New to Grow
I offer a space where your pain can soften, your story can unfold gently, and you can be met with warmth and compassion without judgment. I draw from CBT, TF-CBT, MI, mindfulness, and person-centered, holistic practices — not as rigid techniques, but as tools we weave into the moments when you need grounding, clarity, or a way to steady yourself. Over time, your voice gets stronger. Your patterns make more sense. And the parts of you that learned to survive begin to feel safe enough to soften.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session is a space for us to get to know each other. Yes, I said us, meaning I will get to know about you and what support you are looking for, and you will get to know me. I think it is important for me to get to know my clients and for my clients to get to know me, so they can make an informed decision if my type of therapy and personality are a good fit for them, and so I can determine if the therapy and style you are looking for is something I can provide.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I support individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and communication issues, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. I help clients build meaningful coping skills and offer a steady, compassionate space to explore, process, and understand difficult emotions and the complex, often overwhelming situations that shape their lives.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My approach is compassionate, empowering, and rooted in genuine connection. We move at a pace that feels right for you, exploring anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship struggles with care and intention. I work with adults, teens, and couples, walking beside you as you rediscover your strength and return to yourself with greater clarity, grounding, and a renewed sense of hope.
