Second Growth Counseling

My work consists of providing a welcoming, profoundly non-judgmental atmosphere where one can experience the safety that human relationships may offer. I truly believe people first need the basics. We connect and flourish in therapy when provided with acceptance, respect and dignity in a non-shaming relationship. My hope is we can work together to help you uncover your strengths again, or even perhaps help you see them for the first time, in an environment of complete support and acceptance. Healing happens within relational settings. I will partner with you to better understand your unique experiences, needs, and emotions so you can create the meaningful change you seek. My approach blends psychodynamic therapy, somatic practices, and attachment theory to help you understand not just what you feel, but why. Healing and growth isn’t linear; it’s often overwhelming, and takes bravery. My approach is creative, compassionate, and trauma-competent, building on strengths you already have to open new paths to healing. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to offer a safe, affirming space where you can feel seen and supported.
