New to Grow
Life can feel overwhelming at times — whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship stress, or a major life transition. I work with adults who want a supportive space to sort through what’s going on and learn practical tools to feel more steady and confident. My approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy with a person-centered style, meaning we focus on both real-life strategies and creating a space where you feel genuinely heard.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is an opportunity to begin building rapport and understanding what’s bringing you to therapy. I’ll ask questions about your current concerns, relevant history, and what you hope will feel different moving forward. Together, we’ll identify clear, manageable goals and develop a treatment plan that feels collaborative and supportive. You’re always welcome to move at a pace that feels comfortable.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My strengths include creating a steady, non-judgmental space while also helping clients identify patterns and build practical tools for change. I strive to balance warmth with structure — offering genuine support alongside clear, manageable steps forward.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I'm especially well-suited to work with adults who want therapy to feel approachable and real. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship strain, or a major life transition, I aim to offer a space where you feel heard and supported — while also working toward meaningful, manageable change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps us look at the patterns between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. Sometimes our brains develop habits of thinking that aren’t fully accurate or helpful — especially under stress. In CBT, we learn to identify those patterns, test them, and replace them with more balanced and realistic thoughts. As thinking shifts, emotions and behaviors tend to shift too.
Attachment-based
Attachment therapy looks at how your nervous system learned what to expect from relationships. Early experiences — especially with caregivers — teach us whether closeness feels safe, unpredictable, overwhelming, or unavailable. Those patterns often show up in adult relationships. In therapy, we gently explore those patterns and create new relational experiences that feel more secure.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is designed for people whose emotions feel intense or overwhelming. It teaches concrete skills in four areas: managing emotions, tolerating distress, improving relationships, and staying present. The goal isn’t to eliminate emotions — it’s to respond to them more effectively.
Compassion Focused
CFT is based on the idea that many people struggle not because they’re weak, but because their inner critic is very strong. This approach helps you understand where that critical voice developed and teaches you how to build a more compassionate inner voice instead.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
In person-centered therapy, I’m not here to fix you or tell you who you should be. I’m here to understand your experience deeply and help you explore it in a way that feels safe and non-judgmental. When people feel genuinely understood, change often happens naturally.
