Professional statement

Nashel believes clients are experts on themselves and considers her clients emotions, feelings and self-observations. Combining a client’s ability to look within themselves paired with a controlled environment helps clients grow, learn more about themselves than they may have realized was there, and most importantly, find comfort.

Nashel provides validation, coping skills, observations of patterns, CBT and mindfulness techniques during her sessions. Most importantly, she offers her clients a safe place to talk without fear of judgment or rejection. She strives to make her sessions as comfortable for the client as possible, and can adapt sessions to meet the needs of each client for a unique approach to in-person therapy.

Message to clients

Right now, you probably feel misunderstood. You think that your feelings are unnatural, or that someone will judge you when you say you are seeing a therapist. I completely understand. Mental health is not just a struggle within, but a struggle with those around you. When you are working with me, however, there is no judgment. Instead, I’m here to offer you a safe, compassionate space where we can work together to overcome your struggles.

Whether it is anxiety, depression, or something more severe, I tailor my approach to your needs and we will explore various techniques to find what works best for you to accelerate the healing process. You know you best, but I make it my job to get to know you just as well so that we can work together effectively. I am your partner in the healing process, and I’m here not just for the issues you face today, but those in the future too.

My approach is all about you.
