New to Grow
I believe that real change happens when you finally feel like someone 'gets' it. Since 2009, I’ve dedicated my career to being that steady, supportive presence for people navigating life’s hardest chapters. My approach is a blend of deep professional experience and a natural, intuitive way of listening that helps us get to the heart of what’s holding you back. While I stay tucked into the latest heart-centered therapy methods, my goal is simple: to make sure you feel safe, seen, and truly supported. Whether you're feeling stuck or just need a space to exhale, I’m here to help you find your way back to yourself with clarity and compassion."
Your first session is an invitation to share, take time for yourself and guide me on what you need to feel better. There is no pressure to “know what to say” or have everything figured out. This is simply a space for you to be seen, heard, and supported.
What many clients share after working with me is that they feel deeply understood. They often describe my presence as intuitive, grounded in experience, and guided by inner wisdom and insight.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT provides people with a roadmap. Instead of talking in circles, it helps them identify a specific problem, break it down, and work toward measurable change.
EMDR
EMDR is for trauma and clients don’t have to describe every detail of the trauma. EMDR works by activating the memory network internally, which can feel safer and less overwhelming for many people. This makes the change more comprehensive and long‑lasting.
Motivational Interviewing
Most people feel two ways about change. MI treats ambivalence as normal, not resistance. When clients feel understood instead of pushed, they naturally move toward change. It reduces defensiveness. Using empathy, reflective listening, and autonomy‑supportive language, clients don’t feel judged or pressured — which keeps the conversation open and productive.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Clients feel understood and supported in making changes. This reduces shame, defensiveness, and emotional shutdown — especially for people with intense emotions or trauma histories. These skills directly target the behaviors that cause suffering.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation helps clients recognize: patterns, triggers, thoughts, emotions and behaviors. This awareness is the foundation for meaningful change. When clients understand the why behind their symptoms and their skills, they’re more likely to maintain progress outside of therapy. Understanding that symptoms are common responses to stress, trauma, or biology reduces shame and self‑blame.
