Hello fellow traveler! This life is a journey and everyone’s path is uniquely their own. But one thing we all have in common is that as soon as we think we have our path perfectly planned, we find ourselves off balanced, nudged, even pushed in a different direction. Utilizing cultural sensitivity, empathy and the best evidence based practices, it is my goal to help you discover your inner strengths and resiliency so you can navigate the difficulties and challenges in life with grace and self assurance. Searching for someone to assist you was the first brave step toward transforming your life and blazing new trails.

The choice to seek therapy services can be a difficult one. However, the challenges that motivate us towards change can become opportunities to create a deeper awareness of who we are, and who we wish to become. I believe we grow in connection to others, it’s in these relationships we learn the most about ourselves and what we want from our lives. I aim to co-create an attuned, safe, and collaborative relationship that supports your unique goals and individuality. I hope to accompany you through the discovery of your inherent resilience to pursue growth that enables you to live authentically and explore new possibilities.

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor who can do virtual counseling with anyone who resides in the states of Wyoming and Ohio. I like to work with clients who want a real change in their lives. Sometimes we know we need a change, but have no idea where to start. Counseling can help us find a path to reach our goals to improve our lives, our relationships, and our responses to the stresses in the world. Change only comes when you put the work in to create that change, so it is beneficial to correctly identify the right things to work on. Together, we will develop a clear path to reaching your goals.

As a therapist, I strive to "hold space" with clients. Holding space for another person is incredibly profound bringing your entire presence to them. You walk along with them without judgment, willing to end up wherever they need to go by giving the energy of our attention to the pain and struggle of another human being. As a ally to a variety of communities, I make it a priority to learn about the complexities and intersections of a persons identity; to honor each person's journey and recognize the privileges I have in sharing such a vulnerable space.

My ideal client would come to therapy ready to engage in the process. The process is not always fun, not quick or easy, but worth the journey in the end. Their issues would be addressed during the journey and goals met, along with an enlightened sense of self and purpose. They would want to get better for themselves but need the help and encouragement of another to guide them to where they have never been able to go before or sustain. They would be accepting of direct feedback and measurable goals to complete a treatment plan in an effective and expediated timetable.

My particular areas of interest lay in coming alongside families and couples by providing marriage-enrichment and communication skills. And specifically working with concerns of anxiety, depression, anger management and communication struggles. I find joy in helping people identify behaviors that negatively affect their lives and relationships with others. I work to bring an awareness to the other voices and instincts in our lives that tug at our hearts and help foster an ability to communicate with constructive and compelling reasonableness.

Is online therapy a good option?

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
