Therapy is for everyone! I dislike how diagnoses have pathologized mental health. I don't even like the term "mental health". Rather I see people as whole people with the aspects of Head, Heart, Body, and Spirit. When these aspects of yourself are out of alignment, then you will see it reflected in your life. Together with your own wisdom, I will help guide you back to balance. Of course, if you are using insurance, I do have to give you a diagnosis and I will help you to understand why I chose it.

I want to know what you want help with and I will match your pacing. If you are wanting better strategies to deal with stress, then I will stay present focused and help you develop strategies. If you are wanting to dive into multiple failed relationship and why that might be happening to you, then I will help you go deeper and look at core beliefs and patterns of attachment.

Financial cost is a huge barrier. Thankfully, the rise of telehealth and steady internet service has removed most of the previous physical barriers. I offer a sliding fee scale to do my part to make therapy more financially accessible. If you are experiencing financial hardship, please inquire about my sliding fee scale.

I gained much knowledge and expertise from six years of working as a social worker on an acute psychiatric hospital unit. This experience allowed me to see mental health issues at their worst and recognize that much more often than not, people have the resources and capacity within them to recover from mental health issues. I continue to be passionate to help others find these inner resources before a mental health crisis develops.
