New to Grow
I believe meaningful change happens when people feel heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with principles of positive psychology to help clients better understand their thoughts, build resilience, and create lasting, meaningful change. I work collaboratively with clients to identify strengths, overcome challenges, and develop healthy coping strategies that support emotional well-being and personal growth. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, or simply striving for a more fulfilling life, I provide a compassionate, goal-oriented space where you can move forward with confidence. Outside of my practice, I value living an active lifestyle and understand the important connection between physical and mental well-being. I enjoy staying active and believe that movement, balance, and self-care are important components of overall health. My goal is to help clients develop practical skills that empower them to thrive not just cope in their everyday lives.
In the first session, we will get to know each other and get an understanding from assessments of how I can support you on your therapeutic journey.
In session, I will be able to hold space, actively listening to what is going on for my clients and challenging my clients to understand their why.
I provide individual therapy using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Positive Psychology to help clients develop practical coping skills, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns, strengthening personal strengths, fostering emotional well-being, and supporting clients in achieving their goals. I work collaboratively with clients to promote self-awareness, confidence, and healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and responding to life's challenges.
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Using CBT will help clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The idea is that the way we interpret situations can influence how we feel and what we do. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them against evidence, people can develop more balanced perspectives and healthier coping strategies.
Positive Psychology
This approach focuses not only on reducing problems like anxiety, depression, or stress, but also on building the strengths and skills that help people lead meaningful, satisfying lives. In therapy, it complements traditional approaches by exploring what's going well, identifying personal strengths, fostering resilience, and supporting positive emotions and healthy relationships.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed care is an approach to therapy that recognizes how past traumatic experiences can affect a person's thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and physical health. Diving deeper into how things may be affecting client's day to day more than just what is wrong.
