Hey there, I'm Bristol. Do you find yourself daydreaming about a life where peace is more prominent than pain and discontentment? Do you feel weighed down or disconnected from yourself to the point where you have lost sight of who you are and where you're headed? My clients often define themselves as the high-achieving, motivated type, yet they come into sessions feeling stuck - as though something is keeping them from reaching their potential. They struggle to shake off the past and fully embrace themselves in the present moment. They may not even see themselves as high performers anymore because their own self-image has become clouded by doubt, fear, and insecurity. Whether it's trauma, anxiety, depression or just life, there is treatment and there is always hope. Your current reality does not have to be your forever. I help my clients find a balance between strength and vulnerability as they navigate the winding road of healing. I used a variety of evidence-based techniques to meet you where you're at and mindfully address your needs. My goal is to empower you to let go of the burdens hanging on from your past and recognize your inherent worth to move forward with a sense of relief and peace. You are strong and capable. You could do this alone, but you don't have to. I would love to be invited to join you as you take this step. Being trusted with your raw, unedited story is such an honor for me and a privilege I do not take lightly. When you feel ready, I'm here for you!

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

I believe that healing is resistant to a unilateral approach. Every human benefits from an unique "recipe" of sorts that tends to adapt depending on the stage of life they are in and the challenges they are facing. For some it may be anxiety or depression and for others it may be relational issues or past trauma. No matter your concern, I will spend time with you prior to beginning treatment to discuss your goals and determine a treatment plan that can be re-evaluated at any point throughout our time together. I take a holistic approach, which means we will look into a variety of components that complement your treatment and foster whole-body healing. This is a highly collaborative and open-ended process. While in the treatment planning phase, my goal is to present you with the "road map" and then support you in choosing which route feels best.

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

You may be reading this and still be wondering, "Is this the right step for me or my child?" I want to take a moment to validate the fact that stepping into therapy is often extremely daunting and uncomfortable. One of the areas in which I excel is helping my clients step into this space in a way that feels comfortable for them. This phase is often overlooked but I feel it's one of the most vital moments in the therapeutic relationship. I encourage my clients to show up exactly where they are at this moment because ALL parts of you are welcome here. This is your time and space, and I will be careful to ensure it's a space that cultivates authenticity, safety, and growth.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have extensive experience working with teens and young adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma. Even though this has been my primary population, I am here to welcome any new client who comes my way. I believe the therapeutic relationship is strongest when both parties feel confident that it is a good fit.
