New to Grow
As a therapist, I approach healing through curiosity, collaboration, and the belief that people deserve the space to define their own narratives outside of trauma, survival, and societal expectations. My work is deeply informed by my experiences supporting survivors of sexual assault and human trafficking, individuals navigating trauma, burnout, and major life transitions. As a first-generation daughter and professional, I understand the complex intersection of culture, family expectations, identity, and resilience. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and rooted in empowerment, helping clients rebuild self-trust, strengthen intuition, and move toward meaningful and sustainable growth.
In our first session, we’ll get a feel for one another, talk through what’s brought you to therapy, explore the goals you’d like to work toward, and see if we feel like a good fit. My goal is to create a space that feels grounded, supportive, collaborative, and free of judgment. And if you’re not fully sure where to start yet, that’s okay. We can figure it out together.
I prioritize creating a space that feels emotionally safe and collaborative while still encouraging meaningful growth and self-reflection. I work from a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens, helping clients better understand the patterns, beliefs, and survival strategies that may no longer be serving them.
I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences. I have particular insight into the pressures many first-generation individuals face, including cultural expectations, identity conflicts, and family dynamics. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and centered on empowerment, rebuilding self-trust, strengthening intuition, and creating meaningful growth through evidence-based approaches such as CBT and CPT.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT through a trauma-informed and strength based lens to help individual who are experiencing distorted thoughts and negative self-talk. CBT allows for an individual to label and identify these patterns to feel better equipped with the appropriate coping and emotional regulation skills.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I utilize Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to support individuals navigating trauma, PTSD, and trauma-related beliefs rooted in shame, guilt, self-blame, and safety concerns. This approach focuses on helping clients identify and challenge ‘stuck points,’ process traumatic experiences in a safe and collaborative environment, and develop more balanced, adaptive beliefs about themselves and the world.
