Therapy shouldn't make you feel like you are doing everything "wrong" - let's start with what you are doing well and figure out how to do more of that. At Grow in Grace you are steering the work - what is important to you is important to me. There is a reason you think now is the time for therapy - that reason becomes our shared goal. In every session you can expect that your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are heard and valued. You are the expert on your life - my job is to come along side you, hold space, offer new perspectives, provide tools, and cheerlead.

You never know what will be waiting for you on the other side of the door. Every day his dementia seems to get worse. Yesterday he thought you were an old student of his. Today he doesn't recognize you at all. You lay in bed at night consumed with worry. You spend so much time and energy on your father that the rest of your life is being neglected. You see your family less. Work assignments are falling through the cracks. It fills you with guilt but sometimes you think about how much easier life would be if you didn't have to care for your dad.

An ideal client for my practice will be someone older than 30 y/o who is dealing with anxiety, depression and any trauma related issues (mistrust, PTSD, somatic complaints, nightmares, sexual dysfunction, low self-esteem just to mention a few). Potential clients should be committed to change as they have realized that avoidance has not gotten them anywhere. This person values the therapeutic relationship, is looking for someone that not only listen but also and most importantly, helps them to overcome their problems in a collaborative effort. Recognizing the importance of the mind-body connection in the healing process is a plus.

I understand that we can benefit from help if we feel stuck, overwhelmed or not sure where to turn. Sometimes people get stuck in patterns that may have been helpful but have become limiting or even destructive. I believe therapy can provide deep healing which allows for greater flexibility, ease, self knowledge and enjoyment of life. With 20+ years of experience, I have been successful in helping my clients through depression, substance abuse, anxiety, panic and grief and loss or just gaining more satisfaction with their lives. It has been an honor for me to do this.

Each of us have experienced a point in time where we have been overwhelmed by trauma, problems at home, work or in the community. These problems may be issues including anxiety, depression, domestic violence, sexual assault, work place violence, death of a loved one, co-parenting, anger, divorce, work place stress or substance abuse. These stressors may impact daily life and can become overwhelming and require the need for outside support from a trained, licensed professional in order to work through challenges.
