LPC, 7 years of experience
New to Grow
There is no one size fits all approach to therapy, and I am committed to finding the right approach for you or your child. With experience working across all age groups, I understand that each individual brings their own unique background and experiences to therapy. My approach is centered around the client, trauma-informed, and customized to fit each person's specific needs. With experience in supporting individuals who have faced trauma, anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and emotional expression challenges, I have helped many navigate life transitions, grief, loss, and behavioral concerns. I am always open to and able to help build coping skills and process the past to move towards a healing future. I am passionate about providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients, believing that having a space to express one's needs is essential to healing. I firmly believe that showing up for my clients in an authentic way can only help build the relationship between therapist and client.
Our first session will be used to get to know each other. While I will be asking lots of questions, I want to make sure you have the space to ask me questions as well. The therapeutic relationship is integral to you feeling comfortable with me and in the therapy space so we'll focus on building this trust first.
I am a very go with the flow person. I am able to help each person at their own pace while still challenging you in a way that is helpful.
My ideal client is someone who is open to the process. Someone who wants to engage in the process and is open to change.
I truly believe that each person has inherent strengths that help them in their therapy process. Together we will identify and build on these strengths.
My first practice really emphasized trauma informed care and this is something that I have carried forward since. Therapy should be a place wherein you feel safe and supported.
I have had a few years experience utilizing play therapy techniques and have had supervision with a certified play therapist.
