Meet Jeri

The process of building a therapeutic relationship there has to be a level of comfort and ease with your therapist. This is important in order to be able to be able to talk about incidents from your past that are painful and difficult to face. Therapy is about what you need from your therapist. I use the person-centered approach. Everyone has a story to tell and it is important for you to not feel judged and to feel safe. As a therapist, I take my lead from you and what you want to work on to improve your situation. I believe that I can gain the information I need from you by having a conversation rather than you feeling like you are being interrogated. Your mental health is of the utmost importance to me, and as such, you set the agenda for your sessions as this is your therapy time and about what you need.

Everyone has a story to tell, and it is important for you to not feel judged and to feel safe.

Interests

I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I enjoy nature and the outdoors. I like to build things and I like to do construction for example building small outdoor structures, tiny houses, small cabins, and the remodeling process. It gives me satisfaction to take something that is old and run down and turn it into something new and repaired. I enjoy kayaking, riding ATVs, and snowmobiling. One of my other favorite things to do is travel, to experience what the world has to offer, gain new experiences, and new memories.
