New to Grow
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist committed to supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. My work is rooted in a collaborative and client-centered approach, where I strive to understand each person’s unique experiences, values, and goals. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary framework to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier perspectives, and implement practical strategies that promote emotional well-being and personal growth.
In the first therapy session, you can expect a supportive, low-pressure environment focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you in. I will typically ask about your current concerns, emotional experiences, and any specific challenges you’re facing, such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or major life changes. This is also a chance for you to share what you hope to gain from therapy, whether that’s coping skills, clarity, or personal growth. My work is goal-oriented and tailored to each client’s unique needs. Together, we will build insight into how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, while also developing effective coping strategies to manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life stress, and major life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about your next steps, I provide a supportive and collaborative space where you can explore your experiences and develop practical tools to move forward. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. Therapy with me is not just about addressing immediate concerns—it’s about helping you build the skills and confidence needed to navigate life with greater ease and self-awareness.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I work collaboratively with clients to challenge and reframe negative thoughts into more balanced, realistic ones. Alongside this, clients practice new behaviors—such as coping skills, problem-solving, or gradual exposure to fears—to create meaningful change in their daily lives.
