New to Grow
I am a therapist who brings a deeply attuned and compassionate presence to the work. I see myself as a professional listener who is committed to understanding the fullness of your story and the many experiences that shape your being. My approach is eclectic and person‑centered, grounded in the belief that healing unfolds when you feel genuinely heard, supported, and honored as a whole person. I draw from my training in Mental Health Counseling and Spiritual Integration to offer a culturally responsive and holistic space where all parts of your lived experience are welcomed.
In your first session, you can expect a calm and open environment where we slow down and focus on what feels most present for you. We’ll explore the moments and experiences that have shaped your path, as well as the hopes you carry for your future. I listen closely for the themes and strengths within your story, and together we begin building a therapeutic relationship that supports clarity, growth, and grounded change. My hope is that you leave that first session feeling seen, supported, and encouraged about the journey ahead.
I center your lived experience as the foundation of our work together. I offer a deeply attuned, compassionate, and culturally responsive presence that allows you to explore your story without pressure or judgment. My eclectic style gives us the flexibility to follow what feels most meaningful for you in the moment, whether that involves reflecting on your narrative, exploring your inner world, or grounding yourself in the present. I focus on the whole of your being rather than just the challenges you bring in, helping you connect insight with growth in a way that feels authentic, sustainable, and uniquely your own.
My ideal client is someone who is ready to explore their inner world with honesty and curiosity. They may be navigating transitions, carrying the weight of past experiences, or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. They value a therapeutic relationship built on trust, presence, and thoughtful reflection, and they appreciate a holistic approach that honors their emotional, cultural, and spiritual experiences. They are not expected to have everything figured out; instead, they come with a willingness to slow down, listen inward, and engage in a process that supports clarity, grounded growth, and meaningful change.
I identify as
Person-centered (Rogerian)
At the heart of my work is a commitment to seeing you as a whole person, not a set of symptoms or problems. I offer a warm, attentive presence where you can speak freely and move at your own pace. You guide the direction of our sessions, and I follow your lead with curiosity, compassion, and respect. This approach helps you feel safe enough to explore your story deeply and discover insights that naturally support growth and healing.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In our work together, I help you notice the thoughts and beliefs that shape how you feel and respond to life. We explore where these patterns come from and how they may be affecting your sense of peace, confidence, or direction. As you become more aware of these inner habits, you gain the ability to shift them in ways that support your well‑being. This process is gentle and collaborative, and it helps you build a clearer, more grounded understanding of yourself.
Christian Counseling
When your faith is an important part of your life, I welcome it into the therapeutic space with respect and care. We explore how your spiritual values, questions, and experiences connect to your emotional journey. This might include reflecting on meaning, hope, identity, or the places where faith and life challenges intersect. My role is to support you in integrating your beliefs in a way that feels authentic and strengthening, without pressure or expectation.
