Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Your first session with me typically lasts about 60 minutes, sometimes a bit longer if needed, just enough for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what’s been going on in your life, your goals, and any concerns you may have. By the end of the session, we’ll work together to develop a treatment plan that feels right for you—whether that includes medication, therapy, or both. If you prefer therapy only, that’s absolutely OK, and Grow can help connect you with a great therapist to support your journey

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a provider is that I bring not only clinical experience, but deep personal understanding to the work I do. Having grown up with a mother who lived with undiagnosed bipolar disorder for decades, and having faced the physical and emotional challenges of being super morbidly obese—losing over 300 pounds myself—I understand how complex and overwhelming mental health struggles can be. I never forget my humanity in this work. My goal is simple: to meet you where you are and help you feel better, with care that’s both grounded and genuinely compassionate

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with adults 18 and over who are facing challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, or burnout. Many of my clients are high-functioning but struggling silently—feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves and others. Whether you're navigating a life transition or dealing with long-standing mental health concerns, I offer support that's grounded, practical, and compassionate
