Treatment at Village MHC starts with a consult call (if desired) followed by an intake appointment which allows for me to gather information about you, your strengths and your current needs. This is also a time for you to get to know me and ensure that I will be a good fit for you. A healthy therapeutic relationship is the foundation for growth.

Healthy change happens once we’re out of crisis mode. So early therapy sessions at Village MHC focus on establishing safety and developing effective coping strategies to help you navigate life’s challenges without letting them overwhelm you. You and/ or your child can expect to leave the very first session with at least one strategy to help manage dysregulated emotions.

Healing is facilitated through connection with your therapist, with yourself and with your sense of purpose. Village Mental Health Center exists to provide you with the tools and the space to achieve measurable progress and lasting results.

I have over a decade of experience working with children, teens and adults in a variety of treatment settings including residential, home-based and outpatient care.

We believe that every individual deserves a space where they feel truly seen, safe, and valued. We are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and affirming environment for all. Village Mental Health Center welcomes and celebrates people of all:

• Races, Ethnicities, and National Origins: We stand against racism and xenophobia and are committed to culturally responsive care.

• Ages and Abilities: We honor the unique experiences of every stage of life and strive to create an accessible environment for all physical and mental abilities.

• Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities, and Expressions: We are a proudly LGBTQIA+ affirming practice. We respect all identities and use chosen names and pronouns without question.

• Religions, Spiritual Beliefs, and Philosophical Outlooks: We respect and welcome diverse spiritual paths and life philosophies, ensuring your beliefs are honored in your therapeutic journey.

• Socioeconomic Statuses and Educational Backgrounds: We recognize the systemic impact of class and strive to provide equitable and accessible mental health services.

We are committed to continuous growth and learning to stay up to date on best-practice approaches to mental health care. We are trained in many treatment modalities and believe in seeing and treating the whole individual, not just a set of symptoms.
