New to Grow
I am passionate about teaching others how to access their deep knowing and watching people grow and learn in new and successful ways. I find the work of psychotherapy to be fulfilling and purposeful and I look forward to being on the journey of improving your mental health wellness with you. I use empathetic listening, curiosity, and my excitement for helping others in order to provide a sense of validation to my clients. I believe that we heal through meaning making and I help you do this in an supportive and understanding space. I also believe that being heard and acknowledged for who we are and what we feel is so important for the human experience and I work hard to offer this to my clients. I work to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients by creating a collaborative, compassionate and respectful therapeutic relationship. I offer a safe and supportive container for individuals to explore and strengthen their abilities. I am honored to help my clients and feel humbled to be trusted enough to be invited into the pain and experiences of those whom I get to work with.
In our first session, we will complete an intake assessment to make sure we have enough information to get started in our therapy journey together. We will start actual therapy in our second session.
I have worked various settings with a multitude of populations over the last 22 years giving me experience with many of life's difficult situations. I am very client centered and believe that our relationship is the most important part of therapy. I tend to be eclectic in my therapeutic approach in order to meet my clients where they are and to provide what they are needing in each session.
I love working with all clients. I choose to work with adults in individual therapy at this point in my career because it feels the most aligned with my work. I really enjoy working to help people understand why they are struggling as well as help them reframe their internal narrative to fit their current situation instead of living in the past. I love to use mindfulness and self regulation to help clients learn to be open to feeling hard things.
