New to Grow
I’m Toni, a therapist of over 10 years with a special connection and interest in helping women find their voice, identify what they want, and build the confidence to go for it. I’m a bright, warm therapist who genuinely cares and wants to connect. There will be no “blank slate” here- I want to join you and walk through this together, celebrating your wins and supporting you through the lows.
Our first session will include an in-depth overview of you, your history, and what’s been going on for you lately that brings you in. I’m not only looking to collect just background information- I want to give you space to articulate what you’ve been going through, and come up with a plan on how to address it, together.
It’s important to me that clients leave each session with an overview of what we talked about as a take away to ponder over the week, as well as a suggestion of what they can pay attention to until next session so that we can go over it together.
I do my best work with women navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, people-pleasing patterns, boundaries, self-worth, anxiety, and the lasting impact of past experiences on their relationships and sense of self. I especially love getting deeper by helping clients gain insight into emotional patterns, build self-compassion, improve emotional regulation, and develop healthier, more authentic relationships with themselves and the people in their lives.
Psychodynamic
As a psychodynamically trained practitioner, I’m interested in first getting to understand what’s going on for you now, so we can trace it back and understand the roots and sources of what you faced today
Compassion Focused
All of the “issues” you have probably come from a place of self protection. In our work together, we will focus on creating understanding for those parts of yourself you so desperately want to fight against.
Eclectic
I truly want to meet every patient where they’re at, so I will pull from various treatment approaches to create a plan that works for them.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We can understand your past, but CBT allows us to create ways for you to manage your mental health in the present.
