Hello, my name is Roxanne and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I found my passion of helping others heal and grow long before I began practicing in 2013. I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology which was the turning point of transforming my passion and dream into a reality. While on the journey together, I strive to empower you to heal, learn about yourself, and work towards the changes you desire. You are worth it and it is possible! I believe in meeting you exactly where you are at and supporting you in your growth. I am passionate about providing a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore emotions, cry, laugh, and have the freedom to sort through that messy closet and modify it into an organized space that makes sense to you. Reclaiming your life, using your voice, working through trauma, believing in yourself, finding joy, and searching for a sense of wellbeing can be a lifelong process. You have made that first and most courageous step to reach out for support to regain your happiness. Remember that all journeys have obstacles and you are not alone. I believe in change and that every individual has a level of resiliency. You are a strong human and it is typical to have challenges and feel overwhelmed. I look forward to meeting you and am full heartedly ready to embark on this journey together to support you in finding your authentic self. When I am not engaging in my passion of helping others heal, I enjoy activities in nature, spending time with loved ones, shopping, cooking, organizing, and traveling. I enjoy activities that heal my mind, body, and spirit and strive for a balance of work and play.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The initial session will be the first opportunity to establish comfort and safety and begin building a foundation of a trusting relationship, which is essential in your healing journey. During this session we will be able to see if we are a good fit to work together. I will meet you where you are at and explore your reasons for seeking therapy. We will also review policies and procedures, explore your goals, challenges, relevant history, and strengths as well as create a treatment plan. I will also provide you with essential information on what you can expect from me as your therapist and you are invited to ask any questions you may have about the therapeutic process.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am passionate about creating a safe, warm, welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you are heard, respected, and validated. I am committed to providing a holistic, strength based, and trauma informed approach for individualized care. I treat each client as an individual, therefore I take pride in approaching therapy from an eclectic method where I tailor the treatment method and interventions to each individual client. I believe there is no cookie cutter method to therapy.
