New to Grow
I’m a licensed mental health provider with five years of experience supporting individuals across outpatient, inpatient, hospital, and school settings. This diverse background allows me to understand the full spectrum of mental health needs and to adapt my approach to meet each client exactly where they are. My therapeutic style is direct but gentle. I believe in being honest and clear while still offering compassion, steadiness, and genuine care. Therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’re exploring long‑held patterns or negative core beliefs. My role is to help you navigate that process with support, curiosity, and even moments of humor. I value creating a space where you can show up authentically, feel understood, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
While therapy can be serious work, it doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. I believe in bringing warmth, authenticity, and even fun into the process. Growth often happens when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself, and I aim to create that environment from the very first session. I take a collaborative, client‑centered approach that blends insight, practical tools, and emotional exploration. Together, we’ll work on identifying and challenging the beliefs or patterns that keep you feeling stuck, and we’ll build strategies that support a more grounded, fulfilling quality of life. I adapt each session to your needs, whether you’re looking for structure, exploration, problem‑solving, or simply a safe place to process what’s happening in your world.
I offer therapy that is direct but gentle, blending honesty, compassion, and a touch of humor to make the process feel human and approachable. With experience across outpatient, inpatient, hospital, and school settings, I bring a well‑rounded perspective that helps clients feel understood from every angle. Together, we’ll challenge negative core beliefs, build healthier patterns, and work toward meaningful change, all while meeting you exactly where you are.
I’m best positioned to serve clients navigating anxiety, adjustment disorders, and the stress of major life changes. I work well with people who are solution‑focused, open to honest reflection, and comfortable with therapeutic confrontation when it’s offered with care. My ideal clients want clarity, new perspectives, and practical steps that help them move forward with confidence and improve their overall quality of life.
Other specialties
I identify as
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness‑based therapy to help clients stay present with what they’re feeling in the moment. I gently confront patterns or avoidance while maintaining warmth and safety. By bringing awareness to the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of their emotional experience, clients gain clarity, insight, and the ability to respond rather than react.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and understand how those thoughts shape their emotions and behaviors. Through gentle but direct exploration, we challenge distorted beliefs and replace them with more balanced, realistic perspectives. CBT gives clients practical tools they can use outside of session to reduce anxiety, improve coping, and build confidence in navigating everyday challenges.
