New to Grow
Integrating clinical expertise with Christian values, I strive to support emotional healing, resilience, and personal growth. I believe true healing occurs when mind, body, and spirit are nurtured together. My work focuses on helping clients manage stress, regulate emotions and move forward with hope, faith, and intention while honoring each individual's unique journey. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of South Florida and my graduate studies at the University of South Carolina. Throughout my career, I have served diverse populations, including children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Clients can expect a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where we work collaboratively to build greater emotional awareness and together explore their unique reasons for change. Together, we will identify unhelpful thought patterns, explore areas for growth, develop healthier coping strategies, and strengthen emotional regulation skills.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths are compassion, warmth, and strong work ethic. I strive to create a welcoming environment where clients feel seen, heard, and respected. I believe meaningful change happens within a trusting therapeutic relationship, so I intentionally work to build connection and meet clients where they are. I am committed to walking alongside my clients on their journey, offering both support and gentle challenge. I view therapy as a collaborative process and create opportunities for growth, insight, and practical skill development. Clinically, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral (DBT) skills, and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients develop emotional regulation, healthier thinking patterns, and increased self-awareness. I tailor these approaches to each individual's needs, empowering them to build resilience and lasting change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is someone who is open to collaboration and values the therapeutic relationship. Individuals who are willing to explore their thought and behavioral patterns, and grow at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps us slow down, notice what we're telling ourselves, and replace thoughts that keep us stuck with ones that move us forward.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT skills help you manage overwhelming feelings, stay grounded in the moment, and respond effectively instead of react.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing allows for conversations where we explore and work through mixed feelings while you discover your own motivation to make the changes necessary to move forward.
