New to Grow
I've lived a colorful life, spending 20 years in the entertainment industry, and found my way to therapy through a deep personal experience. I am calm, compassionate, and endlessly curious, here to help others navigate life challenges with understanding and heart. I am thankful for the opportunity that this profession has given me. I work very hard and care very deeply about everyone who sits in front of me.
And your first session with me, things are taken at your pace. You can expect a calm, supportive and safe space to share what's on your mind and what's been weighing on you. Together, we will get a clear sense of your goals, explore what brought you here, and begin to map out practical, compassionate ways to move forward. My goal is for you to always feel heard, understood, and supported from the very start.
I've survived experiences in my own life that should have left me broken, yet I have allowed them to make me resilient and fully present. My own journey through suffering has equipped me the honor of sitting with others pain compassionately and help them find their own path forward. I am empathetic, patient, and have a deep understanding of pain.
I am a relational, client centered clinician who works with individuals, couples, and families navigating grief, anxiety, and depression. I strive to create a steady, supportive space we're clients feel safe to be honest about what they are carrying, while also helping them move toward meaningful change. My approach is both compassionate and practical… I meet clients where they are, whether they need space to process loss, tools to manage overwhelming emotions, or guidance in strengthening their relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I love working with CBT as it is so helpful in clients being able to identify and reframe unhelpful and untrue thought patterns, develop healthier behaviors, and build practical skills for managing and improving emotions and daily functions.
Grief Therapy
In my own personal experience with grief, I approach grief therapy as a gentle, supportive space where you can process a loss at your own pace while finding ways to carry both your pain and your memories forward.
EMDR
EMDR is used to help you safely process and release the weight of painful experiences and trauma so they no longer feel as overwhelming in your day to day life.
Gottman method
The Gottman method is so beneficial in working with couples, and families. It helps to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and create more stable, respectful, and connected relationships.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my work, I use solution focused brief therapy to help you identify what's already working, clarify your goals, and take practical, forward moving steps towards meaningful change.
