New to Grow
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor who works with women, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, life transitions, and the emotional challenges that come with trying to hold everything together. Many of my clients are the people others rely on. They're hardworking, responsible, and often look like they're doing just fine from the outside. Internally, though, they may be struggling with overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, relationship challenges, or the weight of past experiences that still show up in their everyday lives. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe healing happens when you feel both supported and challenged. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns that keep showing up, build tools that actually fit your life, and help you move toward the version of yourself you want to become. For those who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling and faith-based integration as part of the therapeutic process.
The first session is really about getting to know you. I'll ask questions about what brings you to therapy, what's been weighing on you, and what you're hoping will be different as a result of our work together. You don't need to have everything figured out before you start. You don't need the perfect words, and you don't have to share your entire life story in one session. We'll move at a pace that feels comfortable while beginning to identify the patterns, challenges, and strengths that are shaping your experience. Most importantly, my goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful that change is possible.
One of my greatest strengths is helping people connect the dots between their past experiences and the struggles they're facing today without getting stuck living in the past. I'm able to hold space for difficult emotions and hard stories while also helping clients create meaningful movement forward. My clients often tell me they appreciate that I'm compassionate but direct. I won't just sit and nod. I'll help you understand what's happening, challenge patterns that are no longer serving you, and develop practical tools you can use outside of session. As a wife, mother, and entrepreneur, I also understand the realities of balancing relationships, responsibilities, personal growth, and healing all at the same time. I strive to make therapy feel relevant to real life, not just something that happens for an hour each week.
I work with women, adolescents, and young adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally struggling with overthinking, self-doubt, and difficulty managing stress. I also work with clients who are carrying the weight of past experiences or childhood trauma that still shows up in their present life. This can look like people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, emotional shutdown, anxiety, or feeling like you keep repeating the same patterns in relationships. I have a special focus on perinatal and postpartum mental health, supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum changes, and the emotional shifts that come with motherhood. I also support adolescents navigating anxiety, identity development, peer challenges, and emotional regulation. My clients are often at a point where they’re ready to understand themselves on a deeper level, break old patterns, and start showing up differently in their lives and relationships. Clients come to therapy wanting to feel more in control of their emotions, build confidence, set boundaries without guilt, and finally feel more grounded and secure in who they are. For those who are seeking it, I also offer Christian and faith-based therapy, integrating spiritual support into the healing process in a way that feels natural and aligned.
Other specialties
I identify as
Trauma Informed Care
I approach therapy through a trauma-informed lens that prioritizes safety, empowerment, and nervous system awareness. We move at a pace that respects personal history while strengthening resilience and restoring a sense of stability and control.
Attachment-based
I use Attachment-focused work to help explore how early relationship experiences influence current patterns in intimacy, trust, and self-worth. This works helps build more secure, stable and fulfilling connections.
Faith based therapy
I offer the option to include faith into our work together, including Christian based perspectives when desired. Spiritual beliefs are explored in non-imposing way that supports emotional healing and personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, and low mood. Together we challenge distorted thinking, build healthier perspectives, and develop strategies that create real change.
