Questions you may be asking:

Counseling is a time and place for you to work through the struggles you are experiencing in your life with someone who listens, cares, and can offer you helpful information. Counselors help you see what your choices are, what your strengths are, what you can do to face your challenges, and what you can change in your life. I will work with you where you are to help you get to where you want to be. Counseling is a process of facilitating your growth and healing your wounds, so that you can live a healthy and enjoyable life.

Most people experience times in their life that are stormy for one reason or another. Counseling is an opportunity for you to have someone help you find your way through the storm to the solid ground. Depression, anxiety, grieving, relationship conflicts, addictions, traumatic experiences, and identity questions are actually common challenges that many people face at some point, and they can be worked through in order to find a stronger self.

I'm a counselor with a love for helping people better understand who they are and how they can be healthy in relationships. I want to provide people with a space to laugh, to cry, to be heard, to explore themselves and their lives, and to be real and accepted for who they are.

As a counselor, my goal is to make counseling a valuable discussion in a comfortable setting where you can be accepted as you are without facing judgment. We will talk about your life and experiences and pursue self-awareness and understanding of what you have been through. You will gain knowledge of how you can grow and become stronger because of and through your unique journey.

I have a Master of Arts in Counseling from Colorado Christian University and a Bachelor of Arts in Religion and Philosophy from Shorter College.

I am a Christian and a mental health counselor. I have a Christian perspective. Your faith can be integrated into your counseling as much or as little as you prefer. Everyone is on a spiritual journey and wherever you are on your journey is respected.

After the first free session, I offer a sliding scale fee that ranges from $75–$115 and is based on your monthly income.

• I am happy to provide you with session receipts with appropriate coding if you wish to pursue reimbursement through your insurance. Insurance companies do vary greatly in what they cover.

• It's important to know that managed care commonly places restrictions on therapy and requires a diagnosis that becomes part of your permanent medical record. This can impact your insurance coverage as well as label you with a diagnosis which may not be beneficial to you and does become a "pre-existing condition."

• I will be happy to discuss your options and your coverage further with you, so you can find what's in your best interest.

There is no charge for any session cancelled at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time.

By law, everything we discuss in counseling is confidential because of the counselor/client relationship. There are rare exceptions for legal issues, self-harm issues and minor-child issues. We can discuss these in detail.
