I enjoy working with older adolescents and young adults , though I have experience working with folks of all ages.
I work collaboratively with clients, from the perspective that you are the expert on yourself and my role is to support your growth. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the vehicle for change, and I foster a trusting and brave space for self-exploration and understanding. I trust that clients possess internal resources to help them navigate challenging experiences, and part of our work together is to further nurture and develop those resources. I practice from interpersonal and feminist orientations to examine relational dynamics and societal systems effects on clients’ identities, current experiences, and world views.

I specialize in working with adults and college/graduate students who are dealing with depression, anxiety, traumatic events, discrimination, or challenging relationships.
Sometimes, we can get messages that we can't change ourselves or our lives, that we aren't worthy of healing, that we should not hold on to hope. I believe that during those times, it is so important to seek support. In therapy, you can find a place to explore the challenges you are facing and can receive support as we work together to come up with new strategies. I enjoy helping clients find healing, hope, and wholeness in the face of difficult experiences, particularly those related to race and culture, identity, family problems, self-esteem, and spirituality.

LGBTQ, Transgender and gender expansive clients are my specialty and I have been working with this community for over a decade. As a queer person myself, I understand the struggle of coming out or finding your own place in the world. I enjoy working with people from 6th graders to adults who want to have the courage to be who they are. You may be struggling with coming out, exploring your gender identify, religious trauma, are autistic or have ADHD or are just looking for someone that "gets" you. Really "gets" you or your child. My hundreds of hours of special training & authorship of The Gender Identity Journal make me a great fit.

During my 16 years as a social worker, I’ve been honored to help older adults and their families adapt & cope with age-related stressors & challenges in ways that recognize the importance of one’s internal and external resources.
“Aging is not ‘lost youth’ but a new stage of opportunity and strength." Betty Friedan. This quote succinctly captures the crossroads we all face, as we age: one can look back with a sense of loss and remorse or one can move forward with hope and inspiration for a better now. Friedan chooses the path towards opportunity and strength. Which path would you like to take? How does one face the myriad of changes that this stage of life presents? Grief & loss. A changing body & mind. Retirement & new freedoms. Family relationships & caregiver concerns. What support would you like along this complex and often unpredictable path?

What type of Decatur mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.

If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counselor in Decatur?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.

What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.

How to use my insurance?
Understanding cost and insurance coverage is an important concern for many people. With some basic research and conversations with prospective therapists, you should be able to have a good understanding of the best way to afford therapy.
