New to Grow
I naturally create a nurturing and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to share openly. I am deeply empathetic and intuitive, while also providing consistent, honest feedback to help clients recognize patterns and move toward change. My approach balances compassion with directness, supporting insight, self-awareness, and meaningful, lasting growth. I value collaboration and tailor therapy to each client's unique needs
The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a sense of comfort and trust. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, your current challenges, and any relevant background. I’ll ask some guiding questions, but there’s no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of past experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, integrating EMDR, attachment-based, and insight-oriented therapy. I offer a supportive, collaborative space to explore patterns, process experiences, and build a more secure sense of self, helping clients move toward greater clarity, emotional balance, and more fulfilling connections.
I work with individuals who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, and challenging relationship dynamics, often rooted in earlier life experiences or unmet emotional needs. Many of my clients are insightful and high-functioning, yet privately struggle with feeling “not enough,” difficulty setting boundaries, people-pleasing, or repeating painful relational cycles that they can intellectually understand but still can’t fully shift. A common focus in my work is helping clients make sense of how early attachment experiences—especially within caregiver relationships—may still be shaping how they relate to themselves and others today. This often includes gently exploring “inner child” experiences, emotional wounds, and protective patterns that once served a purpose but may now feel limiting. In addition to this depth-oriented, attachment-based work, I integrate EMDR to help process distressing or unresolved experiences that continue to impact the nervous system and emotional well-being. This allows for both insight and experiential healing, supporting change that feels not just understood, but felt and embodied. Clients often come to me wanting more than coping strategies—they are seeking a deeper shift in how they relate to themselves, their past, and their relationships. They want to feel more secure internally, more grounded in their emotions, and more confident in their connections with others. My style is warm, intuitive, and collaborative, with a balance of deep empathy and thoughtful, honest reflection. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe enough to explore vulnerable parts of themselves while also being gently supported toward meaningful insight and change. The work is ultimately about healing relational wounds, softening self-criticism, and building a more secure, connected, and authentic sense of self.
EMDR
I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process distressing experiences and reduce the emotional impact of past trauma. I use a structured, phase-based approach to support clients in building internal resources, reprocessing memories, and developing more adaptive beliefs. EMDR is integrated with other therapeutic approaches to ensure treatment is paced safely and tailored to each client’s needs.
Attachment-based
I use an attachment-based, trauma-informed approach to help clients understand how early relationships and life experiences shape their current emotional patterns, sense of self, and connections with others. This includes inner child work to explore and heal earlier experiences, including unresolved dynamics related to caregivers (often referred to as ‘mother’ or ‘father’ wounds). I emphasize building a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship while helping clients develop emotional regulation and more secure, adaptive patterns.
Psychodynamic
I incorporate a psychodynamic, trauma-informed lens to explore how early relationships and unconscious patterns influence present-day emotions, behaviors, and relational dynamics. This includes attention to attachment experiences and inner emotional ‘parts’ that may stem from earlier life experiences. Through insight-oriented work, clients develop greater awareness of these patterns and the ability to shift them toward healthier, more adaptive ways of relating.
