New to Grow
You’re the one everyone relies on—but lately, it feels like too much. You’re managing a demanding career, navigating ongoing health concerns or chronic pain, or facing the emotional weight of infertility. From the outside, it may look like you’re holding everything together, but inside you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and alone in what you’re carrying. I work with high-performing individuals who are used to pushing through—whether that’s at work, in their relationships, or through complex medical experiences—but are now feeling burned out, anxious, or disconnected. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and create space for you to feel supported, understood, and more like yourself again. Clients often leave sessions feeling clearer, more grounded, and better equipped to navigate both the emotional and practical challenges of work, health, and life.
In our first few sessions, we’ll begin creating a space where you can exhale. We’ll identify what’s been weighing on you—whether it’s workplace stress, the isolation of infertility, or the daily impact of chronic pain—and start building tools to help you feel more balanced and supported. I care deeply about this work and about helping you find steadiness during difficult seasons. You don’t have to navigate this alone. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to support you.
I specialize in supporting individuals coping with infertility, chronic illness or pain, burnout, and anxiety. These experiences can take a toll not just physically, but emotionally—impacting identity, relationships, and your sense of control. My approach is supportive, direct, and practical. I help you process the emotional weight of what you’re going through while also building tools to manage stress, set boundaries, and care for yourself in sustainable ways. We’ll work together to understand patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and help you feel more grounded and empowered—even in the midst of uncertainty.
I am best positioned to serve adult women who are navigating a defining moment — the kind that does not come with a roadmap and cannot be solved by simply working harder or thinking more positively. My clients are often high-functioning on the outside and quietly struggling on the inside. They are managing careers, relationships, and responsibilities while carrying grief, anxiety, infertility, betrayal, or the weight of a life that looks right but does not feel right. They are smart, self-aware, and often frustrated that insight alone has not been enough to create the change they are looking for. The clients I work best with are ready to do real work. They are not looking for someone to tell them what to do or simply validate what they already know. They want a therapist who will be honest with them, challenge them with compassion, and stay with them through the parts that are hard to say out loud. They value a structured, evidence-based approach but also want to feel genuinely seen as a whole person, not a diagnosis or a presenting problem. I am particularly well suited to support women facing infertility and pregnancy loss, the aftermath of infidelity and relationship betrayal, adult ADHD that has gone unrecognized or undertreated, major life transitions including divorce, career change, and identity shifts, and grief that the people around them have stopped making space for. My clients tend to leave therapy not just feeling better, but functioning differently — with a clearer sense of who they are, what they need, and how to advocate for themselves in the relationships and circumstances that matter most.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been a cornerstone of my clinical practice for over 20 years, and I use it to help adult clients identify and reframe the thought patterns keeping them stuck — whether they are navigating anxiety, ADHD, grief, infertility, or major life transitions. My approach is collaborative and highly individualized, combining traditional thought-challenging techniques with self-compassion work, behavioral activation, and psychoeducation tailored to each client's specific presenting concerns. What I value most about CBT is that it gives clients a concrete, transferable set of skills that belongs to them long after our work together ends.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a powerful complement to my clinical work, particularly with clients who have spent years fighting their own thoughts and emotions rather than learning to relate to them differently. I use ACT to help clients develop psychological flexibility — the ability to hold difficult feelings with compassion and curiosity rather than avoidance — while clarifying the values that give their lives meaning and taking committed action in that direction. What draws me to ACT especially with women navigating infertility, grief, and life transitions is that it honors the reality that some pain cannot be fixed or reframed away, and instead offers a path toward living fully alongside it.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy informs my work with clients who struggle with emotional intensity, interpersonal conflict, and the push-pull between wanting things to change and feeling overwhelmed by the process of changing them. I draw on DBT's core skill sets — mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness — to give clients practical, concrete tools they can use in the moments when their emotions feel biggest and their usual coping strategies are not working. What I find most powerful about DBT in my practice is the dialectic at its heart: the idea that a client can be doing the best they can and still need to do better, which creates a framework for both radical self-acceptance and meaningful growth at the same time.
