Mindful Referrals

Therapy is a gift.  As a practitioner in the mental health field for over 10 years and a client of the field for even longer, I believe there is no greater gift you can give yourself.  Mindful Referrals grew out of this sentiment.  My mission is to provide a safe, nurturing and informative environment for clients who are unsure, intimidated or overwhelmed by the process of finding a therapist.  I facilitate that process with compassion and mindfulness, helping clients make a successful therapeutic connection that promotes healing, wellness and personal growth.

Why “Mindful Referrals”?

To me, mindfulness is about making decisions and choices from a place of connection rather than disconnection.  As a therapist and facilitator, I am mindful of your needs and your character—of YOU as a whole person.  While two people may have similar presenting issues, a good match with a therapist is based on much more than just a practioner's specialty.  Individuals have diverse needs and make connections with particular therapists for a variety of reasons.  The referral from your doctor’s office, children’s school or even a close friend, is not always the right fit for you or your family. The therapist’s personality, communication style, experience/expertise in specific areas and your personality, communication style and presenting issues are all taken into account when making a referral.   I am mindful of each individual client, taking everything into account before making a thoughtful and professional recommendation.
