New to Grow
My focus is on you as a person. A person-centered approach is the perspective from which I come in order to walk with you through growth and healing. You are free to talk about anything in the safety of our therapeutic relationship. Together we will develop a plan which will guide you to the path of your desire. Your future is bright.
During our first session together, we will explore your history and will discuss the pain, the struggles, in the needs which bring you to therapy. You will find a free and protected space which is safe and judgment-free. We will develop a therapeutic alliance and create a treatment plan with goals specific for you.
I have worked with many people including children through senior adults. Many have discovered strength, healing, and growth through their work with me. Many people have said they find my voice to be soothing and calming while others have said my presence has brought them feelings of safety and hope. My focus is on you and your needs. Our time together will be used to help you find your strength, reclaim your power, explore your deep emotions including your traumas and pains, and to discover hope, healing, and a bright future.
You are looking for hope, for joy, for better days. You want to experience healing and wholeness. You want to gain confidence and know you can handle whatever life brings to you. These are all possible! Some are finding themselves struggling as parents - there is hope for you and your children. Postpartum depression is real - you are not crazy or broken and you don't have to suffer alone. Some have experienced the devastation of miscarriage -you are not alone and you can smile again. Others have walked the lonely road of infertility - it isn't your fault and you can make it through the pain. And countless others have experienced some type of extreme trauma, neglect, or abuse - you are a survivor and can become your best self.
