about usVision Statement
Our long-term vision of growth is to expand through collaboration with other mental healthcare professionals and organizations that are devoted to the emotional health and wellbeing of children, adolescents, adults, and families. We are committed to challenging the stigma of mental health. Stigma profoundly changes how people feel about themselves and the way others see them. Our belief is that everyone should be treated with dignity, respect and offered support and encouragement. We work on an ongoing basis to implement the best available evidenced-based practice standards. We strive to empower our clients to expand their inner strengths and skills to work toward improved emotional health and wellbeing.
OUR APPROACHMission Statement
Our approach is simple, the relationship between the client and therapist is pivotal. The relationship is unique in that for many clients it is the first intimate connection they have had with another person where profound feelings, beliefs and thoughts are explored. The foundation our work is anchored in nurturing a meaningful relationship with you. Cultivating an emotional bond of trust, compassion, care, and respect; agreement on the goals of your therapy; and collaboration on our work together is essential. Gracefully Redefined Counseling and Wellness offers comprehensive assessment and mental health services for individuals, children, teens, and families. We provide therapeutic interventions that are based on empirical research combined with clinical training, experience and specifically designed to meet your unique individual needs.
Our long term goals are to create a team of mental health therapists who provide our clients with attentive, empathetic, and reflective partnership in the exploration of their lives. This entails assembling a team of clinicians that can make informed, evidence-based decisions, provide high-quality services reflecting the interests, values, and individual needs of our clients, and guide them on a path to greater wellness and emotional wellbeing. Our goals are to establish a cohesive team where team members feel cared for, included, motivated, recognized, and supplied with learning opportunities to grow and develop as professionals.
Core Values
Our core values serve as the guide for our thoughts, feelings, actions, and expressions.
Our approach is deeply rooted in methods that validate where you’ve been and clarify where you’re going.
Creativity
Creativity allows us to explore parts of ourselves that may otherwise remain hidden, fostering personal growth and self-discovery. By embracing your individuality, we tap into innovative approaches that align with your personal journey and aspirations. Through this process, you will uncover new perspectives and develop tools to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.
Virtue
We are committed to upholding everyone’s rights, advocating for them, ensuring fair treatment, and providing access to services. Our practice is guided by the principle of doing no harm, promoting emotional well-being, and helping those in our care improve their circumstances. We prioritize honesty, integrity, and faithfulness in our relationships, promises, and work.
Consistency
The confidence and trust required for our collaborative work and therapeutic approach is developed through reliable contact and clear communication. Consistency fosters a safe space where clients feel supported and valued, knowing they can depend on our unwavering commitment to their personal growth.
Empathy
Striving to identify with your specific situation and to have a sense of your feelings and emotions related to your individual needs. Offering a high level of empathy enhances trust and the quality of care that you deserve. Empathy allows us to create a space where you feel truly seen and heard, fostering a deep sense of connection and understanding. It is through this compassionate presence that we can explore the challenges you face with care and without judgment.
Sensitivity
Appreciating and respecting diversity and cultural differences of each individual and considering the many multidimensional aspects of their lives. We strive to provide services that reflect the context of everyone’s needs and to do so in a way that extends cultural humility, sensitivity and compassion.
Integration
Becoming your genuine, authentic self in mind, body, and spirit. Therapy works in facilitating a sense of wholeness in a person’s being and functioning. We discover ourselves moving towards integration when we gain insight into our experiences and when we have a sense of feeling “at home” with self, and at ease with others.
Let’s Begin With a Conversation
Starting therapy is a meaningful step, and finding the right fit is an essential part of the process. That’s why I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation—a no-pressure opportunity for us to connect.
During this time, we can get to know one another, explore whether we’re the right match for your needs, and discuss how I can support you on your journey. I’m here to answer any questions you may have about the therapeutic process, my approach, or what working together might look like.
This is your space to feel heard, supported, and valued from the very beginning. Let’s take the first step together toward creating a life defined by hope, resilience, and grace.
