Our Mission and Values

Our Values

It is important to us that during this process you feel heard, you feel listened to, you feel safe. We want this to an experience founded on collaboration and openness, where you feel comfortable being vulnerable, allowing for change and growth.

We find it helpful that we work together with other members of your health care team. With the client’s permission, we are happy to work with your medical care provider to ensure that you are receiving the most well rounded and collaborative care. Here are some things that are important to us as clinicians and human beings.

Collaboration: It is important to us that this is relationship founded on collaboration and care. We work together to create an outcome that you desire. We find it important to also collaborate with other members of your family and professionals in your life in order to support helpful and lasting change.

Professionalism: We want you to feel that your experience reflects one of professionalism. We know that you have expectations for care, and we think everyone should. We strive to meet those expectations and are open to conversations when you feel they are not being met.

Dependable: So many things in life are unexpected and unknown. We hope that you feel that we are there for you when you are need. That you can trust us to be on this journey with you, and if we are not the right ones for you, that we help guide you to that thing or person.

Calming: we hope that you we can reflect this value in your life or work together if find calm in your life.

Honoring Diversity and Inclusion: It is so important to us that we work from a lens of diversity and inclusion. As a white, hetero-normative, anglo-protestant therapist, I hold a lot of privilege. I hold a lot of privilege because of my race, sexuality, religion and because of my ethnicity. Knowing this, accepting this, is essential to understanding how this may impact my work as a therapist. Accessibility to care is strongly impacted by privilege. It is a privilege to be able to access health care in the United States. For this reason I do offer a sliding scale fee when possible. I am also happy to provide you with other referrals and resources.

Honoring Culture: We are a diverse population. We come from varying cultures and even within the same culture we have unique experiences. I strive to not assume my understanding of your culture but at the same time, it is important that I educate myself on varying cultures. The meaning we give things changes for each of us. I will strive to understand your experience and your meaning and not assume.

Sensitivity to Minorities & “Othering”: In our society there is a dominant way of being, that which is “normal” and accepted by societal standards. All other ways are seen as “not-normal”. That way of thinking can often cause a lot of shame, doubt, confusion in people. I strive to be sensitive to any one that does not fit that majority and how together we can support and allow you to re-find your power and strength within this society.
