New to Grow
I have been a therapist for 10 years, and feel like I am supposed to be right where I need to be. I am direct, and honest, using humor as a way to help my client's navigate difficult issues, and also build the confidene to tackle the obstacles to becoming their best selves. I always honor my client's and go at their pace, never pushing people to go where they are not ready too, I meet you where you are, and we build the next best self together.
In the first session, we discuss your goals for therapy, what brings you to therapy and what you expect from me. I am happy to answer your questions and we will discuss the mandatory disclosure and what it means.
I am a different type of therapist, I look at life through a positive lens, use honest, accountability and trust to help use build rapport. I am not the therapist that will just reflect back or hyper focus on surface level emotions, and we will go at your pace. This is your time, its valuable, I want to honor the investment your making in your mental health by being the best I can be for you.
I specialise in working with kids 0-5, teens and young adults up to age 26. I enjoy digging into difficult issues, and being that companion to navigate them together. Depression, Neurodivergence and bipolar and suicidality and play therapy are areas I really enjoy working with. My ideal client is someone whom wants a therapist to hold them accountable, be direct and also willing to do the work and dig into difficult issues, knowing that I am here to support you. I never use the phrase " so how does that make you feels", you are the client and know your emotions, lets dig into them together, I will go where you want to go at your pace.
I utilize Neurofeedback and Biofeedfeed to help client's regulate their bodies and learn to be more aware in difficult situations, I utilize Brainmaster EEG software for Neurofeedback and these session are charged on a sliding fee scale based on income. Neurofeedback is good for ADHD, anxiety, and a range of other mental health issues.
I utilize CBT and Trauma focused CBT to help client identify and learn more skills to identify thoughts, feelings and behaviors ithrough things such as anxiety, to difficult trauma situations
I have utilized DBT for years, and enjoy helping people learn the expansive skills DBT offers and impleting them in daily lives, from depression, anxiety, to Bipolar issues
I use Jungian play therapy approaches to help kids navigate and process how to regulate, and express emotions or work through difficult trauma situations.
Play therapy is my Jam, I enjoy being in the play therapy space, digging into the unconcious mind, and using toys to tell difficult stories and express them with less pain and trauma over time.
