New to Grow
I’ve been working with individuals for nearly 20 years, and if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s this: none of us are meant to do this alone. Sitting one-on-one with someone as they untangle their story is work I don’t take lightly. It’s an honor. Over the years, I’ve supported people through burnout, transitions, grief, relationship shifts, identity questions, and those quieter seasons where you just know something needs to change, even if you can’t name it yet. I also have advanced training in trauma and ADHD, which means I understand how deeply our nervous systems, past experiences, and unique wiring shape the way we move through the world. Whether you’re navigating the impact of trauma or trying to make sense of an ADHD brain in a world that doesn’t always accommodate it, we’ll approach your work with both compassion and practical insight. Individual therapy is powerful. There is something sacred about having a space that is entirely yours — where you don’t have to perform, hold it together, or take care of anyone else. I also believe people need people and that is why I lead women's groups and retreats as well. At the heart of my work is the belief that we’re all just trying to get home — home to ourselves. Home to steadiness, clarity, belonging, and alignment. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with that place inside you that already knows the way.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I generally let you take the lead. You might come in with something very specific — something urgent, raw, or weighing heavily on you — and we’ll go straight to the heart of what brought you here. Or it might feel more like a long, winding, getting-to-know-you conversation. We may explore your history, your patterns, what’s working, what’s not, and what you’re hoping could feel different. By the end, my hope is that we’ve started to shape a clear and thoughtful plan for what working together could look like. Either way, you can expect presence and connection. This isn’t a cold intake interview. It’s a real conversation. There will likely be depth. There may be laughter. And yes, possibly an F word or two — because sometimes that’s the most honest language we’ve got. Most importantly, you’ll leave with a sense of whether this feels like the right fit. Therapy works best when there’s trust and resonance, and that starts from the very first session.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Many of my clients stay with me for a long time — and when they don’t, it’s often because they’ve grown in the ways they hoped to. What stands out most is the kind of relationship we build. Clients often tell me they feel safe with me. Warmly held. Not judged. Not analyzed from a distance. Just genuinely understood. I tend to form long-term therapeutic relationships where you’re supported as you grow, stretch, and eventually launch. And if life brings you back — a new season, a new challenge, a deeper layer — you can return without shame or explanation. The door stays open. You’ll get to know me as a real person, not just a therapist behind a clipboard. I’m human in the room with you. Thoughtful. Direct when needed. Compassionate always. Therapy with me isn’t transactional. It’s relational.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who have been shaped by relational wounds — the kind that don’t always look dramatic on the outside, but run deep on the inside. You may have spent years trying to earn your place in the world through achievement, caretaking, perfectionism, or staying small. Maybe through people-pleasing. Maybe perfectionism. Maybe disappearing into achievement, caretaking, substances, or escape. Maybe you’ve even wrestled with thoughts of not wanting to be here at all. None of that makes you broken. It makes sense in context. Many of the clients I work with are also navigating ADHD — often late-diagnosed — and are reprocessing their entire life through a new lens. The shame. The masking. The feeling of being “too much” or “not enough.” The exhaustion of trying to keep up in systems that weren’t built for your brain. When ADHD intersects with relational wounds, it can amplify self-doubt and survival strategies in ways that feel confusing and lonely. I’m especially drawn to clients who are curious about themselves. The ones willing to ask hard questions. The ones who don’t just want to manage symptoms, but want to understand their patterns and shift them at the root. This work requires courage. If you’re ready to go deeper — not perfectly, but honestly — we’ll likely work very well together.
Humanistic
Humanistic therapy shapes everything I do. I see you as a human first — not a diagnosis, not a checklist, not a set of symptoms. I care deeply about building a relationship where you feel seen, heard, and respected. I won’t sit back and repeat scripted questions. I’m engaged, curious, and present. I’ll gently challenge you when it’s helpful, sit with you when things are hard, and celebrate the moments when things start to click. I believe growth happens when we feel safe enough to be honest. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner steadiness — that place of peace, joy, and alignment that can get buried under stress, burnout, expectations, or old wounds. This work isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about coming home to yourself.
