New to Grow
I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist who specializes in working with children, families, and young adults to support emotional, behavioral, and social development. I provide a safe, supportive, and engaging space where clients can express themselves, build confidence, and develop healthy ways to manage their emotions. Using a blend of evidence-based approaches, I partner with families to help clients strengthen relationships, build coping skills, and thrive at home, in school, and within their communities.
In the first session, the focus is on building rapport and creating a safe, comfortable environment. This session is gentle and engaging, helping you feel at ease as we begin to establish trust and set the foundation for future work together.
My ability to provide unconditional positive regard, ensuring that every client feels accepted, valued, and understood without judgment. I genuinely have a passion for helping others, and I strive to create a supportive space where you feel safe to be yourself and work toward meaningful growth.
I’m best positioned to support children (e.g., 6-17) and young adults (e.g., 18-21) who may be struggling with emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, trauma-related responses, or difficulties with self-esteem and social skills. I work well with children who need a safe, consistent space to express themselves while building coping strategies, improving communication, and developing healthier ways to manage big emotions. I’m especially effective with children and families who are open to growth, willing to engage in the therapeutic process, and focused on goals such as increasing emotional awareness, strengthening relationships, and creating stability across home, school, and community settings.
