New to Grow
I’m a therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and emotional challenges that feel hard to understand or manage alone. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected internally. My approach combines practical tools with deeper emotional work. I draw from AEDP, CBT, DBT, and somatic techniques to help clients not only cope with symptoms, but also understand themselves on a deeper level and create meaningful, lasting change. I aim to provide a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to explore your experiences at your own pace. Together, we work toward helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected in your daily life and relationships.
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to understand your current challenges, background, and goals, while also giving you space to share at your own pace. We’ll begin identifying patterns and areas to focus on, and I’ll share how I work so you know what to expect moving forward. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer sense of direction.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel comfortable being open and honest. I balance emotional depth with structure, helping clients explore underlying feelings while also offering practical tools they can use in daily life. I’m especially attuned to patterns beneath the surface and work collaboratively with clients to build insight, emotional awareness, and lasting change. My integrative approach allows me to adapt to each client’s needs, whether they benefit most from skill-building, deeper processing, or both.
I work best with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and past or present emotional challenges. Many of my clients are high-functioning but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. I support individuals who are open to both practical tools and deeper emotional work, and who want to better understand their patterns, build self-awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
I use Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) to help clients safely experience and process emotions at a deeper level. This approach focuses on building a strong, supportive relationship so clients can move through stuck patterns and feel more connected, resilient, and grounded.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that impact emotions and behaviors. It’s a structured, practical approach that provides tools to manage anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I incorporate DBT skills to support clients in managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and building distress tolerance. This approach is especially helpful for developing coping strategies and emotional regulation in difficult moments.
Somatic
I use somatic techniques to help clients tune into their body and nervous system, especially when stress or trauma feels overwhelming. This approach supports grounding, regulation, and a greater sense of safety within the body.
