We offer a free 20-minute consultation so we can connect, talk about what you’re looking for, and see if we’re a good fit. This is a relaxed, no-pressure call where you can ask questions and get a feel for my approach before deciding if you’d like to begin therapy.

The intake session is our first meeting to discuss your concerns, mental health history, and goals. We’ll also review therapy policies and answer any questions, helping you feel informed and comfortable as we begin work together.


Individual Psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy is a collaborative process that helps you explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a supportive and confidential space. Therapy can help you reduce distress, build coping skills, heal from past experiences, and create positive changes in your life.


Couple's Psychotherapy

Couples psychotherapy helps partners strengthen their relationship by improving communication, resolving conflicts, and deepening emotional connection. In a supportive space, couples learn healthier ways to relate, rebuild trust, and navigate challenges together.


Group Counseling

Group counseling brings together people with shared experiences in a supportive setting, guided by a therapist. It provides a safe space to share, learn from others, build coping skills, and practice new ways of relating—all while reducing isolation and fostering connection.


Family Psychotherapy

Family psychotherapy helps families improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. In a supportive setting, family members work together to gain a deeper understanding of one another, navigate challenges, and establish healthier patterns of connection.


Reclaim the Night Program

Reclaim the Night is ideal for those who feel “stuck” in cycles of disrupted sleep and intrusive trauma memories, offering a compassionate and effective path toward peace, healing, and the ability to truly rest again.
