New to Grow
Welcome! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 16 years of experience supporting children, adolescents and adults navigating life's challenges. I believe that seeking therapy is a courageous step and I'm committed to providing a safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood and supported . I enjoy working with individuals who are navigating life stressors, major life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges and the emotional adjustments that come with becoming a new parent. My therapeutic approach is supportive and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I strive to help clients build resilience, improve relationships, manage stress more effectively and reconnect with the version of themselves they want to be.
Starting therapy can feel both exciting and overwhelming, especially if it is your first time. My goal is to help make you feel comfortable, supported and understood from the very beginning. During the first session, the goal would be to use the time to get to know each other. I will ask you questions about what brings you to therapy, the challenges you are currently facing and what you hope to gain from our time working together. We may discuss relevant information such as; personal history, important relationships, family background and any previous experiences with therapy that may be helpful for me to know. The first session is also an opportunity for you to ask me questions as well! We will move at. a pace that feels comfortable for you and together we will identify your goals and develop a plan tailored to your needs. My approach to therapy is collaborative and I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.
I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing and meaningful change. My role is to provide a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel safe to explore your experiences, better understand yourself and develop practical tools to navigate life's challenges. My approach is client -centered and tailored to your unique needs and goals, Together we can uncover patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on your existing strengths and develop practical strategies that you can apply in your daily life.
I work best with individuals who are ready to invest in themselves and are open to the therapeutic process. You don't need to have all the answers or even know where to begin- therapy is a place to explore, learn and grow! The most meaningful progress often comes from a willingness to be curious, honest and open to a new perspective.
