The NEST is a boutique mental health and wellness clinic located in beautiful downtown Stillwater. While we specialize in concerns related to the reproductive cycle across the lifespan, we also work with a wide variety of mental health conditions in men, women and adolescents. We are currently hiring fully licensed full and part-time clinicians.

We are accepting new clients! Canvas Health is celebrating more than 50 years of bringing hope, healing, and recovery to the lives of people we serve.

My hope is to offer you a safe, non-judgemental and curious place to talk about what you find most important. I believe in holding a flexible and collaborative space in order to create a culture of healing and hope. I believe in standing with social justice and cultural diversity and am a LGBTQIA allied provider. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated for change and I can help maintain an open, curious and compassionate lens through our work together.

I'm passionate about supporting individuals who are going through a life changing experience. We will work together to uncover the anxiety or depression that you may struggling with. I help my clients achieve their goals and provide a safe and non-judgmental space for them to explore their thoughts and feelings. I believe you can overcome any obstacle.

Starting out with a new therapist or beginning therapy for the first time can feel scary, maybe even downright terrifying. I offer a laid-back place to show up as you are without judgement, talk about the hard stuff that we inevitably experience through life, and maybe have a laugh or two in the process. I approach therapy as a collaboration. We are a team. You set the destination you want to get to, and I’m here to help you navigate.

My approach is focused on the solutions you want to achieve. When you work with me, we will articulate what it is you want and need to move forward, and then we will harvest the unique strengths you already have to get there. We will collaborate on changing the aspects of your behavior that are not working for you. My approach does not begin and end with problems or the past—we only make those inquiries in order to frame solutions for the present. My work draws from several theoretical frameworks, including CBT, Internal Family Systems, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, CPT, and EMDR to help you achieve your goals and aspirations

I believe that healing is possible regardless of whatever obstacles you have previously faced and that everyone deserves to live the life they truly want. Clients say that working with me is like having a personal cheerleader in their pocket, someone who sees the best in them. My sessions are supportive, warm, friendly, validating, and empowering. I believe that good therapy will be impactful on your healing journey. I strive to create a judgment-free space so you can fully and authentically express yourself in sessions. I also speak Spanish.

Do any of the following sound familiar? You feel anxious, irritable, or overwhelmed most days. You notice that no matter how successful you are, or how much you have achieved, you still struggle with feeling “not good enough.” You often don't know what you want or need, and sacrifice your own well-being to meet the needs of others. You want to find meaning and joy in life, but find that most days you are just trying to get by and survive. If you're looking for a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space to do this work then let's talk.

I’m so glad you’re here! I believe we all have this inspired capacity to transform old feelings, behaviors, and patterns, and to rewire our brains to heal our hearts and relationships. I value integrative and holistic health, and enjoy incorporating the "whole-you" in session: your mind, body, heart & soul. We'll focus on healing the relationship in and amongst these parts of you, resulting in a more integrated feeling of a-well-and-good YOU. Therapy works best when we can allow the full human experience; humor, tears, anger, anxiety, joy... I won't shy away from the messiness and instead will encourage us to jump into the depth.
