New to Grow
Life affects us all in challenging and positive ways. We connect on similarities and grow when differences are present. Acceptance, care, empathy, and genuineness are values I hold dear in life and in the therapy experience. I love having the opportunity to journey with others through life's beauty and valleys. Outside of the therapy world, I love spending time in nature, with animals, friends, and family! I enjoy reading, working out, and the opportunities life has to offer! Feel free to ask anything you would like to know!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I typically use an integrative approach with a warm and caring style. In the first session, we will explore your life experiences and goals for your journey. Together, we will form a roadmap for this process that we will walk together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I implement an integrative approach to counseling to best serve each client's needs. While we all have some similarities, we also have differences. Both are important to acknowledge and take into account. I take a warm, caring, and empathic approach. I integrate this approach with flexibility as everyone's pace is different. I am a supporter and change agent- I will challenge as appropriate to help you move forward at a pace that fits.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Sometimes life events, or multiple life events, can leave an impact so profound the effects are difficult to journey through. You may feel alone and stuck; worried about how to move forward. The joy you once felt in life either slowly slipped away or was taken in a moment. The relationships you once felt connected to aren’t as fulfilling as they once were and you are unsure what to do. You just know you don't want to feel this way. If you should decide to take steps to work through these effects, I am here to walk with you through the journey; to help weather the storm as your encourager, challenger and supporter. Life affects us all in beautiful ways and can also journey us to valleys. It's important to celebrate life's beauty and walk together through life's valleys. For those of you who find yourself struggling in a valley and unsure how to move forward, I would be honored to journey with you.
Integrative
Just as we all experience similar struggles in life, we also have differences. I implement an integrative theoretical approach to best fit each individual.
