Hi there, I'm Bridget, Our world is a busy and ever-changing place. With these changes can come stressors that can lead to anxiety, depression and interpersonal struggles. Do you find yourself unable to focus, or maybe struggling to enjoy things you once loved? Sometimes, we all need a place to be heard and understood. Sometimes, we just need some space to share and explore our own emotions in a non-judgemental and unbiased space. There is no "one size fits all" approach to therapy, I am honored to have the opportunity to work with you to achieve your goals and find peace. I practice an open, empathic approach to therapy using multiple different evidence-based modalities to help find a good fit for you as an individual. Reaching out for help can be difficult and takes a great deal of strength, I am so glad you are here and taking these first steps. Whether you are dealing with interpersonal struggles, depression, anxiety, trauma, life stressors or other concerns, I will meet you with compassion and understanding, and walk alongside you on this journey to healing and growth.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
the first session is a big step, and can be anxiety provoking, especially not knowing what to expect. I offer a safe, warm, open and comfotable space for you to ask questions you may have about the theraputic process as well as any questions you may have for me. I like to use this time to allow for getting to know one another and to begin to build the trust and safety, building rapport that is so important to the theraputic process. This space is for you and I allow you to lead the session, offering guidance and direction as needed as we get to know one another and work to set forth goals to work towards together as a team.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize many different evidence-based modalities, working with you to determine what works best as we are all individuals and have unique needs. I utilize CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Motivational Interviewing and family systems therapies. I am also trained in EMDR.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am passionate about working with individuals to better their lives and work through struggles that may arise in life. I enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults and have a passion for assisting those who may be experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety and the results of trauma. I have spent considerable time working with military personnel and their families as well as first responders and families.
