New to Grow
I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years experience supporting individuals on their journey towards healing and personal growth. My priority is to create a safe, supportive and empowering therapeutic environment where meaningful change can take place. I am trained in EMDR and hypnotherapy, and I take an integrative, holistic approach to treatment. I believe that to truly understand the challenges a person is facing it is essential to consider the whole person - mind, body and lifestyle. This perspective allows us to uncover deeper patterns and create lasting, sustainable change. My approach is client-centered and collaborative. I believe that your are the expert of your own life and therapy is a partnership where your voice, experiences, and goals guide the process. I view therapy as a powerful journey- one that supports you in becoming the healthiest version of yourself while creating a life that feels aligned, fulfilling, and intentional. I look forward to working with you to navigate challenges, build resilience, and achieve your personal goals. As a therapist, it is my priority to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes growth and positive changes. I am trained in EMDR and hypnotherapy. I think that to truly understand what a person is having difficulties with it is important to study a person’s overall lifestyle, this has led me on a journey to study holistic therapy. Because I believe that each person is in control of their therapy sessions, I utilize a person-centered approach. I truly believe that therapy is a process that can move you toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the life you desire. I look forward to working with you to address your challenges and realize your goals.
Your first session is a space for us to get to know each other and begin building a strong foundation for your care. During this time, we will explore your background, current concerns, and what has led you to seek support at this point in your life. We'll talk through the challenges you're facing as well as your goals for therapy, so I can better understand how to support you. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, share what you're hoping to gain from therapy, and begin to feel comfortable int he process. Together, we will start identifying a path forward that aligns with your needs, values, and overall lifestyle. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, meaning ou play an active role in shaping your treatment an dthe direction we take. By the end of the session, you can expect to have a clearer understanding of how we will work together and the next steps toward your growth and healing.
Clients often share that I am easy to talk to, which helps them feel comfortable, open and understood from the very beginning. I create a space where you can show up as your are without judgement while still feeling supported and guided. I am also known for being straightforward, honest and intentional in my approach. I believe in addressing things directly, while offering compassion and respect, so you can gain clarity and begin making meaningful changes. My work goes beyond simply talking about challenges, I focus on helping you achieve real results. Together, we work to increase self-awareness, identify patterns, and develop practical tools that support lasting growth. I take a holistic, client-centered approach, recognizing that your experiences, lifestyle, and overall well-being all play a role in your mental health. This allows us to not only manage current concerns, but also address the deeper factors contributing to them. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, navigating life transitions, processing past experiences, or simply seeking a greater sense of balance and clarity, therapy can be a space for meaningful transformation.
I'm best positioned to support individuals dealing with trauma, depression, and high levels of stress, especially women navigating the demands of corporate or high-pressure environments. I work well with those who may feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck, but are ready to do the work to feel better and create balance in their lives. My approach is supportive, pratical and tailored to help you regain clarity, confidence and a sense of control.
EMDR
I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help you process and heal from past experiences that may still be affecting you today. This approach helps your brain make sense of those experiences in a healthier way, so they feel less overwhelming over time. You don't have to go into every detail, my role is to guide you through the process in a way that feels safe, supportive, and manageable.
Eclectic
I take an ecletic approach, which means I use a mix of different therapy methods based on what works best for you. Everyone's needs are different, so I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we'll find the tools and strategies that fit your goals, your personality and your life.
