New to Grow
You may look like you have things together on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning, responsible, and used to being the one others rely on, yet privately feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to slow down and take care of themselves. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Often, they are managing demanding careers, family responsibilities, or relationship stress while quietly feeling like it is never enough or wondering why things still feel so heavy. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), specializing in helping clients understand and shift long-standing emotional and relational patterns that keep them feeling stuck. Clients often describe me as easy to talk to and appreciate that they can be fully honest in a way they may not feel comfortable doing elsewhere. I provide a space where you do not have to filter yourself. I also bring a broad perspective shaped by living in different parts of the U.S. and traveling extensively internationally, which has deepened my ability to connect with people from many backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences. In addition, my experience in Corporate America leadership roles gives me a strong understanding of workplace pressure, burnout, performance expectations, and the emotional toll of high-responsibility environments.
In our first session, we will talk through what brought you to therapy and what feels most important for you right now. You do not need to have everything figured out—this is a space to slow things down and begin making sense of what has been feeling overwhelming. We will start identifying patterns, stressors, and relationship dynamics that may be contributing to how you are feeling, and begin clarifying what you would like to be different. While we won’t solve everything in the first session, many clients often feel immediate relief just from being able to say things out loud and feel truly heard. There is often a sense of hope and clarity that begins to emerge even after our first conversation. Together, we will begin shaping realistic goals and next steps so you leave with a clearer sense of direction and what working together can look like.
One of my greatest strengths is helping clients feel comfortable opening up quickly, even about things they may not have been able to say elsewhere. Clients often describe me as easy to talk to and appreciate having a space where they can be fully honest without judgment. I also take a direct, practical approach to therapy. I focus on helping clients identify patterns clearly and translate insight into meaningful, realistic action steps. Therapy with me is not just about understanding what is happening, but also about figuring out how to change it. Clients often value my honesty and straightforward style. I do not sugarcoat what I see, but I communicate it in a supportive and respectful way. Many people find this helpful because it allows them to hear things they may not be getting from others in their life. Over time, clients often share that they gain clarity about themselves, their relationships, and the changes they need to make—and feel more empowered to take those steps. I have completed over 8,000 telehealth sessions with clients across the U.S. and around the world, working with people from many different cultures, backgrounds, and life stages.
My ideal client is someone who genuinely wants to better understand themselves and create meaningful change in their life. You don’t have to have everything figured out, but being open, curious, and willing to do the work matters. I especially enjoy working with professionals and people navigating the demands of career, relationships, transitions, and personal expectations. Having worked in leadership and management roles in the corporate world myself, I understand the unique stressors that can come with demanding careers, workplace dynamics, high expectations, and the pressure to always “have it together.” Having lived in different parts of the country and traveled extensively, I value diverse perspectives and have a deep appreciation for different cultures, religions, and life experiences. I work with adults of all genders and identities and strive to create a space where clients feel respected, understood, and comfortable being themselves. My style is collaborative, grounded, and goal-focused. I believe therapy works best when we have a shared understanding of what you want to accomplish and can recognize the progress you’re making along the way.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Using CBT, we’ll look at how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. We’ll work together to recognize unhelpful thought patterns and build practical strategies to help you respond to challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
Couples Counseling
Every relationship is different, so I tailor my approach to the specific needs of each couple. I may incorporate concepts from Systems Theory, the Gottman Method, and other evidence-based approaches to help both partners feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we work toward improving communication, rebuilding connection, and creating mutual goals for the relationship.
Grief Therapy
Grief can feel overwhelming and deeply isolating, impacting you emotionally, physically, and mentally. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can process difficult emotions at your own pace while learning to navigate life after loss. Together, we work toward healing, finding meaning, and honoring the memories and relationships that matter most to you.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy focuses on helping clients move forward by building on their strengths and identifying achievable goals. Rather than spending all of our time focused on the problem itself, we’ll work together to recognize patterns, uncover what’s already helping, and develop practical steps toward positive change.
Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy helps us explore how early relationships and life experiences may influence your current relationship patterns, emotional responses, and ability to trust and feel secure with others. Together, we’ll work to better understand patterns such as anxious, avoidant, or disorganized attachment styles and develop healthier, more secure ways of connecting in your relationships and everyday life.
