New to Grow
You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure how to move forward. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, emotional difficulties, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I combine practical strategies from CBT and DBT with psychodynamic, attachment-based, interpersonal, and person-centered approaches. Together, we will address current concerns while also exploring the experiences and recurring patterns that may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, gain greater clarity, and create meaningful and lasting change.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to understand what brings you to therapy and what you would like to change. I will ask about your current concerns, important personal history, relationships, coping strategies, and treatment goals while giving you space to share at your own pace. We will begin identifying patterns that may be contributing to your difficulties and discuss an initial treatment plan tailored to your needs. You are also welcome to ask questions about my approach and what therapy may look like. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, respected, and clearer about how we can work together moving forward.
Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. I am also active, honest, and goal-oriented when that is helpful. I balance compassion and emotional support with practical strategies and deeper self-exploration. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor each session to your experiences, strengths, and goals. I help clients recognize recurring patterns, manage difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and develop greater confidence in their decisions. My focus is on creating a safe and collaborative space where you feel understood while making steady, meaningful progress.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, or a major life transition may be affecting your daily life. You may understand what is happening but still find it difficult to change familiar patterns on your own. I work best with adults who want both practical support and a deeper understanding of themselves. Together, we can strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels manageable.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps us identify the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical strategies to respond in healthier, more balanced ways. The goal is to help you feel more confident managing challenges both during and outside of therapy.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT teaches practical skills to better manage overwhelming emotions, cope with stress, improve relationships, and respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively. I incorporate these skills into therapy based on your individual needs, helping you build emotional resilience while creating lasting change.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I recognize that every person's background, culture, identity, beliefs, and life experiences shape how they see themselves and the world. My goal is to provide a respectful, inclusive space where you feel understood without assumptions or judgment. Together, we'll consider how these experiences influence your mental health and tailor therapy to what matters most to you.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I use trauma-focused CBT to help clients understand how traumatic experiences may affect their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and sense of safety. We work gradually to build coping skills, reduce distress, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy helps us understand how past experiences and long-standing patterns may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and reactions today. Together, we'll explore these patterns with curiosity and insight so you can better understand yourself, make more intentional choices, and create lasting change rather than simply managing symptoms.
