Hi there, I'm Mandi!

Congratulations on choosing to invest in yourself by engaging in therapy. I'm here to help you get the most out of it. I specialize in working with couples and individuals navigating addictions, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a person-centered, collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.

My focus

My ideal clients are adult couples or individuals who are self-motivated to improve their life circumstances and interested in learning more about themselves.

My approach

I follow your lead while providing direction where helpful. With couples, I use the Gottman Method to assess problems and create a treatment plan. With individuals, my approach is humanistic and cognitive-behavioral. Trauma is addressed with prolonged exposure or narrative therapy. I keep you informed and check in frequently about your goals.

My communication style

My communication style is empathetic and gentle, yet direct. I want to hear what you say, because it is your time. But I'll always be honest when you want feedback.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started out working in substance use disorders, which sparked my interest in co-occurring mental health conditions. Along the way, I developed an interest in forensic psychology and began working with people in civil and forensic facilities. I also began providing supervision to other clinicians. I am always growing and evolving in this field.

My goals for you

I help clients reach goals by frequently discussing progress and needed adjustments. Accountability is huge if you say you are going to work on something, don't be surprised when I ask you about it the next week.

Our first session

At the first session, I ask that you show up, tell me a little bit about what you are looking to accomplish, and share with me about any previous therapy experiences.
