New to Grow
Life has a way of nudging us to grow, pause, and ask deeper questions—especially when things feel hard or uncertain. No matter your age or stage, those moments are part of being human. My approach to counseling is eclectic and collaborative, grounded in creating a space where you can show up as you are and feel genuinely supported. Together, we’ll sort through what’s going on, build tools to help you cope, and find ways to move forward that feel meaningful and realistic for you. I work with people navigating burnout, midlife transitions, imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I bring both clinical insight and a real, human presence to the work (and yes, sometimes that includes a little well-placed profanity). I’m especially passionate about understanding how our early family experiences shape the way we live, love, and work. I truly believe that when the right space is created, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself in powerful, lasting ways.
Your first therapy session is a low-pressure, get-to-know-you conversation designed to help you feel comfortable. You’ll go over basics like confidentiality, scheduling, and costs, talk a bit about what brings you in and your background, and begin identifying goals for your work together. It’s also a chance to see if the therapist feels like a good fit. It’s completely normal to feel nervous, a little tired afterward, or unsure of what to share—there’s no pressure to open up all at once, and you can move at a pace that feels right for you.
I bring a balance of clinical skill and genuine human connection to my sessions. My approach is collaborative, down-to-earth, and tailored to each person, drawing from a range of therapeutic methods rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Clients often find that I create a space where they can be honest without feeling judged, while also being gently challenged to grow. I value curiosity, practical tools, and meaningful insight, and I aim to help people not just understand themselves, but actually feel more equipped to move forward in their lives. What makes my approach stand out is that I meet people where they are—with warmth, clarity, and a real investment in their progress.
Adults who are navigating work life balance, day to day stressors, relationships, family, looking for positive growth and change. I am best positioned to serve individuals experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and unhelpful thought patterns that interfere with daily functioning. I work well with clients who are motivated to engage actively in therapy, open to examining their thinking, and willing to practice skills outside of sessions to create change. My approach supports those who want practical, structured strategies to manage symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and develop healthier behaviors. I am particularly effective with clients who value goal-oriented work, want to better understand the connection between their thoughts and actions, and are seeking to build long-term coping skills to enhance independence and resilience.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a therapist using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) applies a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In practice, the clients concerns are evaluated, education is provided about how thinking patterns influence feelings and works collaboratively to set specific goals. Clients are guided to identify and challenge negative or distorted thoughts and replace them with more balanced ones, while also engaging in behavioral strategies such as activity scheduling or gradual exposure to feared situations. Homework assignments reinforce these skills between sessions, and progress is regularly monitored. Overall, CBT empowers clients to develop practical coping strategies and become more independent in managing their mental health.
