New to Grow
As a clinician, my objective with you is simple--to help you understand how to prioritize yourself without guilt. In my sessions we explore the root causes of your self-abandonment, self-sabotage, and self-betrayal. From that root, we identify the repeating patterns that have arrested your emotional investment in yourself, your wellness, and your needs. We use all of that information to disrupt the behaviors that you've learned to keep you hushed, compliant and overlooked. Being able to name your emotions, your needs, and your experiences--whether they be anxiety, depression, life transitions & adjustments, dating--all of them require understanding how to identify, express, confront and process your emotions. In my practice, we don't just talk about your emotions and trauma--we do something about them.
In our first session, expect to deeply explore the reason why you decided to engage in therapy, what changes you would like to make, where you believe that you are currently in that journey of change, how the patterns you have learned are creating the distance between you and your goal, and how to change those patterns so that you get closer to your ideal quality of life.
In my practice, we don't just talk about your emotions and trauma--we do something about them. I've had multiple of my clients describe our work together as intentional, transformative, deeply moving, and life changing. My style of intervention is simple: Identify, call in, intervene. Once we identify the pattern, I call in your commitment to its existence, and we create a personalized intervention for the pattern. Homework assignments are built based upon our discussions--no worksheets, no "one size fits all." Custom made for you each time.
My ideal client has a sincere will and desire to show up and do the work required to improve their quality of life. This does not mean that the client is *perfect.* They must simply be *willing.* They want to understand more thoroughly how their emotional reality exists, and what they can do to improve or manage it more effectively.
