If you’re struggling with your health, you may feel out of control, confused, frustrated, or misunderstood. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, or simply want to understand and care for yourself better, I am here to support you. Together, we’ll embark on a journey toward healing and feeling more connected to your life. I use a variety of evidence-based, holistic, strengths-based, and client-centered therapeutic approaches. My goal is to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences are interconnected, empowering you to achieve balance, safety, resilience, and personal growth.
I believe in the philosophy of “treat the person, not the diagnosis.” This means I will collaborate with you to blend my training and expertise with your lived experiences, creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. For those focusing on trauma recovery, I also work alongside a trauma specialist, Dr. Valen, at the Solace Clinic.
Dr. Valen is accepting new clients as of November 2025. Dr. Blanken is not accepting new clients until February 2026. Please reach out to schedule a free consultation call to discuss how our clinic can help with your concerns. We currently have flexible availability and various payment options for new clients. We look forward to hearing from you!
