Hi, I’m Whitney! A Marriage & Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and family systems, including children and adolescents. I believe in the importance of finding a therapist who is a good fit, and consulting our core values can assist with that. Three of my top core values as a therapist are compassion, clear communication, and cultural humility. Compassion—I believe compassion is a step above empathy. I sit with and feel my clients’ emotions alongside them; however, I also take action to demonstrate that I am there to support them and help them. Clear Communication—I encourage collaboration and open feedback from my clients throughout the course of treatment. I strive to ensure my clients know what to expect and that we are on the same page. Furthermore, I consider myself to be direct; I never wish to waste my clients' time, and I am there to help them achieve their goals. Cultural Humility—I take a client-centered approach and hold the belief that the client is the expert on their own life. I work with an open mind, take a non-judgmental stance, refrain from making assumptions, challenge any implicit biases that may arise, and always approach my clients with curiosity. If you are interested in exploring whether we would be a good fit, please request a free Potential New Client Consultation with me. I hope to hear from you!
