New to Grow
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than five years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also gaining practical tools to create meaningful change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs, integrating psychodynamic therapy with CBT, DBT, attachment-based, interpersonal, and person-centered approaches. Together, we'll explore both current challenges and the deeper patterns that may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, and relationships so you can move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and self-understanding.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other in a supportive, judgment-free environment. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, the challenges you're currently facing, your personal history, and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to better understand your experiences while giving you the space to share at your own pace. Together, we'll begin identifying patterns that may be contributing to your concerns and discuss an initial treatment plan tailored to your goals. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer sense of how we can work together moving forward.
Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, thoughtful, and easy to talk to while also being honest and goal-oriented. I believe lasting change comes from balancing compassion with practical strategies and meaningful self-reflection. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I tailor each session to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I help clients better understand recurring patterns, develop healthier ways of coping with difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and build confidence in handling life's challenges. My focus is on creating a safe, collaborative space where you feel supported while making steady, meaningful progress.
I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, or persistent patterns that leave them feeling stuck. My ideal clients are looking for more than symptom relief—they want to better understand themselves, build healthier coping strategies, improve relationships, and create lasting change. Whether you're seeking therapy for the first time or returning after previous treatment, I provide a supportive, collaborative space where we can work together at a pace that feels right while focusing on meaningful, practical progress.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps us identify the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical strategies to respond in healthier, more balanced ways. The goal is to help you feel more confident managing challenges both during and outside of therapy.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT teaches practical skills to better manage overwhelming emotions, cope with stress, improve relationships, and respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively. I incorporate these skills into therapy based on your individual needs, helping you build emotional resilience while creating lasting change.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I recognize that every person's background, culture, identity, beliefs, and life experiences shape how they see themselves and the world. My goal is to provide a respectful, inclusive space where you feel understood without assumptions or judgment. Together, we'll consider how these experiences influence your mental health and tailor therapy to what matters most to you.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I use trauma-focused CBT to help clients understand how traumatic experiences may affect their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and sense of safety. We work gradually to build coping skills, reduce distress, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy helps us understand how past experiences and long-standing patterns may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and reactions today. Together, we'll explore these patterns with curiosity and insight so you can better understand yourself, make more intentional choices, and create lasting change rather than simply managing symptoms.
