I am a Marine Corps Veteran, Army wife, a mother, and a former educator. I want to make it clear that I may not be the right therapist for everyone, and neither do I strive to be. I focus on finding solutions that work for you. I am not a "how do you feel about that" therapist. I am a reality therapist who can provide long-term help for various mental health issues. I am a faith-based therapist who believes in God, but ultimately, my passion lies in helping people, regardless of their beliefs. I am dedicated to helping others reach their full potential, regardless of their beliefs. I am a former school therapist, and for the last 6 years, I've been working with adults (basically, after my cohort of students graduated, about 60% wanted to keep me as a therapist, and I started working with both teens and adults). I am the therapist who will be invested in your change; I will not always agree with you, I will challenge you, I will always be honest with you, and I will always have your best interest at heart. Your change is my priority!

Listening to others' stories and supporting them in finding positive paths through challenges has always felt like a natural calling. Even as a child, friends would often reach out, and my mom would joke, "Is the doctor in?" Later on, this passion led to volunteering with kids in creative programs and working in hospice care, where deeper connections were formed. These experiences led to a rewarding role at an outpatient community clinic, where people from all walks of life could share their unique journeys and struggles. My work with clients have included helping those navigate stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. The ideal clients are those who are open to exploring interventions and truly wish to understand themselves more deeply. Therapy is not about achieving perfection but rather finding new perspectives on who we are and how we engage with the world around us. Healing and personal growth rarely follow a straight path, and it's the patience and willingness to try that often make the difference in finding the right way forward.

Before that, I received a Master’s degree in lifespan Developmental Psychology from Johns Hopkins University. I also have a graduate background in the Fine Arts and Biology.

Hi, I'm Gabriella, I have been a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) since 2013, but I have been in the mental health field since 2006. We all know that in recent years, specifically starting in 2020, our life as we knew it drastically changed. Our relationships with our family, friends, coworkers and even ourselves appeared to stall indefinitely. We had to learn to maneuver in different ways to try and have a sense of "normalcy." But as we tried to navigate this new way of life, our mental health has suffered. We have noticed that depression, anxiety, and relationship/interpersonal issues have been rising because we have isolated ourselves for so long. As people, we are social beings and tend to gravitate towards social situations. Within the last year, rules and mandates have eased, and we are resuming to our "new normal," and maybe we are feeling hesitant and vulnerable to step out. Reaching out for help is very difficult but the most rewarding decisions you make. We can work together to make step by step goals so you can achieve your success.

Hi, I’m Jennifer! Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me and my approach to therapy. I know choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision, and I’m honored that you’re here. If you’ve found your way to my page, perhaps something in your life is asking for your attention—a desire to heal, grow, understand yourself more deeply, or find greater meaning and direction. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to have it all figured out. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, self-worth struggles, grief, life transitions, caregiving, or simply a sense that something feels missing or no longer fits. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have spent years taking care of others and doing what is expected of them, but have reached a point where they want greater self-understanding, fulfillment, connection, and authenticity. My style is warm, compassionate, honest, and deeply engaged. I don’t believe in simply sitting back and listening while you do all the work. I’m curious, attentive, and actively involved in our conversations. I’ll ask questions, offer observations, gently challenge you when I think it could help, and sometimes be direct—but always with empathy and respect. I’m not the therapist who will tell you what you should do or try to force you to change. I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to help you understand yourself more deeply, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and learn to trust your own inner wisdom and intuition. Together, we’ll create a collaborative space for healing, growth, and self-discovery, helping you develop greater clarity, confidence, and connection so you can create a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and truly your own.

Welcome! My name is Christian; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has spent over the last 9 years assisting individuals negotiate through some of life's hardest challenges - anxiety, depression, OCD, mood disorders, grief, life transitions, and other life circumstances - through approaches of compassion, sensible support, and insight. I have worked across multiple settings, including outpatient treatment, community programs, residential treatment, employee assistance programs, and other acute settings. I believe there is no universal method for therapy because each of us has a unique journey in life. Therapy works best when the conversation feels authentic, along with following a clinical approach that is clearly defined and best fits YOU. Outside of work, I enjoy music, hiking, kayaking, and board games.

Are you looking to improve your communication, strengthen your relationships, and manage conflict more effectively? Interpersonal skills are the foundation of healthy and thriving relationships—both personal and professional. If you are recovering from an emotionally abusive or narcissistic relationship and feel disconnected from yourself, therapy can also help you rebuild your identity, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and develop healthier relationship patterns. I am a relationship counselor, currently providing individual and group therapy for adults aged 18 and older. I specialize in helping clients improve their relationship with themselves through personal growth and the development of healthier interpersonal skills, including communication, conflict resolution, anger management, boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills. Many individuals struggling in unhealthy, emotionally abusive, or narcissistic relationship dynamics often lose their sense of self, confidence, voice, and emotional balance within those relationships. A major focus of my work is helping clients reconnect with themselves, rebuild healthier patterns, and strengthen how they show up in relationships with others. How you relate to yourself impacts every relationship in your life. When you learn to communicate effectively, set healthy boundaries, manage emotions, and navigate challenges in healthier ways, your relationships often become stronger, more balanced, and more fulfilling. This growth can improve confidence, reduce stress, and support overall emotional wellness. I provide a supportive environment where clients can increase self-awareness, create meaningful change, and develop healthier connections with themselves and others. Schedule an appointment with me to begin your wellness journey.

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.
