Areas of Specialization

You bring your goals.  I bring 20 years of experience, a genuinely eclectic toolkit and zero interested in cookie-cutter therapy. Working together we  create the change in your life you desire.

​

I work with individuals and select couples on anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, personal growth and spiritual growth.  Wherever you are stuck or wherever you are ready to grow, I am excited to support you on your journey.  I especially love working with adults, women and the LGBTQIA+ community.  

My approach is eclectic by design.  You and your goals are unique and your therapy should be too.  Depending on what you need, we might draw on:

​

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

  • ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

  • EMDR (for trauma processing)

  • IFS (Internal Family Systems)

  • Somatic and other neurobiology-informed approaches​

 

All built upon the foundation of a Person-Centered approach

My areas of specialization:

​

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Life Transitions

  • Personal Growth

  • Premarital Counseling

  • Relationship Challenges

  • Spiritual Growth

  • Stress

Why Online Counseling

All my sessions are conducted virtually, through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms. 

 

Honestly, I think it is one of the best ways to make therapy actually fit into your life. Here is my clients love it:

​

  • More choice

You are not limited to providers within driving distance.  You get to choose the right fit, not just the closest one.

  • Real Flexibility

Sessions are easier to fit around your schedule, not the other way around.

  • Less hassle, less costs

Save time with no commuting, no waiting room, no lost time or fuel wasted

  • Greater access

Especially valuable if you are homebound, have limited mobility or don't have reliable transportation.​

Therapy vs Coaching

Not sure if you need counseling or coaching services?

 

Therapy and coaching serve different purposes.  The good news is I offer therapy or coaching. The checklist below can help you determine what service you might need.  

​

Coaching

​​

  • Focuses on future goals

  • Action-oriented and strategic

  • No mental health diagnosis required

  • Helps with growth, clarity, and accountability

Therapy

​

  • Focuses on healing the past

  • Emotion and diagnosis-oriented

  • Mental health diagnosis required

  • Treats mental health conditions

  • Licensed mental health professional

A note on who I am:

I am a private, solo therapy practice and I intent to stay that way.  I am not part of any large group, venture capital, private-equity-funded tech, or insurance company-owned therapy practice dressed up to look independent. I do not contract with AI training companies, or VC funded tech platforms. My practice is not based on using screening tools as metrics, recording sessions with AI, using a company’s scripts, monitoring, or pushing to funnel clients into low fee tech, coaching, or AI programs.

​

When you are working with me, you're working with me -not a system.  That matters to me and I think it'll matter to you too.
