My philosophy is change starts from the inside out with a choice and realization that it is for our higher good. As part of the human experience, there are times when unexpected losses, betrayals or traumatic events can leave us feeling alone with a host of negative emotions, feeling stuck in grief, anger, bitterness, anxiety and depression.

I am in-network for Blue Cross, Cigna, Aetna, Optum, and Carelon.
While not everyone experiences mental illness, everyone has mental health that must be maintained just like physical health.
People may think they aren’t “that bad” yet, but asking for help early and often is one of the best ways to maintain wholeness in mental health. Often people think seeing a therapist makes you weak or or means you’re broken, or in some cases that you don’t trust God. Too often people are used to holding it together on the outside while internally feeling exhausted, anxious, trouble sleeping, overthinking, or questioning themselves. If this is you it's time to take care of your mental health.
