Hello, I am Bridgett! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who is eager to assist and guide you on a path toward healing. Whether you are seeking support to navigate conflict or stressors that are impacting your well-being, wishing to overcome feelings of being overwhelmed, looking to foster healthy communication skills or wanting to learn about effective coping strategies to combat depressive symptoms or anxiety, I am here to help. I utilize evidence-based practices, art and mindfulness to address your unique needs. Let's work together! Additionally, is your child or adolescent experiencing behavioral challenges, emotional struggles, or difficulties navigating their relationships? Consider me, as I also specialize in working with children. Throughout our sessions, I will help equip them with the tools needed to address a wide range of concerns that affect your child's mental health.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our sessions together, I will provide a safe and inclusive space for exploration and healing. When starting, I will work towards assuring rapport is built and will continue to aid in fostering a strong therapeutic alliance throughout our time together. Sessions will focus on helping you reach your goals for well-being all while guiding you toward autonomy. This is how I like to describe therapy sessions: You are the driver, I am the passenger. I will be there for the entire ride through every terrain and road. I will help read the map to provide directions, but it is up to you, the driver, to arrive at the destination.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize compassion and empathy, evidence-based techniques, coping strategy teaching, thought-challenging techniques and thought logs, communication skills building, art and mindfulness to assist you in reaching your emotional health goals. If working with your child, I will create a safe and nurturing environment for your child/adolescent to express themselves and explore their emotions. I will utilize evidence-based interventions tailored to your child's unique needs, fostering emotional resilience, enhancing coping skills, and promoting healthy regulation techniques.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
