our visionsafe. supportive. present.

The idea of starting our own mental health practice has been a long awaited dream.

For us, Mindful Roots is more than just a name of a practice. It’s an opportunity to give individuals and couples of all backgrounds and diversities a place to be fully present in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Simplifying your life and bringing awareness to aspects of yourself is something that we’re all deserving of.

We believe that surrounding our clients with genuine warmth, encouragement, and empathy, creates an authentic space to heal and grow. Learn about our therapists.

Humans are amazing.

 

We have the ability to grow and change so many aspects of ourselves, even when things seem impossible. Growing up, I traveled 3 hours round trip for therapy, so it’s a dream of mine to be able to offer space for those seeking understanding of themselves, without traveling to a big city. Therapy isn’t easy. It takes a balance of grit and grace, but I’ll be here to support you through it all.

 

I see things from a person-centered/humanistic approach, focusing on empathy and compassion while encouraging change and growth.


What I’m doing in between sessions?

Either fixing something, changing a diaper, or sitting down then immediately standing back up.

Life is messy.

 

As a therapist, I’ll help you take all of that messiness and rearrange it into something beautiful. Growth is a process and therapy isn’t easy, but I will be with you every step of the way! It is so important to me for people to have a comfortable and welcoming place to go when living in a small town. I pride myself in providing an inclusive, affirmative, and empowering environment.

 

My therapy style is very eclectic. I like to combine different therapy approaches to best help both individuals and couples. I will strive to help you find your true self. I will help you become more self-aware and self-accepting, and help you live in the moment instead of focusing on the past or the future.

 

What am I doing when I’m not being a therapist? Practicing patience at home with a toddler and finding comfort in the simple ways of doing things.

Services + Ratestherapy can be simple.

We believe that therapy can be simple. Not easy, but simple . . .

COUPLES THERAPY

In relationships, things ebb and flow. A "normal couple" doesn't exist, so take that pressure off of yourselves. More and more couples are seeking out therapy as a way to learn better communication and reconnect to their partner.

For some, seeking out couples therapy can be even more stigmatizing than individual therapy. We have to change it. As humans, we want to have the answers and become frustrated when things aren’t healthy in our relationships. Therapy is a place of unbiased support where we offer insight into how to bring clarity to your relationship.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Whether it's in person or virtual, therapy is a time where you can work on yourself and develop a better understanding of who you are, who you want to be, and how to get there.

Individual therapy is an opportunity to challenge negative beliefs, improve self-worth, and gain momentum to make changes in your life.

We both have extensive knowledge and training working with individuals of many backgrounds and reasons of seeking therapy.
