, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is warm, collaborative, and straightforward, and I want you to leave our first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the work we can do together.
I bring warmth, authenticity, and a genuine passion for helping others. Clients often appreciate my ability to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment. I lead with empathy while also being honest and straightforward, believing that meaningful growth comes from both compassion and accountability. I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships and use practical, evidence-based tools to help clients navigate life's challenges. As a wife, mother, and animal lover, I understand the importance of connection, balance, and showing up as your authentic self. My goal is to help clients feel empowered, understood, and confident in creating lasting change.
I work best with teens, young adults, and parents who are ready for a therapist who is warm, authentic, and straightforward. My ideal clients may be struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, relationship challenges, or substance use. They appreciate a collaborative approach that combines empathy with honest feedback and practical tools. I enjoy working with clients who want to better understand themselves, build healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether someone is feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support, I strive to create a space that feels safe, relatable, and empowering.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck and learn practical tools to create meaningful change. I strive to create a space that feels supportive and genuine, while also being straightforward and honest. I believe growth happens when clients feel both understood and empowered to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I Incorporate DBT skills to help clients manage overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, and build resilience. I approach therapy with empathy and authenticity, but I’m also not afraid to be direct when needed. I believe clients deserve both compassion and accountability, and I work collaboratively to help them find what works best for their lives.
Trauma Informed Care
I understand that many behaviors and emotions make sense in the context of life experiences. I approach therapy through a trauma-informed lens, balancing empathy with practical strategies that help clients move toward healing. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and empowering—not one-size-fits-all.
