New to Grow
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides affirming, trauma-informed and trauma-focused therapy for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, and religious trauma. In addition to my LCSW I have a Master of Divinity that I use to help inform my approaches to working with those impacted from religious trauma and/or spiritual harm. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in practical tools that support healing, self-understanding, and meaningful growth. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and empowered to move toward the life they want.
In our first session, we’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, relevant history, and what support would feel most helpful for you right now. I also use this time to answer questions, collaborate on next steps, and create a space that feels safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental.
My greatest strengths are creating a compassionate, collaborative therapeutic space while integrating evidence-based approaches that help clients build insight, practical coping skills, and lasting emotional growth.
I am best positioned to serve adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity exploration, chronic stress, suicidality, and the impacts of religious trauma or spiritually harmful experiences. I work especially well with clients seeking a collaborative, affirming, and insight-oriented therapeutic relationship that integrates practical coping skills with deeper healing, self-understanding, and values-based growth. I also enjoy supporting helping professionals, LGBTQIA+ clients, and neurodivergence individuals.
