New to Grow
I’m a licensed therapist specializing in trauma-informed, evidence-based care for adults and older adolescents. I integrate EMDR, hypnotherapy, experiential techniques, and interpersonal strategies to help clients process trauma, reduce anxiety and depression, strengthen relationships, and build resilience. My collaborative, practical approach tailors interventions to each person’s goals, blending skills training with deeper reprocessing to support lasting, meaningful change, personal growth.
In your first session, we’ll focus on building rapport, understanding your immediate concerns, and gathering information to shape a safe, effective treatment plan. Expect a warm, confidential conversation about what brings you to therapy, current symptoms, history (including trauma if relevant), relationship and work functioning, and any prior treatment. I’ll ask about safety — sleep, substance use, self-harm or suicidal thoughts — so we can address risk and ensure stability. We’ll review confidentiality, limits to privacy, session logistics (length, frequency, fees, cancellation policy), and consent for treatment. I’ll explain the therapeutic methods I use (EMDR, hypnotherapy, experiential and interpersonal work), how they might be helpful, and invite your questions or concerns. We’ll collaboratively set initial goals and prioritize what to work on first. If appropriate, we may do brief, gentle experiential exercises or grounding techniques to assess what feels comfortable for you. I’ll provide recommendations for immediate coping strategies you can use between sessions and discuss scheduling and next steps. My aim is to create a clear, compassionate starting point so you leave feeling understood, safer, and with a sense of direction for therapy. Bring any relevant records and be prepared to share what feels most important to you.
My approach stands out because it blends rigorous, evidence-based methods with individualized, compassionate care. I combine EMDR and hypnotherapy for efficient trauma reprocessing, experiential techniques to practice new responses in vivo, and interpersonal strategies to repair relationship patterns. I prioritize safety, pacing, and client agency, tailoring interventions to each person’s readiness and goals. Sessions are collaborative and pragmatic—focused on measurable progress and real-world skill-building—while also creating space for deep emotional processing. This integrated, flexible model accelerates symptom relief, builds resilience, and fosters lasting change by addressing both the body’s responses and the story that sustains them.
I’m best positioned to serve adults and older adolescents who are motivated to engage actively in therapy to resolve trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties. Ideal clients value a collaborative, evidence-informed approach and are open to integrating experiential methods — such as hypnotherapy to access and reframe automatic beliefs, EMDR for efficient trauma reprocessing, role-based experiential exercises to practice new behaviors, and interpersonal strategies to repair and strengthen relationships. Clients I work well with often present with intrusive memories, unresolved childhood or recent trauma, chronic anxiety or panic, low mood, difficulties with trust or intimacy, and persistent patterns that interfere with work or relationships. I also support people navigating life transitions , grief, career change, breakup/divorce, or identity exploration, who want both practical coping skills and deeper emotional processing. The best fit includes readiness to commit to a course of therapy, willingness to reflect between sessions, and openness to body-centered and imagery-based work. A growth mindset, curiosity about new ways of relating to thoughts and feelings, and a tolerance for emotionally charged material within a safe, contained setting make therapy more effective. If someone prefers strictly talk-only approaches, we can adapt pace and techniques, but maximal benefit comes when clients are willing to try experiential interventions. Common therapy goals I help clients achieve are reducing symptom intensity, processing traumatic memories, changing self-limiting beliefs, improving emotional regulation, strengthening communication and attachment patterns, and increasing self-compassion and agency. I provide a respectful, nonjudgmental space where interventions are tailored to each person’s needs, blending practical skill-building with deeper reprocessing work to support lasting change and healthier relationships.
