New to Grow
I believe that authenticity and genuineness should underlie any therapeutic relationship. With 16 years of clinical practice, I have a lot professional training and life experience to draw on. I offer different modalities and levels of therapy, tailored to where you are at and what you are interested in - whether you are seeking transformational change, or merely transformation of a situation or life circumstance. I work from heart-centered approaches and offer a deeper integration of body, mind and being. I specialize in one-on-one therapy, often with a focus on areas such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and even inspired growth. I also utilize many different therapeutic techniques, such as CBT, am DBT-informed, Attachment Theory, and a gentle focus on more somatic mind/body healing. I accept Kaiser of Northern California, also being native to the region.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is typically spent getting to know you. Understanding who you are beyond just the "symptoms" that may have recently been presenting themselves in your life.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
It’s my passion to help people overcome difficulties and become the best versions of themselves. I provide a safe and collaborative therapeutic environment with heart-centered and person-centered approaches. I also utilize many different therapeutic techniques, such as CBT, being DBT informed, Attachment Theory, and a focus on mind/body healing.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Do you want to heal and be a part of positive change on the planet? Working to heal your own wounds and emotions benefits you, your loved ones, and everyone around you. Whether you are looking for support in current relationships, going through a transition, or seeking to heal from deeper layers of old or painful emotions, my goal is to help you move forward in a centered way, more connected to who you really are. Any treatment I provide is rooted in empathy, non-judgement, and based in relationship. I began my career as an academic counselor at Chico State and have worked with a variety of agencies since becoming a LMFT. For the last nine years, I have been treating adults and young adults in the private practice setting with a specialty focus on trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and mindfulness. I am also LGBTQIA+ affirming and body positive.
