New to Grow
As a woman of color and Army combat veteran, I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help. I know from personal experience that seeking support can feel vulnerable, and at the same time, it can be one of the most supportive and life-giving steps a person can take. As a clinician, I prioritize my own wellness and healing because I believe it helps me remain present, grounded, and effective in holding space for my clients. It is an honor to be invited into someone’s healing and growth journey, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy watching football (go Chiefs), attending festivals, and engaging in arts, crafts, and DIY projects. I also enjoy trying new food spots and taking time to rest and recharge. I view my work as a calling rather than just a job, and I am deeply grateful to do what I love.
Our first session will focus on getting to know you and understanding how life has been feeling for you lately. I’ll ask questions about your day-to-day experiences so I can better understand your story. I also want you to feel comfortable sharing openly, and I will remind you that your voice and feedback are an important part of our work together. We will also go over and complete any required intake paperwork, and I will take time to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Most importantly, we will begin to identify your goals for therapy so we can work together in a clear and meaningful direction.
When working with clients, I pay close attention to moments when someone may feel unsure, uncomfortable, or hesitant to share more. I listen not only to their words, but also to what may be shown through tone of voice, body language, and emotions that are not spoken directly. This helps me better understand their full experience and support them more effectively. Many clients leave sessions feeling truly seen, heard, and understood.
Each client experience is unique, and it’s powerful to witness the moment they begin believing in themselves again. Creating a space where clients feel heard, supported, and valued takes intentional communication, active listening, and openness to feedback. Asking meaningful questions and remaining curious about their experience helps build trust, strengthen connection, and support growth in a way that feels personal and empowering. Active listening and reflective feedback are widely recognized as essential for building understanding, trust, and effective communication in client-centered spaces.
Other specialties
I identify as
Mind-body approach
I use a mind-body approach when working with clients, believing that healing and growth begin with building a deeper connection with oneself. I strive to create a supportive space that encourages intentional self-exploration through grace, self-compassion, and curiosity. Together, we explore personal values, emotional awareness, and practical ways to nurture and honor one’s truest self. My approach supports clients in developing greater balance, resilience, and authenticity as they navigate life’s challenges and personal growth journey.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
My therapeutic style integrates principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), supporting clients in increasing self-awareness, identifying personal values, and learning how to align daily behaviors with the life they desire to live. I believe it is important to approach growth with grace, self-compassion, and intentionality. Together, we explore emotional patterns, thought processes, and behaviors while creating space for acceptance, mindfulness, and meaningful change. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, empowered, and confident in the choices they make as they nurture and honor their truest self.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides greater awareness of how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and influence daily life. Together, we explore limiting beliefs, negative self-talk, patterns of overthinking, and areas where clients feel stuck, with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment. A key part of our work together involves identifying where these thought patterns started and how they may no longer support growth. From there, we focus on changing the highways in which our thoughts travel and updating these cognitive frameworks in ways that align more closely with the person they are becoming and the life they want to create.
Couples Counseling
Many individuals were not taught how to be in harmonious partnership, and as a result, conflict responses can often stem from survival-based patterns rather than connection. In our work together, we explore how to gently shift out of these reactive cycles and into more intentional, regulated ways of relating. The goal is to reduce reactivity, increase awareness, and help partners reconnect with the foundation of why they chose each other—supporting a more compassionate, secure, and meaningful partnership. In session, we focus on strengthening communication, deepening intimacy, and building effective conflict resolution skills, while also fostering mutual support, understanding, and emotional safety.
Christian Counseling
When appropriate, I integrate spiritual and faith-based perspectives alongside clinical approaches to support the client’s goals in a way that aligns with their values, beliefs, and overall sense of meaning. My intention is to provide a respectful, collaborative space where clients feel comfortable bringing their whole selves—including their spirituality—into the therapeutic process.
