LPC, 4 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a fully licensed therapist with four years of experience serving clients in a highly demanding setting. I feel confident when working with clients who are experiencing insecurity, shame, and disconnection; I greatly enjoy helping them re-connect with themselves and their loved ones through exploration of their life story and inner voice. I am also experienced in providing support to couples and parents seeking a way to restore harmony to their households.
The first session is spent gathering background information including your current goals, family history, and unique experiences that make you you.
I have experience using techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trust-Based Relational Interventions (TBRI), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have been described as warm, open, compassionate, and easy-to-talk-to.
My ideal client is someone who often feels as though they are watching their life move by without them. They feel as though others have a guide book they did not receive, and much of their time is spent trying to figure out what is "wrong" with them. All I ask is that my clients have an open mind and an inkling of hope that they do not have to spend the rest of their lives feeling this way.
I use attachment-based methods to help clients address shame, insecurity, and disconnection through exploration of their attachment to early life figures, role in their family of origin, and unmet childhood needs.
I have training in Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and enjoy using it to support parents of children experiencing hardship (adoption, foster care, trauma, developmental disabilities, etc.).
