New to Grow
Have you experienced life events that have left you with flashbacks, trouble sleeping, intrusive memories, or emotional triggers that disrupt your daily life? Trauma can leave lasting effects on both the mind and body, making it difficult to cope or feel like yourself again. You may find yourself longing for hope and a return to more stable daily functioning, yet feeling overwhelmed by the impact of what you’ve been through. These experiences can stem from accidents, abuse, disasters, or even the demands of intense occupational roles, and can often leave you feeling isolated and alone. I offer nearly four years of trauma-informed counseling experience, with a background in both community mental health and residential psychiatric care. In our sessions, we will focus on understanding how trauma impacts your daily functioning while building practical skills to support effective coping. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered.
Our first session will focus on me gathering information about you, and setting goals together for therapy sessions. If you’re looking for a gentle, supportive space to process the past and move forward with strength, I would be honored to support you.
My greatest strength is honoring each person's story as unique, and having the privilege to hear that story is something that I take very seriously. Sessions with me focus on gentle support, but also include processing and working through hard things, which involves challenging thought patterns.

The effects of trauma can be overwhelming and can leave a person struggling to cope with everyday life. Roots of trauma can often be linked to accidents, abuse and disasters. Trauma can also be a result of intense occupational work, and can often leave a person feeling very alone. If you are looking for a gentle and healing space to process the past and move forward in strength, I would love to support you. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered. I do not believe that any counseling intervention is a one-size-fits-all, and I like to work with my clients on establishing goals to meet their individual needs. My therapeutic philosophies include growth and healing in a safe space. I understand processing hard things takes time. Let me join you on your journey of healing.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I work primarily in in-patient psychiatric residential care, as a trauma informed clinciain. In sessions, I focus on working gently through trauma, with the understanding that everyone's story is incredibly unique and complex. I understand that each client has different needs, so I tailor sessions to meet the unique needs of each client, rather than a one-size fits all method.
