Do you feel drowned by the downpour of fear, worry, and anxiety? Is it hard to see beyond the dark clouds of depression? Perhaps you feel swept away by the waves of past hurt, regret, and guilt. Or caught up in a cyclone of self-doubt and insecurity. Let me be your companion as we navigate these storms that represent the struggles in life! Through my own experiences, I’ve learned that even in life’s darkest moments, there’s always a glimmer of hope waiting to be discovered. Whether you're seeking support during a difficult time or simply pursuing personal growth, you're not alone. I build each therapeutic relationship on the principles of safety, trust, respect, empathy, and support. I provide trauma-informed care that goes beyond listening; I also provide education, guide you in those deep conversations, and brainstorm solutions with you. One of my strengths is that I see systemic challenges faced by various groups. I take a community-oriented approach to connect you with essential resources so you can focus on your healing journey without worry. My style is unique in that I think creatively and outside-of-the-box.

Welcome to our space! In our time together we will address your concerns, as well as explore and highlight your personal strengths and attributes. I feel this is something we all neglect and these can be very empowering and key to working through our daily stressors. My style as a therapist is eclectic and energetic. Therapy can be a potent experience, but I am here to help accommodate the tears, toil, frustration, humor and other emotions that you cannot or may not wish to share with others. The world, our jobs, finances, and other obstacles are some of the many things that can zap our valuable mental and physical energy in a day. Burnout is more real now than ever before. Coming here is a way to recharge yourself so that you can be more present in the most important areas of your life and enjoy it in the process. We work together to develop skills and outlets in which to manage these stressors. You can become the most positive, healthy version of yourself. I welcome the pleasure of working with people from many different cultures and backgrounds, and I am an avid supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been working 100 percent virtually. This direction in therapy has allowed me to interact with more people that are not within my geographical location. When a person is in an environment where they feel most comfortable, they are better able to express themselves. My source of empowerment comes from my husband and our enjoyment in caring for our animals. We have a good start on a boring zoo.. (dogs, cats, chickens, fish). They are my reason for working from home. For me, being outdoors and caring for animals is very therapeutic as well as rewarding.

The professional stuff first, I’m a licensed clinical social worker licensed to practice mental health diagnosis and treatment in Kentucky, Vermont, and Florida. I have 12+ years of independent practice and gained experience in a variety of settings and across all age groups, eventually honing my skills and training towards my preferred area of practice in the realm of trauma and the resulting disruptions in relationship to self and others. I’m a human being and began my own healing journey in my late teens. A journey to rebuild my relationship with self which involved identifying damaging beliefs and patterns of interacting with myself, my emotions, my humanity, my sexuality, my spirituality, etc., and replacing them with beliefs that support a better relationship with self. I’ve remained committed to healing as a lifelong endeavor of self-evaluation. One in which I’m consistently challenged towards calculated risks, recommitting to guiding principles of self-trust, faith and commitment to my values. I'm a certified partner trauma therapist through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals, a special education that allows me to treat individuals who've experienced betrayal within intimate relationships. My approach is eclectic, piecing together various therapies to meet the needs of the patient. Congratulations on taking this step towards healing. No action taken towards healing, large or small, is wasted as every action taken on your behalf is a message from you that you matter- to you.

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 Harvard Pilgrim/UnitedHealthcare?

Yes! If you use Harvard Pilgrim/UnitedHealthcare you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Harvard Pilgrim/UnitedHealthcare 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.
