Although I’ve climbed mountains in Hawaii with breathtaking views, nothing is more beautiful than seeing God’s work in someone’s story. I am honored to witness healing and changed lives daily as a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern. I have worked with clients who have struggled with addiction, self-blame, faith, anxiety, depression, and the hurt of a partner’s infidelity. My approach to counseling begins with understanding my client’s beliefs and life experiences. We then collaborate to create personalized goals and solutions. I admire your bravery in reaching out for help and prioritizing your own overall wellbeing.

In order to recover, you need to know what you are recovering from. As a person in recovery myself, I have both personal and professional experience to help those desiring help with untreated addiction and/or unresolved trauma. My work with co-occurring disorders including mental health, substance abuse and trauma started in a hospital on the Dual Diagnosis unit then grew into working as a trauma therapist and from there, working as both a residential and IOP therapist at a treatment center for chemical dependency and eating disorders. Being in recovery gives me the insight and perspective in which to help you with your journey.

It's no secret that the world is a difficult place to live and overcoming the tragedies of life can be overwhelming. For many of my clients, the burdens of this world become so heavy that life eventually becomes painful, hopeless, and meaningless. Fortunately, God has given each person the desire and ability to grow from the inside-out. As a Marriage and Family Therapist and a follower of Christ, my ultimate desire is that my clients wouldn't simply just DO different things in their lives, but would more importantly BECOME different men and women all together.

My personal style is to extend warmth, acceptance and care to all who enter my office. I’m not afraid of your tears or your anger and want you to know, you are in a judgement free space. My style is light and I help clients find humor when the situation calls for it, and know that laughter is incredibly healing. I will tell you the truth, as I see it, for the sole purpose to help you grow. The average client spends about six months to a year with me. Some clients require just a few visits to hit the reset or rebalance button.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
