Introduction

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 12 years experience providing counseling services to teens, adults, couples and families. I'm a Certified Prepare Enrich Facilitator for couples therapy (Traditional and Christian approaches) and also a 22Zero Follow Me, Inc. Certified Resiliency Coach for TRP & EMP trauma processes. I offer clients a safe space to discuss their concerns that is both non-judgmental and affirming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is primarily used in my practice along with other therapeutic approaches to meet your need. In your initial session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and determine the most appropriate ways to make progress. Through CBT, we'll navigate how unhealthy thoughts affect your mood and response to people, places, and situations. During sessions, I'll help you learn how to restructure your thoughts, regulate emotions, and improve functioning. I work with clients who may be struggling with adjustment to life changing events, depression, anxiety, and trauma related to their relationships or family. Many of my clients notice a decrease in symptoms and an increase in functioning after 3-4 active sessions. Through my humorous, yet authentic, solution-oriented, and holistic approach in therapy sessions, I empower you to think, feel, and walk in hope that change is possible for you. If you're ready to begin the journey of hope toward change, then contact us for a new client consultation. Currently offering virtual video sessions ONLY with weekday evening availability. For new clients with insurance, all in-network insurance billing for services are handled through a third-party provider. Rates and services may vary based on coverages of your insurance plan. Please email or call for more information and determine if your concern is billable through insurance.
