New to Grow
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Life Coach who specializes in working with adults navigating dating, relationships, and family dynamics. I help individuals build healthy, fulfilling romantic relationships while developing a stronger sense of self, confidence, and emotional clarity. I also support clients in healing from childhood trauma and working through family relationships, as well as managing anxiety and depression, with the goal of helping them feel relief from symptoms and experience more happiness and balance in their lives. My work is focused on helping you show up more authentically and securely in your relationships, with others and with yourself.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, we’ll spend time talking about what brought you to therapy, what you’re currently struggling with, and what you’d like to work toward. We’ll explore past and present habits, patterns, and relationships, as well as the changes you hope to make. This session is collaborative and focused on creating a treatment plan tailored to your therapeutic goals and mental health needs. You’re always welcome to ask questions. This is your space and it’s important to me that you feel comfortable and supported from the start.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach is warm, compassionate, and highly personalized. I believe effective therapy, especially around dating, romantic relationships, and family relationships, must be tailored to each individual’s experiences, attachment style, and goals. I combine empathy with honest, direct feedback to help you gain insight, develop healthier patterns, and move forward with confidence. I value collaboration and welcome feedback throughout our work together. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where you can openly explore your experiences and emotions. I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you work toward healthier relationships, relief from anxiety and depression, and a more fulfilling life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in working with adults who are dating, exploring romantic relationships, or wanting to build healthier relationship patterns. Many of my clients feel stuck in cycles of unhealthy relationships, struggle with communication, or experience anxiety around dating, attachment, or emotional intimacy. I also work with adults who have experienced childhood trauma and are ready to heal from past wounds that may be impacting their romantic and family relationships. I support individuals who struggle with anxiety and depression and want practical tools and emotional support to feel relief and regain a sense of stability and confidence. I enjoy working with young adults navigating dating and early adulthood, as well as adults in their 40s and 50s who are seeking more fulfilling, connected relationships.
Psychodynamic
I take a psychodynamic approach to better understand the client's learned experiences and how it is effecting their current life circumstances.
Attachment-based
I take an attachment based approach to guide clients in resolving issues in their interpersonal and romantic relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients challenge and restructure their negative automatic thoughts that could be leading to feelings of anxiety or depression.
