New to Grow
I am passionate about providing trauma-informed services to clients. I believe that healing is available for everyone and that we all have room to grow. I'd love to help you along your journey. I offer a safe space for those in marginalized communities, including LGBTQIA+ clients. I love working with trauma because of the great deal of healing that therapy can provide. It’s amazing to see the changes in people’s lives when trauma is no longer holding them back!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I offer a free 15 minute consultation to make sure we're a good fit before we schedule an intake. During an intake, I'll ask questions to get to know you, establish your goals for therapy, and make sure we have a solid plan moving forward with your treatment goals in mind.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I've worked with adults age 18+ since 2013. I've practiced in a variety of settings, including community-based services, community mental health, outpatient private practice, outpatient hospital systems, and inpatent settings for dual-diagnosis clients involved in the criminal justice system. I love working with trauma because of the great deal of healing that therapy can provide. It’s amazing to see the changes in people’s lives when trauma is no longer holding them back!
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with adults and older adults. I love working with women and folks who identify as LGBTQ+ and also have worked with people of a diverse background of identities and mental health needs.
EMDR
EMDR is a treatment modality proven to work with a variety of diagnoses. It involves using traumatic memories along with current emotions and body sensations to help process trauma, with the goal of feeling neutral about the past traumatic event rather than triggered on a regular basis.
Attachment-based
The impact of attachment wounding can be profound and long-lasting, well into adulthood. The way we attached to caregivers as babies and children can continue to impact how we connect in adult relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Changing how we think about things can have a profound impact on our lives!
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I approach therapy from a framework that utilizes the cultural resources that the client already has to help aid in working toward their goals.
Eclectic
I know that each client may need something different, so I combine knowledge from a vast array of therapeutic approaches to find a good fit for each client to help work toward their goals.
