LPC, 3 years of experience
New to Grow
I know how important it is to feel safe and understood when sharing your story. My approach to therapy is warm, trauma-focused, and centered on building a trusting relationship where you don’t have to go through things alone. Together, we’ll move at your pace, focusing on healing, growth, and finding new ways to care for yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, accepted, and empowered.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal in our first session is to make sure you feel comfortable and safe. We’ll spend time getting to know each other, talking about what brought you here, and identifying the goals you’d like to work toward. There’s no pressure to share everything right away — we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll begin building a foundation of trust and clarity to guide the rest of our work.
One of my strengths as a therapist is that I truly understand how vulnerable it can feel to open up about your mental health. Having my own lived experience with mental health challenges, I approach therapy with empathy and authenticity. I believe in meeting you exactly where you’re at and honoring your unique process. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, focusing on creating safety, trust, and space for growth along the way.
I welcome people from all walks of life into the therapy space, including those in the LGBTQIA+ community. My ideal clients are anyone who is ready to take steps toward healing, whether they’re working through past trauma, navigating life transitions, or simply wanting more balance and peace. I believe the heart of therapy is trust and safety, so I work to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Together, we’ll explore your story, uncover strengths, and move toward the life you want to create.
