Great to meet you!

Hello there, my name is Josie! I enjoy being a therapist because I have experienced the benefits of therapy myself, I enjoy working with people, and I believe life is worth living, but sometimes we need an extra person in our corner to help us navigate the ups and downs of this life.

My approach to therapy

Mental Health is not your identify and I want to get to know YOU! I want individuals to feel like they are working towards their goals, experiencing relief, and finding out they had more strength inside them than they might have thought before! My hope is that we are always working towards graduation and addressing the things that are most important to you!

I am trained in Perinatal Mental Health, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I have experience using Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Short-Term or Solution-Focused Therapy, Talk Therapy, Psychoeducation, and Person-Centered Therapy.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be getting an understanding of your interest in therapy, your goals in therapy, and what you're looking for in a therapist! You can expect questions, mindfulness activities, coping skill exploration, goal setting, and maybe a few pieces of documentation! ;)
