New to Grow
As a provider, I always believe my clients are experts in their own lives. You have known you for your whole life and I am a guest in this chapter. I bring psychological and health expertise, and you bring expertise in who you were, who you are, and who you want to be. Taking a trauma-informed and resilience-building approach, I work with the body and mind to help you explore your unique pathway to wellbeing. Because no two people are the same, I also believe your care should reflect your unique needs and perspective. Utilizing an integrative approach, we will work together to develop your personalized path to wellness. Overall, we'll strive for balance, connection, and long-lasting transformation centered on you!
In our first session, we'll explore what your needs are and what is bringing you to therapy now. For some, they've been struggling for a long time; for others, these struggles are new; and for others, they don't know when IT started, but they just know right now they aren't their best. The beauty of therapy is that you don't have to have the answers or even know what you hope to be your final destination; as long as you bring openness and your full self, the work can begin!
I value authenticity in my clinical work: I encourage clients to be their most authentic selves and I strive to model the same.
Emerging adults and adults in life stage transitions are my ideal clients at this time. Primarily, I work with Black and Brown women navigating systems and pressures related to their identity and wellbeing. Additionally, I tend to work well with individuals working through mood and stress related disorders that may or may not have an identified origin. I am not, however, opposed to working with men or people of other cultural backgrounds.
Integrative
Every person is different, and therefore every treatment plan is different. Drawing from primary psychodynamic, humanistic, and ACT modalities, I work ith patients to develop their unique plan towards wellness.
EMDR
I am Part I and Part II trained in EMDR. I have successfully been providing this method of treatment via telehealth to patients both familiar and unfamiliar with EMDR.
