About My Clients
You’re doing all you can, but it feels like you're unraveling. Maybe you’re stuck in anxious thoughts that won’t quiet down, haunted by past experiences, navigating a life stressor, or parenting a child whose struggles leave you feeling helpless. It’s exhausting holding it all together when your mind and body are asking for relief. Therapy with me can be a place to breathe again, understand the weight you're carrying, and begin to feel like yourself—stronger and more in control.
My Background and Approach
With over 20 years of experience in developing, overseeing, and delivering mental health services, I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals in various roles. This journey has shaped my ability to adapt to different needs and challenges, offering me a well-rounded perspective on mental health. I’m trained in several evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT-informed techniques, EMDR, and child-centered play therapy. While these methods are powerful tools, I believe the real value comes from the life lessons I've gathered along the way. It's this blend of knowledge and experience that allows me to connect with clients in a meaningful way. I take a solution-focused, direct approach in therapy. My goal is not only to help you gain insights into your experiences but also to equip you with practical tools that can make a difference in your everyday life. Together, we’ll explore the root of your challenges and work on strategies that will help you overcome them.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that our past does not define us, and experiencing mental health struggles is far from a sign of weakness. Deciding to start therapy is one of the bravest things you can do, and I deeply respect that choice. When I started my private mental health practice, I named it "Grit and Grace Counseling" — based on lessons I learned through my own therapeutic journey. Grit builds resilience, while grace fosters healing. Together, they create powerful transformation. At the heart of my approach is the belief that healing comes from within. Therapy is a profound tool for creating the change. I strive to create an empathetic, relaxed, and non-judgmental space where you can explore, heal, and grow. I also believe in the healing power of laughter, so expect to share some lighthearted moments along the way.
