I specialize in work with clients who are dealing with grief, healing from abuse, navigating women’s issues, and struggling with anxiety, depression and other life and mental health concerns. I have a special love for working with those in the LGBTQ plus community, and am passionate about offering an inclusive and healing space for all. I offer individual, family and couples counseling sessions, and enjoy working with people of all ages who are looking for growth and change.
My approach is holistic and client focused. I believe we all deserve safety, security and connection, and view my role as a provider as one who comes alongside, honoring your expertise on your own self, while providing unconditional support on your journey to healing and wellness. You are in charge of your own growth, but you don't have to go it alone.
My therapeutic focus is integrative, as I draw from complimentary modalities to meet you where you are, and best serve your needs. My style is warm, nonjudgemental and supportive. My space is centrally located and welcoming, with lots of natural light, and plenty of healthy snacks. To learn more, find me at www.matsumentalhealth.com
