New to Grow
As a therapist, I am committed to guiding you toward meaningful change and lasting healing. I strive to create a space grounded in empathy and compassion where you feel seen, supported, and understood. I serve adult clients with a broad range of life experiences and challenges and specialize in depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, mental health during pregnancy and postpartum, trauma, and substance use challenges. For all of my clients, I tailor my approach to honor your unique experiences and strengths. I draw from a range of evidence-based practices and use a strength-based approach to support your growth and healing. My method is both structured and supportive, helping you build practical skills, process difficult experiences, and deepen your self-awareness. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more balanced, resilient, and confident as you move forward.
During our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other. I will ask you what led you to seek therapy at this time and ask you questions to get a brief history and understanding of your life. We will discuss your goals for therapy and talk about how we can work together to help you move forward in your life.
I am passionate about helping my clients learn skills and work through their challenges to create healing, change and growth.
I support clients experiencing a broad array of challenges. My clients often come in wanting relief from distress, but also a deeper understanding of themselves and their patterns. I tend to work best with people who are open to both practical skill-building and deeper emotional processing. Whether you’re looking to manage day-to-day stress more effectively, heal from past experiences, learn coping skills for your mental health, or feel more grounded and confident in your life, we’ll work together toward meaningful and lasting change.
