Expertise in Mental Health

More than just good advice

Couple Therapy

Learn what it takes to communicate without conflict. Rebuild trust, even from betrayal. Evaluate your parenting strategies with a knowledgable advisor.

Teen & Adolescent

Identity development in a mentoring environment. Learn how to reduce the effects of ADHD, anxiety, hopelessness, and excessive screen time. Grow self-esteem.

Mental Health

For men and women in need of a guide. Discern healthy boundaries with self and others. Decide how to best achieve your goals.

Easy Scheduling

45 or 90 minute sessions offered. Weekly, bi-weekly, or flexible with your schedule. Evening and weekend availability.

Focused on You

Your story is unique. Rinse-and-repeat protocol is out of touch. Holistic care is focused on organic change — healing that stays.

Evidence-Based Treatment

Real growth occurs when trustworthy steps are taken. Discover new sides of yourself in a contemplative and confidential environment.

Before counseling, I felt stuck and overwhelmed. Each session helped me see things in a new light and gave me practical ways to reconnect with myself and my partner. Now, I feel more hopeful, confident, and ready for what’s ahead.

Therapy gave me a safe space to open up and learn how to manage my stress. I felt truly heard and supported, and I left each session with tools that made a real difference in my daily life.

As a college student, I struggled with anxiety and self-doubt. Counseling offered a welcoming space to talk things through and find new ways to cope. I’m grateful for the encouragement and guidance that helped me move forward.

Support for every step

Common questions about counseling and what to expect.

Can I book a session online?

Scheduling is simple—book an available slot online, then you will receive an intake packet to complete electronically before your first session.

What happens during my first session?

The first session is considered an intake. I will have reviewed your packet before then. We will get to know each other and discuss more about what is bringing you to counseling. If it feels like we are a good fit, we will consider scheduling and goals for going forward.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes, depending. I want to ensure you are getting the full value of the service, and telehealth may impede my ability to provide that. We can weigh the pros and cons of this approach in person, then decide what is best for you.

Will my sessions stay private?

Yes, I adhere to all ethical guidelines of my profession, including HIPAA regulations.

What is your philosophy for working with teens?

I want to offer teens the same opportunity that adults are given — to privately explore what feels important to them. I like to meet with parents for at least one session beforehand to gain an understanding of family values and hopes for counseling, before working with their teens confidentially.

What is your philosophy for working with couples?

I am fair-minded about problem solving, and ensure that both partners genuinely feel the balance of our work. I have seen the 90 minute sessions prove highly impactful for couples in particular, because it allows for deeper conversation and plenty of time to process heavier emotions when they arise.
