As a therapist at Wildflower, it is an honor and a privilege to be invited to accompany people exploring life situations and relationships. I approach the therapeutic relationship with empathy, curiosity, and openness and practice from a trauma-informed lens. I take a person-centered approach, work to meet clients where they are at, and adapt to…
Solutions-Focused Therapy
Tawnya Blanford
All of us are in the process of becoming. Our personal and collective experiences—past and present—shape how we feel inside ourselves, how we relate to others, and how easily we can access calm, connection, and self-compassion.

Chrissy is currently not accepting new clients. I came to this work the long way around.

That…

Natalie Hall
In both my professional and personal life, I have found one thing to be true: we are most receptive to change when we feel safe and understood. As a psychotherapist, it is my responsibility and desire to cultivate this space in each session. I believe that therapy is most successful when approached through a systemic,…
Gina Kirberg
I know what it’s like to feel stuck, like something isn’t right but you’re not sure what to do or where to start. Maybe you find yourself overwhelmed, lonely, or isolated. Maybe you feel like you’re hiding pieces of yourself from others, or you’ve noticed a shift in how you manage stress. Maybe it feels…
