New to Grow
My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each individual from ages 6 through 50.. I see neurodivergent clients, LGBTQIA+ challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, depression with a holistic approach to healing with psychoeducation on brain-body connection and tools to support the nervous system. As a neurodivergent individual, I am naturally attuned to the challenges and strengths of neurodivergent clients … which leads to greater patience, validation and empathy for my clients. I draw from science-based therapies to support healing on both emotional and nervous system levels. This may include trauma-focused work, nervous system regulation skills, mindfulness, somatic (body-based) practices, cognitive and behavioral strategies, and practical tools to support everyday life. Together, we will work at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you. Therapy may focus on processing experiences, building emotional regulation skills, increasing mind-body awareness, strengthening boundaries, and creating healthier patterns that extend beyond the therapy room.
In our first session, my priority is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can share at your own pace. We’ll talk about what brings you here, explore your goals, and discuss how we might work together. There’s no pressure to have all the answers — this is simply the beginning of your journey toward clarity and healing.
As a therapist, I strive to create a safe space where clients feel truly heard, valued, and validated in their experiences. My work is grounded in deep empathy, active listening, and a calm, steady presence that helps clients navigate even the most challenging moments. I adapt my approach to honor each person’s unique story, culture, and goals, using research- backed practices to support meaningful growth. Committed to lifelong learning, I continually expand my skills to offer the most effective care possible.
Taking the first step toward healing and growth can feel vulnerable, I’m glad you’re here. Talking through problems can be incredibly helpful—especially when you feel understood. At the same time, many people find that insight alone is not enough to create lasting change. This is especially true when working with trauma, anxiety, panic, emotional overwhelm, nervous system dysregulation, or longstanding patterns that continue despite self-awareness. Many of our struggles are held not only in the mind, but also in the nervous system. Because of this, healing often requires more than traditional talk therapy alone. Together, we will work at a pace that feels safe for you. Therapy may focus on processing experiences, building emotional regulation skills, increasing mind-body awareness, strengthening boundaries, and creating healthier patterns that extend beyond therapy. When working with children age 6 and up, I utilize age-appropriate adaptations of CBT, DBT and ACT, as well as Flash Technique, EFT and GTI ... (Grief and Trauma Intervention). I also teach child-friendly versions of nervous system regulation interventions, such as progressive muscle relaxation. I have successfully treated phobias and social anxiety in youth using exposure therapy. Active participation in learning science-based parenting techniques and calming skills is important. Research shows parenting psychoeducation significantly improves children's therapeutic progress by reducing behavior problems, enhancing family functioning, and strengthening parent-child relationships. It empowers parents with knowledge and skills, which has been shown to be a key factor in a child's treatment success, especially for conditions like ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and trauma-related issues For adult clients you can expect a collaborative structured approach that honors unique experiences. I also encourage active participation, including openness to trying new practices, reflection between sessions, and ongoing feedback so our work together feels meaningful and effective.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I've been using CBT in my practice for eleven years. It's helped many clients challenge recurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We'll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact with one another. We'll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a more relaxed and less stressful life.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help clients process and recover from trauma, PTSD, and painful life experiences. CPT focuses on identifying unhelpful beliefs and thought patterns that develop after trauma and replacing them with more balanced, empowering perspectives. Through a structured, supportive approach, clients often experience reduced distress, improved emotional regulation, and greater confidence in moving forward.
Humanistic
My approach is grounded in humanistic therapy, which focuses on helping clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. I believe people have the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change when they are met with empathy, authenticity, and compassion. Together, we explore your experiences, strengths, values, and goals to help you build greater self-awareness, confidence, and fulfillment
Eclectic
My therapeutic approach is eclectic, meaning I draw from a variety of research backed therapy methods to meet your unique needs, goals, and personality. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy by integrating techniques from different modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), flash technique, emotional freedom technique, mindfulness-based approaches and trauma-informed care. I believe that each person’s experiences and challenges are different, so therapy should be flexible, collaborative, and individualized. Together, we will identify what is most helpful for you while building insight, practical coping skills, emotional resilience, and meaningful personal growth in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.
