About

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” ---James Baldwin If you’re seeking change I want you to know that you are not alone and help is available. I’ve been a therapist since 2002 and I offer integrative therapeutic services that mirror my professional values. Integrative therapy is a progressive form of psychotherapy that combines different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the unique individual needs of each client. I approach counseling with genuine curiosity. I have confidence in my client's ability to determine their own definition of a life worth living. Therefore, you can expect warmth, a direct informality, evidenced based practices, experience, and a playful spirit permeating throughout my work. In-person and telehealth sessions are available. Video telehealth sessions offer the same quality of service as in-person counseling, but from the comfort of any private spot with an internet connection. If you have insurance, to better understand what you need to pay, please inquire about your coverage with your insurance provider. The billing team and I are committed to helping you understand what you will need to pay, so there are no surprises. We can provide a super bill after payment if you choose to submit your own claims.
