New to Grow
Welcome — this can be a safe space for you. With a background in education and current experience as a high school counselor, I understand the challenges individuals and families can face through different stages of life. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, processing difficult emotions, and building healthy coping skills. Whether you are navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, or the pressures of academics and sports, my goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout the counseling process.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my hope is that our first session helps you feel more at ease. We'll spend time getting to know one another, exploring what's been going on in your life, and talking about what led you to reach out for support. There's no expectation to share everything right away—we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. By the end of our first session, I want you to feel heard, to have a better understanding of what therapy with me looks like, and to have hope for what's ahead. From there, we'll work together to create a path forward that reflects your unique needs, values, and strengths.
I use a strengths-based and mindfulness-centered approach to therapy, helping clients recognize their abilities while developing healthy coping skills and greater self-awareness. My style is supportive, collaborative, and compassionate—and let's be real, I'm human too. I believe therapy works best when you can show up as your authentic self, without fear of judgment. I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. My goal is to build a relationship where, over time, our conversations feel natural and comfortable—like talking with someone you know and trust—while still providing the professional guidance and support needed to help you reach your goals. Together, we'll work at your pace to navigate life's challenges, celebrate progress, and build lasting resilience.
