About My Clients
My ideal clients are moms/moms to be and/or those who have experienced trauma(s) in their lives. I work with women from conception and through their parenting journey - especially in the early postpartum months. I also work with moms who have experienced perinatal grief or loss. I work with a lot of victims of crime, and help them to process through the traumatic events they have experienced while developing adequate coping skills and new insight and ways to view their traumas.
My Background and Approach
My therapeutic style is collaborative and solution-focused. My goal is to work with you, at your pace, starting exactly where you are in your healing process. I utilize a variety of therapeutic methods and techniques, often combining them to best meet the needs of each client. I understand that every client and situation are different, and that there are many factors that may be contributing to your individual circumstances. I understand the value of your time, and want my clients to get the most out of their therapy experiences. Therapy at River Root does not stop when you finish your session; you will have the greatest benefit when you incorporate the things you learn into your everyday life. My goal is to help you develop a "toolbox" that you can carry on as you continue throughout life, long after therapy ends. I utilize a biopsychosocial approach, so I will help you develop tools to achieve your goals from a biological, psychological, and social perspective.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that therapy is a personal, unique process that allows individuals to learn about themselves, grow in who they are, and learn new skills. Everyone can change and grow at any point in their lives. Humans are constantly growing, evolving, and changing to meet their circumstances. I believe that mental health issues are often a result of unhealthy learned behaviors, and through therapy, you can "unlearn" some of those behaviors and patterns that are problematic in your life. I believe each individual has limitless capability, and through therapy, you will learn to achieve your goals and make small changes to have lasting results.
