New to Grow
I am a licensed clinical mental health therapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. II specialize in providing a supportive, results-driven approach that goes beyond simply talking through problems. Together, we identify patterns, build practical strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen your confidence, and feel more in control of your life, relationships, and emotional well-being.
Your first session with me is a welcoming, judgement-free space where you can begin to feel seen, heard, and understood. We'll start by discussing what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, and what you hope to gain from our work together.
What sets me apart is my ability to blend clinical expertise with real, transformative results. With over 25 years of experience, I don't just listen-I help clients identify patterns, challenge what's' no longer serving them, and create meaningful change. Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to: get to the root of issues, not just surface-level concerns. Provide practical tools they can apply immediately. Create a safe space while still holding them accountable. Balance professionalism with warmth, humor, authenticity, and insight.
I work best with individuals who are ready for real change-even if they're not quite sure where to start. My ideal clients are high-functioning, often carrying a lot on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside. They may be professionals, caregivers, leaders, or an individual that's spent years pouring into others and are now ready to prioritize themselves. I am especially effective with clients who :experience anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm. Are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, or personal loss. Clients who are motivated, reflective, and ready to do the work between sessions.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core component of my clinical approach, drawing on over 25 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's most challenging seasons. In my practice, I tailor CBT to each client's lived experience. I help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, challenge internal narratives that no longer serve them, and replace them with healthier, more empowering beliefs. This process often leads to reduced anxiety, improved mood, better decision-making, and stronger emotional regulation.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person Centered Therapy is rooted in the belief that each person already possesses the capacity for growth and change. My role is not to "fix," but to walk alongside my clients, offering empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard as they navigate their journey. In my practice, this looks like: Creating a warm, supportive environment where clients can speak freely. Listening deeply to both what is said and what may be unspoken. I believe that when people are truly heard and accepted, they begin to heal, grow, and make choices that align with who they are meant to be.
