Hi there! I'm Stacy, a social worker, working as a therapist. I pride myself on making my clients feel at ease when sharing space with me. Coming to therapy can be vulnerable and scary. When we meet, the space will be free of judgment and criticism; you will be met with affirmations, validations, maybe some questions, and pause to consider a different lens.
My approach
My approach to therapy is to position myself in the passenger seat of your journey. You will hold control of the topics we discuss. I may inquire about or suggest we stall to unpack a topic that you are not quite ready for. That's OK! Just know, I will definitely ask to circle back around to it at some point. You have the authority to retain autonomy in sessions is my priority.
My focus
Have you spent the bulk of your lifetime caring for others, putting their needs above your own? Are you ready to prioritize your own well-being, but unsure where to start? Or holding feelings of guilt or shame for wanting to take care of yourself? Let's unpack that! You are worth the care you have been giving to others! It takes time, work, patience, self-love, and acceptance to repave that path to your well-being.
My communication style
I hope you'll feel supported and validated when you and I work together. I hope you'll feel seen and heard. I come from a place of no judgment; no apologies necessary - be your authentic self, as will I.
My journey to mental healthcare
I've always been a helper and drawn to listening and caring for others. When tragedy struck my immediate family, I knew I needed to make my personal niche, a professional role.
My goals for you
Goal setting is a team approach. You can see how you want to get there, but maybe not the path you want to take. I can suggest, opening doors, creating pathways to that goal. Remember - life is a journey not just getting to the goal.
My first session with you
First session with me will be a lot of getting to know each other and determining if I am the right fit for you. Moving forward bring your burdens, lay them down, walk away lighter with perhaps a new approach or perspective and some solid workable techniques in your pocket to use for the next time you encounter a similar situation.
