I’m so glad you’re here.

Life can be overwhelming, and asking for support isn’t always easy yet it’s a powerful first step. At Guided Growth, I offer a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. If you’re navigating anxiety, healing from trauma, feeling stuck, or simply seeking more balance, you don’t have to do it alone.

I believe in the power of collaboration and tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. I understand that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why I take an integrative approach blending evidence-based therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to meet you where you are.

In your first session you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you’ll feel heard, understood, and respected. We’ll begin by discussing your goals, concerns, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. Together, we’ll explore your unique strengths, challenges, and experiences, laying the foundation for our work together.

I’ll take the time to explain my approach to therapy and answer any questions you may have about the process. We’ll collaboratively develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and preferences, ensuring that you feel empowered and involved.

I am trained in a variety of evidence-based approaches that are proven to support emotional wellness and long-term growth.

This approach respects the individual’s pace and recognizes the complexity of trauma’s impact.
