Do you feel overwhelmed these days? Are you constantly trying to strike a balance between the demands of work and parenting or co-parenting, while also managing your health, housework, and perhaps other demands? In your family, does the caretaking always fall to you? Are you experiencing depression and anxiety in reaction to either a past trauma and/or burnout from stress? I work with women who are experiencing what I like to call "multiple-role fatigue". I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma-related stress disorders common to women who face an ever-mounting load of responsibilities in a complex society, where being a mother or a caretaker often comes with diverse challenges and responsibilities. I also like to work with clients on their recovery from trauma. With this in mind, I incorporate various treatment modalities, where healing and recovery can take place through a combination of compassionate conversation, active listening, homework assignments journaling, mindfulness, self-reflection, cognitive behavior therapy, grief counseling, boundary setting and trauma-informed care. I also offer a faith-based support, where clients seeking a Christian approach are welcome. I like to form a supportive alliance with caregivers to help them navigate the demands of parenting a child or children with higher needs. I focus on parental needs, and I work with clients using evidence-based techniques to empower them to achieve balance and experience lasting well-being. For parents, I'm a big advocate of self-care, and I help my clients learn to nurture themselves in a sustainable way to avoid burnout. I also believe that parents need to feel seen and heard, and the stress of parenting cannot be overemphasized. Forming a partnership with parents, giving them a forum in which they feel consistently supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental way, therefore, is one of my top priorities as a therapist.

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we’ll start with brief introductions, then dive through not the specific challenges you’re facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I've always been good at forming connections with young people. It seems to be my gift as a clinician. I also love counseling from a faith-based perspective, as my Christianity has become a large part of my identity. I find that I am most in my element when I can speak freely about Jesus and what the Good News from the gospel means for the healing of humanity.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Women survivors of domestic abuse. Trauma survivors, and Christian counseling.

She's an absolute pleasure to speak to, I normally hate talking but I felt like I could tell her anything and everything. Ive only had one session so far and I can tell this is going to be my best experience yet for therapy. Thank you so much Mrs. Blair, im so very excited to see and work with you again next week! If anybody reading this needs any deciding factors on choosing a therapist, this is it! Especially if you are open and willing, or even wanting to share your faith, she is the one 🙏💜

I have had a few sessions with Blair and plan to have many more as needed. She is very open minded and nonjudgmental. I would say she has a very warm, and soft approach which I like so it is not so overwhelming for me. If you need someone to talk to and listens to what you have to say, she is the one!

My treatment methods

EMDR

I’ve seen success with countless clients suffering from relational trauma and trauma using this approach, and for this reason I have become a true believer in its efficacy to heal trauma from an evidence-based, neurological biological standpoint. Talk therapy alone does not address the roots of deeper trauma. I like to use a combination of techniques, with EMDR always at the forefront when it comes to providing relief to those with a traumatic history.

Christian Counseling

The Christian life is one I embraced many years ago when I first became a mother. I believe strongly in the truths found in Scripture, and offer a faith-based approach for clients who are seeking to incorporate this into their therapy sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Thinking about our thinking isn’t always easy. I challenge my clients to take a closer look at their thoughts patterns, bring them into question, and assign homework designed help clients on their journey towards healthier, balanced ways to interpret their life circumstances.
