Navigating life and all of its choices can be difficult for everyone. I work with children ages 4-16+ and adults who need a caring, listening, licensed professional counselor (LPC). Effective changes come from setting goals in a safe, nonjudgmental space. We will work together to explore and set goals through evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT).  Achieving goals that are set in our sessions can provide benefits over an entire lifetime.

Being a child can be challenging, and parenting them can be even harder! When children are faced with big emotions and challenges, sometimes they need support navigating life in a way that keeps them growing forward. When caregivers have tried books, talking to other parents, and nothing seems to work, therapy can sometimes offer the missing piece they need to help their children. I utilize therapeutic play techniques and developmentally appropriate skills to address challenges with emotional regulation, relationship challenges, and many of the other hurdles kids face every day.

I offer counseling sessions in-person, online via video or a phone call, whatever you prefer, on weekdays, evenings, and Saturdays.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck—whether in painful patterns from the past, ongoing relationship struggles, or the weight of anxiety and stress. They may look like they “have it all together” on the outside, yet feel overwhelmed, unseen, or uncertain inside. They are ready to explore not just surface struggles but the deeper roots behind them. I provide a safe, supportive space where clients are treated with respect, compassion, and honesty. For those who desire it, I integrate faith and spirituality, while also helping them understand how their unique temperament shapes the way they connect, respond, and grow.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
