My Approach to Helping

If you’re feeling stuck—knowing what’s hard but unsure how to break through—you're not alone. Whether you're grappling with trauma, anxiety, or the lasting effects of sexual or domestic abuse, it’s normal to feel uncertain about the next step. Therapy can be a safe and powerful space to unpack these struggles, find clarity, and learn how to move forward in a way that feels right for you. Together, we will empower you, helping you take control of your life and build deeper, more meaningful connections—with yourself, others, and the world. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone; healing is possible.

My therapeutic approach is client-centered, focusing on genuineness, warmth, and unconditional positive regard. With a trauma-focused lens, I integrate IFS, Gestalt, mindful self-compassion, and mindfulness techniques. This holistic approach helps clients heal, gain insight, and build resilience on their journey to growth and recovery.

Life is already hard enough without trauma; allow yourself the opportunity to unburden, learn new strategies and perspectives, and start living authentically. If you are ready to begin this chapter in your healing journey, please reach out today. I look forward to our work together.

What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process

'Gentle Growth' is a reference to the incomparable, natural process we all can experience in our healing journey. As a professional counselor, I am equipped with clinical knowledge and experience to provide quality therapeutic interventions. In addition to these interventions is my philosophy that a therapist must also provide time, space, and an abundance of warm, genuine compassion for their clients so they can safely and confidently delve into this rewarding journey.
