A Big Hello to you. You are scanning all these profiles. Looking for something to stand out to make you say,"I will go with this one." It is daunting but you have made it this far. Here is the tip. Your choice is not terminal. It is absolutely ok to try multiple therapists to see who gets you the best. Who understands you the best. After each session, you should feel lighter. You may not recall all that was said, but you will note how you feel. Did you feel heard? Understood? Did the therapist talk to me like they were reading a book or did it sound like they really got me? When you get the right one, those questions will be answered with a firm, Yes. Please Note: I only provide Talk Therapy in my practice. If you are looking for letters for work, ESA, Social Security, FMLA, Family Court, etc., unfortunately I cannot help. You will need a psychological evaluation by a forensic psychologist. This agency does not provide assessments, letters for claims or appearances in court.

Interventions are tailored to each client’s needs, goals, and lived experience.

I am a Christian counselor, and my faith informs my values of compassion, dignity, and respect. I work with clients of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities, and faith is incorporated into therapy only if the client requests it. In addition to my professional role, I am a wife, lifelong learner, and mother of an autistic son, which deeply informs my empathy, patience, and understanding of caregiving, advocacy, and navigating complex systems.
