New to Grow
There are times in your life when you may feel helpless, depressed, anxious, or even be experiencing conflict with the people you love. You may also see a family member, child, or friend struggling and wonder what you can do to help them work through their negative feelings. When we are in dark places, it can be difficult to understand that healing and hope are possible. As a counselor, I have worked with adults, couples, families, and children. I can help you or your loved ones go from a place of frustration and sadness to healing and growth. I use a combination of classical talk therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, meditation, sensory activities, and motivational interviewing to help reveal your strengths and uncover helpful and unhelpful patterns in your thinking. Together, we can identify themes or patterns in our conversations and use these to develop goals and strategies to heal and grow. I am committed to meeting my clients where they are and building a foundation of genuine trust and respect from the very first meeting. Your comfort is my priority. Wherever you are in your journey, I can help you to recognize your successes, identify areas for change, and create strategies that work for you, personally, to move forward.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to decide whether this feels like a good fit. We’ll spend time talking about what’s bringing you to therapy now, any concerns or goals you have, and a bit about your background. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable—there’s no pressure to tell your whole story right away.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood from the very first session with strong attunement and empathy.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who are curious about themselves, open to reflection, and willing to engage honestly in the therapeutic process—even when it feels uncomfortable. My ideal clients value growth, want to understand patterns that no longer serve them, and are ready to build a more authentic and fulfilling life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to uncover helpful and unhelpful patterns in your thinking. Together, we can identify themes or patterns in our conversations and use these to develop goals and strategies to heal and grow.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT to acknowledge your emotions and experiences and help you to understand them by increasing personal awareness.
Couples Counseling
I like to approach couples counseling by ensuring both partners feel heard and respected.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I use EFT to explore underlying emotional and attachment needs, rather than just exploring surface level behaviors.
Trauma Informed Care
I use trauma informed care to build safety, trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment to better understand the client.
