New to Grow
I am a compassionate, client-centered counselor who believes in meeting people where they are and honoring each person’s unique journey. As a mom of two, I deeply understand the challenges, joys, and complexities that come with parenting, and I especially enjoy working with women and parents who are navigating life’s many transitions. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. My approach focuses on building on strengths, fostering self-awareness, and supporting meaningful, lasting growth—so clients can feel more confident, balanced, and connected in their daily lives.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and heard. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and a little about your background—at your own pace. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. I believe healing happens best when you feel safe and understood. I also use humor (when appropriate!) to help ease nerves and build connection—because therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. Think of this session as a conversation, not an interrogation. We’ll begin building a plan together that feels realistic, supportive, and aligned with your goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Some of my strengths as a therapist are my ability to connect with clients through warmth, humor, and genuine understanding. I create a space where people feel safe being themselves—no judgment, no pressure, and no need to have it all figured out. I’m especially skilled at helping clients see multiple perspectives, offering clarity without minimizing their feelings. This allows clients to feel validated while also gaining new insight, balance, and confidence in how they move forward.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are women and parents who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves while juggling the demands of everyday life. I work well with those navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, identity shifts, and burnout, especially related to motherhood and caregiving roles. I support clients who want to build confidence, develop healthier coping skills, and reconnect with their strengths while creating more balance, clarity, and fulfillment in their lives.
Strength-Based
I use a strength-based approach to help clients recognize their resilience, abilities, and past successes. This builds confidence, hope, and a sense of empowerment in their healing process.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)
I use a CBT approach to help clients gently explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and how they influence one another. This helps them build healthier thinking patterns and practical coping skills.
Positive Psychology
I use a positive psychology approach to help clients focus on their strengths, values, and what brings them joy and meaning. This supports hope, resilience, and a greater sense of well-being.
