No matter what challenges you might be facing today, it would be my privilege and honor to assist you in making mental wellness a priority in your life. If this is the first time you've considered counseling, congratulations on taking that first step. For some people, seeking professional help is no easy task. In fact, for some folks, it may be downright scary.
Especially for those who think counseling is only for those who have something seriously "wrong" with them. If that describes your perspective, I encourage you to leave that social stigma behind and know that we all get caught in life's dilemmas at one time or another. By reaching out, you're demonstrating the intentionality that's needed for positive change to occur.
If seeking therapy isn't something new to you, you know that a good therapeutic experience starts with a positive connection with the therapist, someone who might be trusted with your story and safely partner in holding your pain as you pursue a brighter future. Not all therapists are necessarily a good fit.

Professional counseling comes as a second career for me, following decades of being a business owner, and most importantly, a mother.
As time freed up with the "nest" getting emptier, I volunteered at non-profit agencies serving vulnerable populations.
During that time, I was struck by the level of need I witnessed and wanted to become the best helper that I could be.
When the time was right, I began the journey to realizing a life-long dream of pursuing higher education and discovered Social Work as the discipline that best aligned with my personal values.

Without a doubt, the most common complaint of clients is relational trouble.
Dysfunctional relationships take the biggest toll on our emotional well-being because relationship is so central to our quality of life.
This includes our relationship with ourselves.
Making improvements in this area is done, in part, through self-exploration, learning healthy boundaries, and enhancing communication skills.
Humans hate change, yet change is the one thing we're sure to have throughout life.
There are exciting changes such as becoming a parent for the first time, or devastating ones, such as a divorce, or disability.

Insurance: At this time, I accept MODA, United Health Care, Optum and Pacific Source.
For other health insurance companies, I am an out-of-network provider and can supply you with a superbill, at your request, to substantiate out of pocket expenses.
Because I believe that mental health care is something everyone deserves, regardless of ability to pay, I offer a limited amount of reduced rate openings which have been budgeted into the overall costs of doing business.
If my normal rate is outside of your financial means and would put an undue strain on your budget for basic necessities, you may request an application for a reduced rate.
