Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Mercy!

My job is to hold space for you; space to calm the storm, room to be honest with your commitment to self, and freedom to recognize the courage it took to get this far.

My approach

I’m here to help with unconditional positive regard and solution-focused treatment options as we build our plan together.

My focus

I have worked with clients as little as 3 years old to 50+. Some clients appreciate play, while others appreciate art, and we all learn a little psychoeducational to help our toolbox grow.

My communication style

The session's tone is often led by deep breathing to center and prepare us for the work to be done. This type of tone allows us to take a moment to reflect and gives us space for thought on each topic. We seek to find that peaceful equilibrium in each session.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being a therapist is a calling, and healing is a journey. That journey lends experience, wisdom, considerate change, and ultimately growth for both the client and the therapist. I am a lifetime learner of people (myself included).

My goals for you

Short-term and long-term goals are important. Finding ways to reward and keep ourselves accountable are just as significant. We come for a reason, and finding ways to track those changes are an important part of the "process."

My first session with you

Our first session includes mindfulness, deep breathing, recognizing locus of control, and usually a little more of my background that can help fill in the blanks.
