New to Grow
I help adults heal from trauma and anxiety so they can feel safer, more grounded, and more in control of their lives. My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative, with a strong focus on nervous system regulation. I integrate practical tools you can use in your daily life with deeper therapeutic work, so you’re not just talking about your experiences—you’re learning how to feel differently in your body over time.
Many clients come in feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start. We won't rush the process or push you to revisit things before you’re ready. Instead, we focus first on helping your mind and body feel safer and more stable. From there, we gently begin to process what you’ve been carrying—at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of your experience. Together, we create a clear path forward so therapy feels supportive, not overwhelming.
I choose to be real and vulnerable about who I am so we can build a trusting relationship together. Sometimes I’ll cry with you. Sometimes I’ll cuss with you. Hopefully we can also find some laughs along the way. I can be overly animated (no stoic “therapy face” here!). You can rely on my unconditional support of you. I’ll ask questions to understand your experience, and you’re always welcome to ask questions too. A strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change.
I support people who are dealing with ongoing anxiety or stress that won’t shut off; people processing trauma or past experiences that still feel present; and people feeling burned out, emotionally exhausted, or stuck. I provide daytime sessions that are convenient for remote or hybrid professionals, parents with school-aged children, individuals with flexible schedules, and anyone who wants to show up to therapy with more mental energy rather than trying to fit therapy in at the end of an already exhausting day.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them. It teaches gentle awareness and ways to step back from unhelpful thoughts while getting clear on what truly matters. From there, clients take meaningful steps toward their values, even when things feel hard.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. It gently supports clients in identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and exploring more balanced, helpful ways of thinking. From there, they practice small, meaningful changes in behavior that support how they want to feel and live.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process and heal from distressing or overwhelming experiences that can feel “stuck.” Using guided eye movements or other gentle bilateral stimulation, it supports the brain in reprocessing these memories so they feel less intense and more integrated. Over time, clients often feel a greater sense of relief, safety, and emotional ease.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy helps people understand the different “parts” of themselves, including those that carry pain and those that try to protect. With curiosity and compassion, clients learn to connect with these parts rather than push them away. Over time, this fosters a sense of inner calm, healing, and a more grounded, confident Self.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Therapy helps people bring their attention to the present moment with openness and curiosity. It supports noticing thoughts, feelings, and body sensations without judgment, rather than getting caught up in them. Over time, this can create more calm, clarity, and a kinder relationship with yourself.
