LCSW, 6 years of experience
New to Grow
I help you create space to focus on themselves, especially when life feels overwhelming or directionless. You may be balancing many roles while trying to manage stress, past experiences, and the pressure to keep moving forward. In therapy, I provide a supportive environment where you can pause, reflect, and begin to prioritize your own needs. My approach blends compassion with practical strategies, so sessions are not only a place to process but also a space to gain tools you can use in your daily life. Together, we’ll explore the patterns or challenges that keep you feeling stuck, and we’ll work toward realistic steps that bring more balance and clarity. My goal is for you to leave therapy with a stronger sense of yourself, strategies that make life feel manageable, and the confidence to move forward with intention. You don’t have to carry everything on your own, I’m here to walk alongside you.
Your first session is all about creating a space where you can breathe, share, and feel understood. We’ll start by talking through what brings you to therapy, what you hope to work on, and what goals you’d like to set for yourself. I’ll walk you through what to expect in our work together, answer any questions you may have, and make sure you feel comfortable with the process. This isn’t about diving in too deep too fast; it’s about building trust and giving you room to set the pace. We’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, identify immediate concerns, and start outlining a plan that feels doable and supportive. My goal is for you to leave the first session with a clear sense of direction, hope that change is possible, and reassurance that you don’t have to carry everything alone. This is the beginning of us working together to create space for healing, growth, and strategies that truly fit your life.
What makes my work unique is the blend of personal and professional experience I bring into the room. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, school social worker, coach, and educator, I’ve supported women through life’s toughest transitions while also navigating my own journey of growth. I know firsthand the challenges of balancing roles, healing from past wounds, and pursuing the future you want. This lived experience, combined with clinical training, helps me connect in a way that feels real and relatable, no jargon, no judgment, just honesty and support. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and practical, drawing from CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and solution-focused work. I help clients identify roadblocks, reframe unhelpful patterns, and create strategies that actually fit their lives. Whether it’s building coping skills, setting boundaries, or moving past old cycles, I bring compassion and strategy to help clients not just process, but truly move forward.
You’re the strong one, the person everyone leans o,n but inside you may feel exhausted, stuck, or unsure of what’s next. Maybe you’ve carried old wounds, self-doubt, or stress for so long that it feels heavy. You know you’re capable, but something keeps blocking you from moving forward with freedom and confidence. My clients often share this mix of resilience and weariness: they’ve held it all together for others, but now they’re ready to focus on themselves. If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. Together, we’ll unpack the things weighing you down, create space for healing, and build realistic strategies for change. I believe you already have the strength to move forward; you need the tools, support, and safe space to do it. My role is to walk with you as you break cycles, set boundaries, and step into the version of yourself you’ve been envisioning.
I use DBT to support you in managing strong emotions, building healthy coping skills, and improving relationships.
With CBT, I help you explore unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then work together to create new, healthier ways of thinking.
I provide a safe and supportive space for healing, always honoring your story and pacing the process with care.
I focus on your strengths and goals, helping you create realistic steps that move you toward meaningful change.
I value your unique background and experiences, tailoring care to respect and affirm your cultural identity.
