My approach includes trauma-informed care. I really like to use a holistic approach and will work with clients on learning skills for self-care, communication, and coping with stress that best fit their lives even once they have reached their goals!

Work on exercises for you to decide what positive changes you wish to see in your life. Therapy is a joint effort and I encourage you to let me know how you feel it is going, or if there are areas where you wish to shift our focus.

I feel that I present as calm and compassionate. My sessions can tend to be pretty relaxed, and somewhat casual.

During these past few years, Anxiety and Depression have increased by 25%! So, most people that I work with are experiencing some related symptoms. I have an extensive history of working with trauma and its many effects.

The pandemic caused such a need for therapists that I was able to branch out on my own and go into private practice, which I love!

I am Ruth Westfall, a licensed Social Worker, with nearly 30 years of experience as a therapist. I am passionate about getting to know my clients and seeing them heal and overcome life's challenges.
