With over 19 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to empowering individuals to navigate life's challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, medical issues, and infertility. My personal and professional experiences have shaped my deep empathy, understanding, and ability to relate to others. I began my career working with children in the child welfare system, supporting those who had experienced trauma. Since then, I have worked extensively with a wide range of trauma survivors, including those affected by sexual abuse, child abuse, and domestic violence. I am passionate about helping individuals find healing and peace with their past experiences. Throughout my career, I have also worked with individuals struggling to find motivation or direction in their lives. Whether supporting a young adult unsure of their next steps, an individual coping with depression or grief, or someone with anxiety hesitant to make changes, I am dedicated to helping clients take meaningful steps toward progress and growth. Additionally, my experience includes counseling individuals facing the emotional impact of chronic medical conditions. As a cancer survivor, I have a unique understanding of the challenges associated with medical concerns, chronic pain, and infertility, and I am committed to helping others navigate these experiences with resilience. Cultural competence is central to my practice. Having traveled extensively and lived in diverse parts of the world, I bring a deep appreciation for working with individuals from various cultural backgrounds and life experiences. Beginning counseling can feel daunting, and I strive to create a comfortable, supportive environment for each client. My approach is warm, patient, and client-centered, allowing clients to identify their own goals while I offer guidance. Additionally, I am insight-oriented and logical, often helping clients develop new perspectives and understandings of their situations. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support your journey toward healing and growth.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by state rather than a city?

Why filter by state rather than a city? When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across the entire state. If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near your address.

Will my therapist take Optum?

Yes! If you use Optum you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Optum you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
