Welcome to Verdant Therapy & The Visionary Studio LLC! I'm so glad you decided to seek therapy. No matter if your challenges are deeper traumas and healing or just an honest attempt to improve stress management, we can work collaboratively to generate individualized goals and healthy habits catered to your specific needs and lifestyle. Depending on your preference, you can anticipate comfortable talk therapy or expressive arts therapies to help you along either virtually or in our homey office space. It is my intention to help you achieve and thrive regardless of the task(s) at hand. No leather couches here!
My specializations include complex trauma, whole-person therapy, and anxiety. I've worked with chronic illnesses, major life transitions, and a little of everything in between. Hopefully through some 'thinking outside the box' and co-operative strategy, we can work together and achieve healing.
When you're ready, feel free to give me a call or send an email. Consider this my invitation to you, personally :) I am happy to support your process and provide resources as I am able. Please also take some time to consider how I can make you most comfortable with the therapy process. It would be my pleasure to be your therapist.

No matter what your reason for therapy is, I try to create a collaborative approach. You are the expert of yourself, so we work together in my sessions to identify things you'd like to work on and set the pace that's best for you. By the second appointment, we create some treatment goals and begin working down symptoms that have gotten in the way.

Most often I take an invitational approach to therapy. We work together (compassion focused) to create a plan that will best help your needs. CBT helps us understand how we got here, positive psychology helps us rebuild our mindsets, and expressive arts are used to switch up traditional talk therapy if you prefer to have more interactive therapy.
