How I Can Support Your Healing Journey at Blackbird Mental Health
Choosing the right therapist is one of the most important decisions you can make for your mental and emotional well-being. At Blackbird Mental Health, I offer a unique approach to therapy that combines years of experience, a deep understanding of neurodivergent individuals, and a compassionate, client-centered focus. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, working through trauma, or seeking to improve your mental health, I can help you create lasting change.
A Personalized Approach to Therapy
I take the time to understand you as a whole person. I recognize that each individual has their own history, needs, and goals, and I tailor my approach to fit you. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, or any other challenge, I will work with you to create a treatment plan that aligns with your personal values and goals.
I believe in treating each person as an individual, not just a diagnosis. My goal is to make sure you feel seen, heard, and understood, and to collaborate with you to find the best path forward for your healing.
Specialized Experience with Diverse Populations
With over 10 years of experience as a special education teacher, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a strong understanding of neurodivergence. Whether you are neurodivergent, dealing with autism spectrum disorder, or navigating mental health challenges, I use my expertise to create an environment where you feel respected, supported, and empowered.
In addition to my background in education, I’ve worked with a variety of clients using a blend of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and traditional talk therapy. These evidence-based techniques are tailored to meet your unique needs and goals.
A Focus on Trauma-Informed Care
I approach therapy through a trauma-informed lens. I understand that trauma is often at the root of many emotional and mental health struggles, and my goal is to help you work through those experiences in a way that feels safe, supportive, and empowering. With my training in EMDR, I can help you process unresolved trauma, allowing you to heal at your own pace.
Healing is personal, and I make sure to work with you in a way that respects your comfort level and fosters a sense of empowerment throughout the process.
Client-Centered, Compassionate, and Non-judgmental
I believe the therapeutic relationship is built on trust, respect, and open communication. I create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely without fear of criticism. You won’t feel rushed or pressured during our sessions—I’m committed to making sure you have the time and space to process your thoughts and emotions at your own pace.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions, I’m here to help you navigate those challenges with empathy and understanding.
Flexible Options for Therapy
At Blackbird Mental Health, I offer both in-person and teletherapy options to make therapy accessible no matter where you are. Whether you prefer to meet in person or through a secure video call, I want to ensure that you have the flexibility to receive the care you need.
Commitment to Personal Growth and Healing
I’m dedicated to supporting you on your healing journey. My approach goes beyond helping you manage symptoms—I want to help you create lasting change and growth. Whether you’re working on building emotional resilience, overcoming procrastination, or learning how to handle difficult emotions, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
A Holistic Approach to Well-Being
Mental health isn’t just about treating symptoms; it’s about fostering overall well-being—mind, body, and spirit. I encourage you to incorporate daily practices such as mindfulness, physical movement, and journaling into your life to support your mental health. This holistic approach helps create lasting change that goes beyond traditional therapy.
