New to Grow
I am here to listen and to support you to understand more about yourself. We all have our challenges in life, and I recognize no one is free from personal struggle. I am here to offer you a judgment free zone to say the things you need to say and work through challenges in your life. You will find I am direct and prefer my client to be direct with me, as well.
I will ask you to share, in your own words, what brings you to therapy. If you struggle to articulate, at first (after all, you do not know me, yet!), I will always help you to find the words and find the voice that works for you. My goal is to support you as best I can to meet your goals. I may suggest additional assessments and will, always, include you in a potential diagnosis, if this is relevant and, if, this is what you seek.
My approach is eclectic and will always seek to understand your unique situation and how you view your circumstances. I am very good at recognizing patterns in family dynamics, work situations and friend groups and how mental health is affected. My care is trauma-informed and understand how childhood and past trauma, in all its forms, affects the present. I will support you work toward integration for a better present and future.
I do not have an ideal client! The only ideal I have is any person who wants to learn and reflect on themselves and the changes they want in their lives. A person who is open to feedback and willing to guide me toward what they want and hope to gain in the therapy experience. I prefer someone who can hear the difficult things and is open to change in their lives - with the recognition that difficult topics are broached with respect and care and not to overwhelm.
Eclectic
A draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques. Therapy is not a one stop for everyone service!
