I consider the whole person throughout the therapeutic process—body, mind, and spirit.  In my emotion-focused, trauma-informed approach I use a variety of methods depending on what each person needs.  I offer practical skills for coping, calming, relationship-building, communication, processing negative emotion, and personal care.  We process what is happening internally, how it relates to your life story, and how it is impacting your relationships and other areas of your life.

Simply reach out by phone at your convenience or we can schedule a call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and I’ll answer any questions along the way.

You can reach me by phone or email. I aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day. If you haven’t had a response within 24 hours, you may check back in because I may have missed your message somehow, or there may have been some other reason preventing me from reaching you.

I take Aetna, Cigna, and Optum through a 3rd party biller, Alma. I will also assist with out-of-network reimbursement for other insurance plans.  I am unable to offer assistance for government plans.

I respect where everyone is coming from on their spiritual journey.  Our life experiences have a dramatic impact on our spiritual beliefs and values, and vice-versa.  I meet you where you are in that journey and will address it at the level of desire, comfort, and focus you prefer in your therapeutic process.

Some do not wish to overtly consider spirituality, and I respect that.  The counseling process broadly includes spiritual exploration such as we address your story in the context of meaning and value.

I have worked with clients who are Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Christian, and more.  Within all religious backgrounds, the experience and practice of one’s beliefs vary.  My spiritual approach in the therapeutic process is not about religion, but about relationship.

I believe we are all part of a grand narrative, and all play a role in this Great Story.  Our counseling process focuses on meaning, value, purpose, relationship, and living more fully the way we were meant to live.  I believe in your inherent value and have hope in the redemptive process of a greater power working in us.  We all suffer from a struggle between our dignity (we are glorious people!) and depravity (we are also a mess).  Our negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors illuminate to us the ultimate desires we all have in us to be loved, valued, connected, and have ultimate meaning and purpose.  The counseling process can enable us to reclaim our value, meaning, and purpose in that great narrative.  Hope and healing enable us to move forward into the redemptive story we were made to live.
