New to Grow
I’m a dedicated mental health counselor with five years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults through life’s challenges. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, and chronic pain, and I’m passionate about helping clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their healing. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, chronic illness, chronic pain, and concentration or focus challenges. I also work with clients who are neurodivergent, whether self-identified or formally diagnosed, and focus on helping clients feel supported and understood.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe in moving at a pace that feels safe while maintaining open communication so you feel supported and understood. I also adapt sessions to fit each client’s needs, including those who are neurodivergent or experience focus challenges.
I help clients reach their goals by working together to identify what matters most to them and breaking it into manageable steps. I focus on building practical coping skills, increasing self-awareness, and creating strategies clients can use in their everyday lives.
My ideal client is someone who is ready to explore their experiences with openness and curiosity, even if they feel unsure where to start. They may be navigating trauma, chronic illness, anxiety, or life transitions and are seeking a supportive space to better understand themselves. They are open to building coping skills, processing emotions, and working collaboratively toward meaningful, realistic goals that support long-term growth and well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful behavior change aligned with their personal goals.
Narrative
I use Narrative Therapy to help clients explore and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, separate from their problems, and build more empowering, meaningful narratives that support growth and healing.
Strength-Based
I use Strengths-Based Therapy to help clients recognize and build on their existing strengths, fostering resilience, confidence, and the ability to create meaningful change aligned with their personal values and goals.
