Therapy can be useful for all kinds of situations in life. Major life adjustment? Difficulty dealing with symptoms of anxiety or depression? Perfectionism? Difficulty in relationships? Grief over a loss? Work, home or school stress? Need an hour of “me time” within your crazy schedule? And maybe you’ve tried it before but it just didn’t click. Maybe you want to vent and feel validated. Maybe you want help identifying specific steps to meet a goal. Maybe you don’t quite know what it is yet, but daily functioning is becoming difficult.

I accept self-pay and am in network with Optum/UHC/UMR, Aetna, Ambetter, Mercy UMR, and Medicare Part B (not Medicare Advantage plans).
People tend to find me when they’re feeling anxious, disconnected, confused, reacting in ways they don’t understand or like, or are feeling “too much” or nothing at all. Many of my clients are undergoing life transitions of all kinds, experiencing loss, feeling stuck in patterns, and seeking deeper understanding and lasting change. I draw from my training and education in both biology and counseling to highlight the mind-body connection. This can be beneficial in working with somatic/bodily effects of trauma, physical symptoms and illnesses, and many of our other layered experiences that come with having bodies.

I am currently in network with Aetna, Ambetter, Cigna, and United, and I can provide superbills for out-of-network clients.
Everyone has a story to tell. Sometimes it is filled with dark twists and turns, shadows, and the unexpected. Other times it is full of light, gentle breezes, and warmth. Stories are often full of both and it can be daunting to try and revisit some of the harder chapters alone. I offer a place of solace for your stories. A place where we can open and read each chapter of it together, learn from them, and gather tools to face the battles ahead. A place where we can challenge the things that still haunt us from these stories, and then put them on a shelf, a reminder of where you came from and what you’ve overcome.
