About
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, as well as a Professional Counselor Associate who works with children, adolescents, and adults. I have over twenty years of experience working with children and families in various settings. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johnson University.
I partner with individuals and families to identify goals and develop a process that is complementary to each person’s needs and strengths. I use a holistic approach that includes traditional evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and person-centered approaches, incorporating self-care, nutrition, and spirituality as the client desires. My approach to working with children includes a variety of techniques, including experiential therapies, play therapy techniques, expressive sandtray work, and art therapy. I believe in finding the right path for each person and each situation.
Therapy can be hard work, but it can also be fun and lead to strength and a deeper sense of joy. Counseling can lead us to grow, heal, and move toward wholeness. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on this journey.
Additional Details
Because West Towne Christian Church generously offers their space for counselors to serve the community, I am able to provide therapy at rates that are significantly below market.
My rate is $115/50 min. A sliding scale is available as needed.
Do I have to be a member of the church or a Christian?
No, my services are available to the local community. My training and values lead me to use a lens of cultural humility. I believe all humans possess an inherent value. I am committed to a nondiscriminatory ideology that supports dignity and diversity.
