New to Grow
I am a divorced single mother and first generation American. I was born as a natural healer and continue to live out my calling. I have been blessed to help many clients move toward healing over the past 13+ years. I have worked with a diverse set of clients and specialize in Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and relationship concerns. My background as an EMT and Shaman gives me the unique ability to support mind, body, and spirit.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is a conversation about your symptoms and goals for therapy, as well as connecting with each other.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am an empath. I feel peoples' emotions in my body and help people to release their emotions for healing. I hold a sacred space for others and witness them as they tap into their inner wisdom. It seems that the healing work I do with clients tends to be effective, and I feel blessed about that.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I tend to connect most with clients who are intelligent high achievers and clients who have increased spiritual awareness due to their experiences with trauma.
Feminist
It is part of my value system to equalize the power between us as much as possible and explore systems of oppression in your life which affect your symptoms and functioning.
Attachment-based
Attachment is a survival instinct, and it can be frustrating to realize we repeat the same patterns in our adult relationships. This is my area of study, and I utilize techniques to educate individuals and couples about their attachment styles and ways to become more secure in relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
It can be hard to realize our thoughts are negative or distorted. Having a neutral third party assist with highlighting and challenging disordered thinking is one of the foundational gifts of therapy.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Guided meditation, relaxation, and visualization are techniques I have honed over many years which many clients have found helpful in their healing journeys.
Couples Counseling
I utilize Gottman method which is a research-based set of tools for couples to increase their positive sentiments toward one another.
