New to Grow
I’m a therapist who takes a real, down-to-earth approach to helping people feel more understood and less overwhelmed. My approach is neuro-affirming, focusing on moving past the 'invisible load' of motherhood and the shame often associated with executive dysfunction. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies to help you regain control, build self-esteem, and find balance in your daily life. I’m here to help you make sense of what you’re going through and find a way forward that feels realistic, supportive, and actually doable for you.
During our first session, my priority is creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard. We will discuss what’s currently feeling heaviest for you—whether it’s parenting stress, neurodivergent related overwhelm, or life transitions—and identify your goals for therapy. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how we’ll work together and a sense of relief knowing there is a roadmap for your progress.
My greatest strength is creating a space where people feel comfortable being themselves without judgment. I take a flexible, real-life approach and adapt to what actually works for each person, rather than forcing a rigid structure. Clients don’t have to mask or show up a certain way—I meet them where they are, whether they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start. I’m especially strong at breaking things down into manageable, realistic steps so therapy feels doable, not overwhelming. I also focus on helping people recognize their strengths, even when they don’t see them yet, so they can build confidence, feel understood, and make meaningful progress in their everyday lives.”
I work best with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like nothing has really worked the way it’s supposed to—especially those with ADHD, moms, or anyone going through life transitions. A lot of the people I work with are used to feeling like they’re falling behind or doing something wrong. I also work with teens and adults who just need a space where they don’t have to mask or have it all together. Whether it’s identity, relationships, parenting, or everyday stress, we focus on what actually works in your real life—not just in theory. I take a flexible, down-to-earth approach and meet you where you are.”
Gender-affirming therapy
I provide gender-affirming therapy in a way that feels safe, real, and nonjudgmental. You don’t have to explain or defend who you are here. Whether you’re exploring your identity, figuring things out, or just need a space where you can fully be yourself, we go at your pace. I focus on creating a supportive environment where you feel understood and respected, while also helping you navigate whatever challenges or questions come up in a way that actually fits your life.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
use a person-centered approach, which means I focus on creating a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and not judged. I don’t force a strict structure or expect you to show up a certain way—we go at your pace and focus on what actually feels important to you. Whether that means talking things through, moving around, or just showing up as you are that day, that’s okay. My goal is to build real trust so you can be yourself and work through things in a way that actually fits you.”
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I approach therapy with cultural sensitivity by understanding that your background, identity, and experiences matter—and I don’t assume I know what that looks like for you. I take time to listen, learn, and meet you where you are. You don’t have to explain or justify who you are here. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe being your full self, and where we can work in a way that actually fits your life, your values, and your reality.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness in a very real, practical way—not in a forced or overly structured way. It’s about helping you notice what’s going on in your mind and body without getting overwhelmed by it. This might look like simple grounding strategies, pausing in the moment, or finding ways to slow things down when everything feels like too much. We figure out what actually works for you, whether that’s traditional techniques or something more flexible that fits your day-to-day life.
Strength-Based
I use a strengths-based approach, which means we focus on what’s actually working—not just what’s hard. A lot of people I work with are used to being told what they’re doing wrong or feeling like they’re not doing enough. We look at your strengths, even the ones you might not see yet, and build from there. This helps things feel more doable and less overwhelming, while still working toward real change that fits your life.
