Caring Counseling, Centered on You
Therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, honesty, and meaningful connection. I provide a supportive, judgment-free environment where you can openly explore challenges, gain insight into patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies for moving forward.
My approach is compassionate, engaged, and sometimes challenging. I believe meaningful change comes from a combination of understanding, personal responsibility, and a willingness to try something different. Together, we’ll tailor our work to your individual needs, goals, and circumstances.
Individual Counseling
Life can be complicated, and sometimes the strategies that once worked for us are no longer effective. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, stress, or unexpected life changes, individual counseling offers an opportunity to gain perspective and develop healthier ways of navigating challenges.
I work collaboratively with adults ages 21 and older, helping them identify patterns, build practical coping skills, and make meaningful changes that support their emotional well-being and personal growth.
Marital & Couples Counseling
Even strong relationships experience challenges. Differences in communication, unresolved conflict, emotional distance, and changes in life circumstances can leave couples feeling frustrated, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward.
I work with couples to strengthen communication, deepen emotional connection, navigate disagreements, and develop healthier relationship patterns. Counseling can also provide a supportive environment for addressing more difficult concerns, including infidelity, broken trust, and the process of rebuilding a relationship.
Whether you're working through a specific challenge or hoping to strengthen an already healthy relationship, our work will focus on understanding one another, improving communication, and creating meaningful opportunities for connection and growth.
Life Transitions & Stress Support
Change is an inevitable part of life, but that doesn't always make it easy. Career challenges, relationship changes, caregiving responsibilities, aging, grief, and shifting family roles can create uncertainty, stress, and emotional exhaustion.
Midlife, retirement, and later adulthood can bring their own unique questions about identity, purpose, relationships, and adapting to new roles.
I help adults navigate these transitions with greater confidence and perspective. Together, we'll explore the challenges you're facing, identify what is within your control, and develop practical strategies for managing stress, adapting to change, and moving forward with intention.
Important Information About Couples Counseling
Couples counseling is offered exclusively as a self-pay service at $150 per 55-minute session.
Because these sessions focus on the relationship and the needs of both partners rather than treatment of one person's diagnosed mental health condition, I do not bill insurance or provide superbills for reimbursement.

Treatment Approaches
I believe effective therapy is both supportive and practical. My approach draws from evidence-based treatments while remaining flexible enough to address each person's unique needs.
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), incorporating other therapeutic approaches when appropriate. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, develop new perspectives, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
Therapeutic approaches include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Motivational Interviewing
