New to Grow
I am a Jacksonville, FL native who is naturally passionate and excited about growth, transition, and identity work. After participating in school and gathering knowledge from Clinical Mental Health master's program and obtaining my certification in Life Coaching, I started gardening as a way to return to nature and myself. My time in my garden helps me deepen the lessons the world offers me and in turn it helps me offer my heart to others.
Our first session looks like having a conversation about you and getting to know you. I believe it takes time to get to know my clients and I don’t want to assume I know you. I believe my clients hold the answers they need. I am here to ask the right questions for them to come out! In this first session I ask deep and insightful questions and get to know your lifestyle, your relationship with yourself and others.
I have been told that I have a warm and “disarming” presence. I believe in taking a non-judgemental approach so build a comfortable space for my clients. I ask insightful questions, not just for me, but to help my clients know themselves deeper as well. I use a lot of gardening and nature metaphors to help deepen understanding. I am intuitive and listen to your body language as well. This is helpful for clients who tend to be intellectual, but disconnected from their body.
My ideal client comes into session desiring to know themselves deeper. Those who have struggled to trust their intuition, make grounded decisions, and get to know their true identity. My clients tend to have experienced trauma that has left them feeling they are "too broken" to have real community, take charge of their life, and live within their ultimate purpose. I work best with those who are ready to take ownership of their life and live outside of autopilot and harmful trauma cycles.
I identify as
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
This treatment method helps my clients understand their inner emotional world. This then helps them grasp a better understanding of themselves and how to manage their emotions.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is helpful for those who struggle with shame in their identity. This models helps me illustrate identity and to grow closer to their higher self.
Psychodynamic
Real change happens when you get to the root of the issue. This approach helps me ask deep and insightful questions to acquire sustainable change.
