About
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR), with 8 years post-masters practice and 15+ years experience working in the human services field. My practice offers a relational approach to counseling, incorporating different aspects of evidenced based frameworks to tailor treatment to each client and couple.
My previous experience has been primarily community health, focusing on housing instability, substance use disorders and LGBTQ+ healthcare. I work primarily with adults and couples navigating challenging interpersonal relationships and managing trauma. I am currently pursuing more specialized education in Sex Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and incorporate these modalities in my treatment.
I view therapy as an opportunity to untangle and understand our experiences, to develop authentic responses to stressors as well as an orientation to where we are in our lives and where we want to be. This can look like shifting patterns for a desired outcome or learning from historical pain. My job is to act as a reflection and guide to each individual & couple as they navigate their story.
Insurance & Fees
Out of pocket fee is $165 for individual & couples therapy. At this time I take BCBS PPO, BC Blue Choice, Aetna PPO and United Health plans and offer sliding scale based on income (min. $75). I offer both in person and telehealth appointments and clients can choose a hybrid depending on what works best for them.
For those with other types of insurance I can provide a superbill, and support with navigating reimbursement from your insurance provider. The no surprises act means I will offer those paying out of pocket a good faith estimate for services annually. You can read more here: https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
