Accepting new clients ages 18+ with Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance or private pay. Immediate on line registration and scheduling are available so you can get started quickly. You don’t have to go through this alone—a safe space to heal, grow, and thrive. It’s not always easy to take the first step toward therapy. My role is to meet you where you are—with compassion, understanding, and practical tools to help you navigate life’s challenges. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of well‑being. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to support and guide you on your path to healing and growth.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. I strive to make the process easier by creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard & understood. I work with adults on:
Emotion regulation • Depression & Anxiety • Substance Use • Stress Management • Communication skills • Relationship Challenges • Family Conflict • School Issues • Trauma Recovery
With over 20 years in the mental health field, I bring a mix of experience, evidence‑based approaches, and genuine compassion to each session.
