Licensed Mental Health Therapist

I love my job. I love watching clients have “aha” moments. I love celebrating clients’ gains and watching their hard work pay off for them. I love to see clients navigate life’s difficult transitions and use that time to grow, not just survive.

As a therapist I am willing to challenge clients, say the hard truths, and expect to see change. My therapy style isn’t to validate everything my clients say and think. If that was working, you wouldn’t be coming to therapy. My style isn’t primarily about insight, either. Insight is a start, but it isn’t enough. I am actively looking for clients to see change in their lives, and for the things they learn to be skills they can practice long after our time together is over. If you want to read even more, please see my Welcome Letter.

I believe deeply in the power of empathy and kindness. I am trauma informed and trained. I honor both the resilience and frailty of the human condition.

I see clients aged 18+ struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, relationship issues, grief, loss, spirituality, life transitions, and recovery from abusive relationships. I draw from a variety of modalities including motivational interviewing, existential therapy, solution focused therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am EMDR trained. I am also trained in ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), another trauma intervention. Read this article for a comparison of EMDR and ART.

I offer a free 30 minute consultation for potential clients who want individual therapy. The consultation can be virtual, in person, or via phone. Contact me if you’d like to set something up.

I do not offer couples therapy at this time, but I do offer Discernment Counseling, a 5-session protocol for couples on the brink of divorce. I also work as a Divorce Coach for couples who are in the divorce process. I offer a free 15 minute consultation for each of these services. Contact me if you’d like to schedule a consultation!

For individual therapy clients, I accept Wellmark and out of state Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, Cigna, Midland’s Choice, Medicaid, and private pay. My self pay rate for therapy is $190 for your first appointment and $170 after that.
