A Life Altering Relationship

You may appear capable and composed on the outside, yet internally feel stretched, anxious, or quietly dissatisfied.

Many women arrive here after years of holding things together — at work, in relationships, or within their families.

Some of the patterns I often see include:

High-functioning anxiety
Overthinking and perfectionism
People-pleasing and difficulty maintaining balance
Imposter syndrome and constant comparison
Sleep disturbance, burnout, or unexplained physical symptoms

If any of this resonates, you're not alone in it.

Private 1-on-1 Therapy Sessions

We live in a culture saturated with information and advice. Even well-intentioned voices—friends, family, mentors, social media, podcasts, books, and sermons—can leave you feeling more confused, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself.

While education and insight can be helpful, they rarely resolve the deeper patterns shaping your thoughts, relationships, and inner life.

Meaningful and lasting change happens through a thoughtful therapeutic relationship—one that is personal, confidential, and attuned to your specific story.

Private therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect honestly, and work with a licensed professional who is focused entirely on you—not a generalized formula or one-size-fits-all approach.

This is a space designed for depth, clarity, and care.

My Clinical Focus

I work with women who feel stuck, depleted, or uncertain — whether due to present-day stress, past experiences, or life transitions that feel difficult to navigate alone.

This work includes women who are:

Mothers and caregivers
Professional women, including business owners and ministry leaders
Women in midlife transition
Women navigating faith questions, relational fatigue, or identity shifts
Women who have spent years holding things together for others

You do not need to fit a specific personality type or life role to belong here.

Experience & Approach

With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have devoted my clinical work to helping women navigate mental roadblocks, emotional strain, spiritual stuck points, and relational difficulty with care and discernment.

I offer a confidential, grounded therapeutic space for women who feel overwhelmed, burdened, or uncertain — often after years of carrying responsibility, expectation, or internal pressure in their lives and work.

My approach is relational and attentive. Clinically, I work collaboratively to identify patterns in thinking, relating, and self-perception that contribute to distress, and we address them in a focused, intentional way.

For women who desire it, therapy can thoughtfully integrate Christian faith, honoring both psychological insight and spiritual conviction.

How Does it Work?

Private 1-on-1 therapy sessions are designed for women and take place in person or virtually via Telehealth.

Therapy sessions are 60, 90, or 120 minutes depending upon your specific needs. Duration of individual sessions is established during the initial intake consultation or during the first appointment.

Psychotherapy Fees

60 Minute Individual Session: $220

90 Minute Individual Session: $330

120 Minute Individual Session: $440

Payment

Payment is due at the time of service. Payments for psychotherapy may be made by check, credit card, or cash. I do not accept Venmo or similar payment methods, as they are not HIPAA compliant.

Insurance Information

I am an out-of-network provider. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my fees are often partially reimbursed through insurance, depending on your plan.

Sessions are paid upfront. If you choose to seek reimbursement, I will provide appropriate documentation (a superbill) for you to submit directly to your insurance company.
