My Approach to Helping

For some of us, the challenges around dealing with childhood trauma seem extraordinary. Maybe you have found that depression has become more difficult to process alone. Perhaps you are considering solutions to reduce panic-related symptoms, or you have tried them more than once but to no avail to reduce anxiety.

Together, we will explore your feelings, circumstances, and options. I will help you grow in coping with what is right before you and navigating your present and future. Our sessions will be safe spaces, full of empathy and devoid of judgment - you can bring your genuine thoughts and feelings. You can fully express yourself, which is essential to healing and growth. Empathy is the center of facilitating an environment where you can share your struggles and feel comfortable doing so. You can encounter a non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship. Whether you are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, or struggling with self-esteem and self-worth, you will find an advocate in your corner through support and encouragement. As a Christian, I am happy to offer prayer if desired.

More Info About My Practice

I offer therapy sessions online and am available most weekdays and Tuesday evenings; additionally, I have Saturday mornings available for working clients.

In-network with many insurance companies but also offer a sliding scale for discounted options if your insurance does not cover counseling services. Please reach out with any questions. I am happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable.

My Therapy Focus

I specialize in clients struggling with trauma, anxiety, and depression. In addition, I am familiar with the IVF process and understanding infertility. During our initial sessions, we will understand the underlying issues and create a plan to help you reach your goals. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to help you progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to improve your feelings.
