I recognize that our clinical world hasn’t always treated everyone with the care, dignity, and understanding they deserve. Many diagnosis and demographics remain disenfranchised, overlooked, or misunderstood. This reality is exactly why I’ve chosen to narrow my practice to serve the listed populations specifically. If you have participated in therapy before and found brief or surface-level approaches insufficient or are seeking a therapist who is comfortable working with complexity, ambivalence, and long-term goals that will not equate difficulty with hopelessness, consider reaching out for a consult.

When human beings experience traumatic events or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon to feel like their life is unraveling. My passion is to help bring hope and healing to those who's lives have endured a traumatic/stressful life experience. I help my clients, who include adults, elder adults and married couples, to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can flourish in life. I approach all counseling from a Biblical worldview. Without a healthy vertical relationship with God, our horizontal relationships will struggle to be complete, whole, and safe.

I offer in person therapy and online therapy.
I named my practice "The Journey Home", because life sometimes leaves us with a heartfelt longing for home....that safe place within us that settles our mind and calms our fears. I offer help to women experiencing depression, anxiety, abuse, grief, personality disorders, emotional problems and mental illness. After raising three children who are now navigating independence and owning a specialty restaurant, life experiences and the desire to give back to the community offering emotional support to women and girls prompted a career change. As a Licensed Professional Counselor I am able to provide that support.

You may be someone others rely on — capable and high-functioning on the outside, but internally overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you can’t change. Many of my clients are navigating ADHD, autism or other neurodivergent patterns, trauma history, anxiety, or emotional shifts that suddenly make life feel harder than it used to. You want more than coping — you want to understand what is happening in your brain, body, and emotions so life feels manageable again and you can respond with clarity instead of constant stress.

Mom guilt. Exhaustion. You may be constantly checking the baby monitor (or running to her room) to make sure she is breathing even though you know she is going to be screeching in exactly 17 minutes for her next feeding. You know that he is going to resent you and you blame yourself for not feeling that instant connection when he was born. Instead of proudly wearing that super mom cape, you feel strangled by the requirements to make sure all your kiddos are fed and clean, move the laundry to the dryer before it grows mold, & checking Google to verify that she is hitting all of her developmental milestones. You feel like a failure.

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.
