About me

Hello! My name is Meredith and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Mental Health Services Provider who has been working in this field for 12 years. I have seen a wide array of challenges that we, as humans, experience on a regular basis. While building a strong therapeutic alliance with you, we will determine together how to best navigate whatever brought you to make the courageous decision to seek help.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, it's important to me for us to establish a level of trust. I very much want to get to know more about you and what brought you to therapy in the first place. Ideally, you will feel put at ease during this session as you will see that we can go at your pace. We can discuss your goals and make a plan together for moving forward in therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths are building trust, allowing others to feel safe, seen and heard, and assisting people in finding solutions that are most helpful for them. While I am not of the belief that therapists are here to offer advice, I do believe we are here to work together to find steps to cope with issues that may feel insurmountable.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have enjoyed assisting people with a wide variety of life struggles and mental health challenges. I've worked with women and adolescent girls who have eating disorders, men and women who were recently released from prison and taking on the huge task of re-entering society, adults and adolescents who have substance use issues, and people struggling with a wide variety of life changes and mental health diagnoses.

My treatment methods

Humanistic

Humanistic therapy is a mental health approach focusing on your own free will, personal growth and becoming the strongest and healthiest version of ourselvdes.. Instead of focusing on past flaws or mental illness, it views you as the expert on your own life, using empathy and acceptance to help you self-heal.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is an action-oriented approach to psychotherapy that stems from traditional behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Clients begin to learn to stop avoiding and struggling with their inner emotions and begin accepting that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations. Regardless of what is going on in a client's life, ACT allows the client to move forward with the understanding that we must accept whatever life throws and expect some idealized version we often wish we had.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is a short-term, action-based approach to therapy in which we begin to see how our thinking and our actions affect our daily existence. This type of therapy focuses on the present rather than past events. Together, we can break down bigger issues into smaller, more manageable challenges.

Attachment-based

Attachment-based therapy is a brief, process-oriented form of counseling. The therapeutic relationship is based on developing or rebuilding trust and centers on expressing emotions. Therapy with an attachment-based approach looks back on the individual's life beginning with the time they were an infant and all the way through adulthood. It examines the way a person's earliest experiences with a primary caregiver (usually a parent or parents) has led the client to development relationships throughout life. Attachment-based therapy aims to build or rebuild a trusting, supportive relationship that will help prevent or treat mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

DBT is an excellent modality for a multitude of mental health challenges, and is especially useful for anxiety and depression. Through DBT, we learn to slow down, breathe through challenging moments, and use mindfulness to alter our minds and bodies to a calmer state.

With my first visit I quickly felt comfortable, much faster than I expected. She was a fantastic listener and gave wonderful feedback. She even helped find the words when I got stuck on them lol. I look forward to future sessions!

After my first visit with her, I felt welcomed and as if I was speaking to a lifelong friend. Not once did I feel judged or as if I was not being heard. I would recommend her to anyone needing someone to talk to.
