I practice solution focused therapy with a focus on identifying and addressing practical goals that have meaning to the client. I approach counseling as a collaborative process between myself and my client. I believe each person has the capacity to make changes and that many people are just lacking the specific skills or supports necessary to make significant change. 

I believe that God has placed within each of us strengths, abilities and desires. When we feel alive, deeply connected with our true selves, and calm in our spirit, this is an indication that we are living out our life’s purpose. When we feel stressed, constantly tired, or consumed with worry, this is a signal that our lives are not in balance. Balance and purpose are the cornerstones of a fulfilled life- whether at work, at home, or within the community.   

In my ecotherapy work, I introduce clients to the concept of nature as part of the healing process. By connecting with elements of nature, I help clients focus on what is good and healthy in their lives, and find solutions that are grounded in their strengths, rather than focusing on their weaknesses. This nature-focused approach draws on mindfulness and cognitive behavioral elements.  

I am in-network for most major insurance plans, including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Magellan, Medicare, Optum, PHCS, TriCare, United HealthCare, and ValueOptions. I am also a provider for a number of EAP's (Employee Assistance Programs).  

My rate is $150 for the initial session and $120 for sessions thereafter. Sessions last between 50-55 minutes. I have limited openings at this time.
