Your Healing Journey Starts Here
It feels like we are living separate lives under the same roof; we barely talk about anything meaningful anymore. I'm starting to feel more like a roommate than a wife and I don't know how bridge that growing distance.
Look, I keep doing things I know I shouldn't be doing sexually, and it's messing up everything, I hate keeping secrets and feeling guilty, but it's like there is this switch that flips, and I just lose control.
It's like this constant need that I cannot shake and its driving a wedge between my and my partner, I see the damage it's causing and this is not who I want to be.
Don't worry, we can help!

What if your life isn't just a story, but a story waiting to be rewritten? I believe every one of us holds the power to transform our narratives, especially when guided through the chapters of challenge and triumph.
Years ago, a simple comment:
'You really come alive when leading these groups!' sparked a profound realization within me. It illuminated a path where I could truly help others navigate their own unfolding stories.
Today, as a registered clinical social work intern under the supervision of Taylor Johnston, LCSW, I offer evidence based therapy rooted in the conviction that unnamed wounds cannot heal.
Together, we’ll bravely bring those hidden narratives into the light. My approach is about more than just understanding the past; it's about courageously engaging your heart to unlock hope, zeal, and a renewed sense of well-being. If you're ready to embrace transformation and experience true joy, I’m here to guide you. (And yes, even my spirited German Shepherd, Lily, reminds me daily of the energy and life waiting to be embraced!
Feel free to reach out to me via phone, text, email, or by using the contact page here. I look forward to connecting with you!
The length of your journey in counseling depends on the particular issues you are facing and what your goals are for the healing process. There is a wide range of length of time in counseling, from 3 months to over a year. 6-9 months of weekly or bi-weekly sessions is an average timeframe.
A single therapy session is typically fifty minutes long, and many clients choose to have sessions on a weekly basis. However, the frequency, duration, and focus of therapy will all depend on your personal goals and concerns, which you will discuss with your therapist. Therapy is collaborative, so while your therapist is there to support and facilitate your healing process, your therapy will be most successful if you are willing to take responsibility for your own change and growth. Your therapist will do his or her best to provide a kind, safe, and confidential environment in which to pursue greater insight and care within your own story.
All communications between a client and therapist are generally confidential. For information to be disclosed a client would have to provide prior written permission. There are some exceptions, however.
These include.
-Abuse of a dependent adult or elder abuse or
-Suspected child abuse or
-Threats of serious physical harm to another person or
-Intentions of a client to harm him or herself.
In any of these cases, the therapist is required to notify the appropriate authorities and take every precaution for safety of the client and others.
Counseling sessions are $150. Insurance is not accepted; However, a Superbill can be provided for independent insurance reimbursement. Clients are able to manage billing by accessing their online portal.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to collaborate and determine if you would like to schedule an initial appointment. Trusting someone with your story is not easy, and I do not take that lightly. It is important that you find a therapist that best fits your needs.
I look forward to providing care for clients from a variety of cultures. My beliefs allow me to view all of my clients with compassion and dignity, regardless of their religious background. However, I have received clinical training that incorporates both theological and psychological perspectives. If you are eager to incorporate your faith and religious views into your healing process, I am happy to do so.
There are many beneficial elements from participating in the therapeutic process. Counselors can bring new perspectives on tough issues and help you move towards better options for yourself. The support of a therapist can also help in a variety of life issues including relational strain, depression, anxiousness, stress, and other difficult life stages. Counseling can also benefit those who wish to grow not only just from a painful moment, but also for those who wish to grow from a place of stability. A large portion of the beneficial nature of therapy rests on how a person invests themselves in the process of therapy and practicing what is learned there.
Some of the benefits you can expect are:
-Gaining a better understanding of yourself, what you are looking for and hoping for
-Finding growth in your personal relationships Resolving circumstances of difficult memories that have brought you to therapy
-Finding a restful place as you build skills toward coping better with anxiety or stress Learning to care for yourself in times of sadness or pain
-Growing your self-acceptance and self-concept levels.
Medication can be a useful supplement to psychotherapy. Sometimes it is difficult to focus on symptom relief and self-growth when strong symptoms of anxiety or depression are present. For some people, medication can help stabilize and assist their growth in psychotherapy. Medications do not come without potential side effects and risks. One should always discuss the risks of medication use with a qualified health professional. A typical starting point for medication interventions is the primary care provider.
