Guided Growth Mental Wellness, PLLC

I know what it’s like to grow up in a home where emotional and physical needs were not met. In fact, it was those early experiences that forged my path to becoming a therapist and have shaped my deep commitment to providing trauma-informed, supportive and compassionate therapy for individuals who are healing from childhood adversity and complex family dynamics. I understand how these early experiences contribute to longstanding patterns of self-doubt, self-criticism, emotional dysregulation and difficulty establishing and maintaining healthy relationships. These patterns often ripple into every area of life—friendships, romantic relationships, self-esteem, parenting, careers, and the ability to manage stress effectively. This can all seem very overwhelming and unmanageable, but with the right support, meaningful and lasting change is possible. I want to help you find that for yourself. I specialize in helping individuals who grew up with emotionally immature, unavailable or overly reactive parents break free from the weight of the past and I'm dedicated to helping you create the life you deserve. In addition to my specialty focus, I bring over 15 years of diverse experience providing therapeutic support for teens, emerging adults and adults across a variety of therapeutic settings: school and community based mental health, outpatient settings and military/government settings. These diverse experiences have equipped me to support a variety of client concerns such as ADHD, anger management, anxiety, career counseling and exploration, codependency, depression, divorce, domestic abuse, family conflict, grief, relationship challenges/conflict, infidelity, adjustments and life transitions, parenting, peer relationships, identity exploration, school issues, low self esteem, stress, stressors common to military members/veterans and their families and women's issues/concerns. Across every chapter of my career, I have observed that one truth has remained constant: healing and growth happen in safe, supportive, non-judgmental and intentional spaces. My goal at Guided Growth Mental Wellness is to create a therapeutic environment where you feel seen, heard, valued, and understood. Whether you’re navigating old wounds, current stressors, or major life transitions—or a combination of any of these things—I’m here to support you in healing and growing at your own pace—so you can let go of self-limiting beliefs, release old patterns that no longer serve you, and create the connected, balanced, and fulfilling life you deserve.
