“I believe that every person’s story matters, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside individuals as they pursue healing and growth. Whether someone is facing anxiety, relational struggles, or spiritual questions, my goal is to provide a supportive space where they feel seen, heard, and encouraged to take steps toward meaningful change.”
Libby offers a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy. Clients can expect a safe space to explore their experiences while engaging in a process that is holistic, relational and action oriented. She works with both individuals and families, supporting them through a variety of emotional, behavioral and relational challenges.
Libby draws from evidence-based practices such as motivational interviewing (MI), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT), and Parent Management Training – Oregon Model (PMTO). Her therapeutic style integrates structure and flexibility to meet the needs of each client, whether working with children, teens, or adults. Clients working with Libby may focus on navigating depression, anxiety, parenting concerns, life transitions, spiritual struggles, or relationship issues. Sessions may involve reflection, problem-solving, skill-building, and exploring underlying patterns to foster both personal and relational growth.
