New to Grow
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and certified Sex Therapist who believes every person deserves a space to show up fully — without judgment and without shame. I work with adults navigating the real and often messy parts of life — whether that is anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, or questions around intimacy and identity they have never had a safe space to explore. My goal is simple — I want my clients to leave our work together knowing themselves more deeply, relating to others more authentically, and feeling more capable of the life they truly want.
In our first session you can expect to feel welcomed and at ease — this is a conversation, not an interrogation. I will take time to get to know you as a person, understand what brought you in, and hear what you are hoping to get out of our work together. I will also be transparent about how the process works so you know exactly what to expect going forward. By the time we wrap up my goal is that you leave feeling heard, respected, and hopeful that you have finally found the right space for you.
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to make people feel safe enough to be honest — sometimes for the first time. I have a natural warmth and a relaxed conversational style that puts clients at ease quickly and I think that is what allows the real work to happen. What stands out about my therapeutic approach is that I meet every client as a whole person — I do not just treat symptoms, I try to understand the full picture of who someone is and what they need. The combination of my training as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a certified Sex Therapist also means I can hold space for parts of a person's experience that many therapists are not equipped or comfortable enough to address — and I think that range makes a real difference in the depth of work we are able to do together.
My ideal client is an adult who is ready to do the work — not necessarily someone who has it all figured out, but someone who knows that something needs to change and is willing to show up honestly for that process. I work best with people who are navigating the hard parts of life — relationship challenges, personal growth, emotional patterns that keep showing up, or questions around intimacy and sexuality that they have never had a safe space to explore. My ideal client does not have to be in crisis to seek support — they simply have to be ready to invest in themselves and willing to have real conversations about what is getting in the way of the life and the connections they truly want.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is utilized in my therapy because I believe that the way we think shapes everything — how we feel, how we show up in relationships, and how we see ourselves. Whether I am working with someone on anxiety, depression, or navigating something as personal as intimacy and sexuality, CBT gives us a practical way to get underneath those patterns and start building something healthier in their place.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling is utilized in my practice because I believe that the health of a relationship directly impacts the wellbeing of every person in it. Whether couples are navigating communication breakdowns, rebuilding trust after infidelity, or simply trying to find their way back to each other, I create a space where both people feel heard and where real honest work can happen together.
Sex Therapy
As a certified Sex Therapist, sex therapy is utilized in my practice because I believe that intimacy and sexuality are core parts of who we are and yet they are often the last things people feel safe enough to talk about. I create a judgment free space where individuals and couples can explore concerns around desire, connection, identity, and intimacy openly and without shame — because those conversations deserve the same care and attention as any other part of our wellbeing.
