Welcome to River Wards Wellness Collective and please accept my recognition and support of you in taking care of yourself by considering therapy. Thank you for being here!
I am deeply passionate about facilitating connection within and among people. My work with clients is a partnership in which I aim to help you identify and reduce barriers on your path, while we lean into your strengths and goals. Initially trained as a trauma-informed cognitive-behavioral therapist, I have expanded my work to pull from emotions-focused modalities and relational and systems approaches. This multi-dimensional method allows us to fully understand your experience and more precisely meet your needs as you pursue the change you’d like to make.
My approach is strongly client-centered, utilizing interventions that enhance empowerment, learning, and expanded perspectives that lead to tangible positive change in the spirit of collaboration, compassion, and curiosity. Together these elements reduce barriers to wellness while offering effective pathways toward sustainable improvement. I specialize in strengths-based counseling, motivation building toward goals that are important to you, and a mindfulness method adapted to meet you where you are.
Informally, I take an interest in sports psychology and fitness, exploring the relationship between mind and body in a range of contexts.
Walking with you on your journey is a privilege and I look forward to being a supportive guide either in-person or remote.
