New to Grow
I started my journey to become a therapist 12 years ago working with children and their parents. Today as an individual therapist for adults, family issues remain important to many of my clients and having a background that considers the social context is more relevant than ever. Clients often have a history of feeling disempowered, silenced and self-silenced; by using a down to earth, compassionate style, I can help you rediscover your voice. I aim to provide clinical knowledge, life experience, and self-awareness that help people heal themselves.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I will get to know a bit about your background and current needs. We will start to build a rapport and understanding of what you would like to work on in therapy. Towards the end we will discuss scheduling, confidentiality, etc.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Every therapeutic approach can be a useful frame at times, and they all also have pitfalls. With awareness of both, I bring a range of approaches to help my clients. I am a trusted consultant who helps clients heal themselves by increasing insight and confidence.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Generational trauma: clients who are suffering grief, or feel like a black sheep within a dysfunctional family dynamic. Life transitions: feeling confused, out of place, or lacking confidence for a desired change. Spirituality: clients who are exploring, who may be navigating interfaith dynamics. Feminist issues: women whose lives seem to be about everyone around them or who have disproportional burdens of care.
Trauma Informed Care
Extensive experience treating trauma in all ages, empowering and self-reflective stance.
