New to Grow
My therapy journey began with a curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life’s challenges. Working with trauma survivors showed me the power of therapy in healing. I’m driven by the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and lasting change. I strive to offer a holistic approach to healing and enjoy working from a person-centered orientation because I believe that every client is unique and deserves counseling tailored to their individual needs.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It’s normal to feel nervous; therapy is a process we’ll build together over time. We’ll move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you throughout.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I see therapy as a collaborative relationship. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you—whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Struggling with anxious thoughts or self-doubt? I work with adults of all ages navigating anxiety, life transitions, depression, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. Together, we’ll build coping skills and create a personalized growth plan that feels empowering and achievable.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to improve how you feel and function.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is helpful to overcome strong emotions and impulses. The use of mindfulness, distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills will increase your ability to handle your daily struggles more effectively.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Learning how to stay in the present moment is crucial to be able to show up in your life and with your loved ones.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I utilize cognitive defusion techniques to help you create distance from unhelpful thoughts by changing your relationship with them, treating them just as words or mental events rather that absolute truths.
EMDR
I utilize coping skills from EMDR to help with grounding and self-soothing to manage intense emotions. These skills build emotional resilience by strengthening your internal resources and creating a sense of calm.
