New to Grow
I help people get curious about themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that keep them stuck. I work with folks who want to feel more grounded, explore their emotions, and make sense of life’s twists and turns—sometimes challenging, sometimes playful. I especially enjoy working with clients who are spiritually curious, reflective, and open to exploring dreams, symbols, and the deeper mysteries of life, while also building practical skills for navigating feelings and relationships. My approach blends talk therapy with somatic awareness, mindfulness, Jungian exploration, and a touch of transpersonal work—plus the tools I bring from herbalism and yoga to support mind-body balance. With couples I weave in the structure and practices of Gottman Method; helping them find healthy communication and balance. I like to meet clients where they are, help them reconnect with their inner wisdom, and create space for growth, insight, and even a little laughter along the way.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is all about getting to know each other and figuring out what brought you here. Fair warning: I’ve probably had too much coffee, I talk straight, and sometimes that includes a well-placed expletive—and there’s a good chance I’ll reference mythos at some point. I stay up-to-date on the latest literature and training, and I bring all of that into our work together. We’ll spend time exploring your experiences, patterns, and challenges—really digging into what’s happening beneath the surface. From there, we’ll collaborate on setting goals and creating a game plan that actually makes sense for your life. Expect a mix of deep exploration, practical skills, and yes, a little humor. My aim is for you to leave the session feeling seen, understood, and with a roadmap that feels actionable and true to you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths are the wisdom and knowledge I bring, including a deep understanding of mind-body integrative work, and my ability to sit with immense discomfort, trauma, and pain without turning away. I hold space for clients’ stories, challenge them when growth calls for it, and guide them toward self-compassion and understanding. I support people in facing what feels unbearable, making sense of their experiences, and moving toward insight, healing, and authentic change.
Couples Counseling
I primarily use the Gottman Method to help couples interrupt harmful patterns, deepen emotional attunement, and build more intentional, sustainable ways of relating.
Jungian
I help individuals understand themselves more deeply by exploring patterns, dreams, and inner experiences to support healing and growth.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I integrate mindfulness practices to support awareness, nervous system regulation, and a more compassionate, grounded relationship to inner experience.
Transpersonal
I integrate transpersonal work to support connection to meaning, spirit, and expanded states of awareness, honoring healing beyond the individual ego.
Somatic
I integrate somatic work to support nervous system healing, deepen embodiment, and access the body as a source of insight and transformation.
