New to Grow
I’m a mental health therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I create a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are—no pressure to have it all figured out. I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly clinical; it can be a place where you feel understood, challenged in helpful ways, and even share a laugh as you work toward feeling more balanced, confident, and in control of your life.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Starting therapy can feel a little intimidating, so my goal in our first session is to help you feel as comfortable as possible. We’ll talk about what’s been going on, what brought you in, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy—no need to have the “perfect” explanation. I’ll guide the conversation with questions, but there’s no pressure to share everything at once. We’ll also start identifying goals and what working together could look like. Think of it as a conversation where you don’t have to filter yourself, and yes, it’s okay if you’re a little nervous.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths is creating a space that feels both supportive and real. I’m not the type to just nod and say “mmhmm”—I’ll gently challenge you, help you connect patterns, and offer practical tools you can actually use outside of sessions. I balance empathy with honesty, and I believe growth can come from both deep reflection and lighter moments. Therapy with me is collaborative, engaging, and focused on helping you make meaningful, lasting changes without feeling overwhelmed.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I integrate CBT by working collaboratively with clients to increase awareness of how their thoughts influence their emotional responses and daily behaviors. I guide clients in reframing negative or intrusive thoughts, building coping strategies, and practicing practical skills they can apply outside of sessions. This often includes identifying triggers, developing problem-solving techniques, and reinforcing positive behavior changes.
