About my practice
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to providing high-quality mental health counseling for adults seeking real, lasting change. I offer individualized therapy designed to support both clarity and healing. I work closely with you to understand your needs, develop a personalized growth plan, and walk with you through the process with compassion, honesty, and skill.
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you draw from your strengths and move toward a more meaningful, fulfilling life. Meaningful living is about reconnecting with what makes you feel most alive: your values, your desires, and your capacity to grow.
I offer in-person and online sessions, depending on preference and accessibility. My goal is to create an environment where you feel understood, gently challenged, and empowered to move toward a life that feels vibrant, aligned, and whole.
My approach
My approach to therapy is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based psychotherapy model that helps you build a more flexible and compassionate relationship with your inner world. ACT emphasizes learning to notice thoughts and emotions without becoming overwhelmed or controlled by them, while also identifying the values that matter most to you. Through mindfulness, skill-building, and committed action, we work toward increasing psychological flexibility so you can move through life with greater presence and alignment with what truly matters to you.
Here is how it works:
Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you’re struggling with stress, loss, or constant pressure. It’s easy to get stuck in patterns of overthinking and self-criticism, and you end up feeling disconnected from what matters most to you.
ACT offers a way to relate differently to these experiences. Rather than trying to get rid of difficult thoughts or emotions, ACT helps you make space for them so they no longer run the show. Through mindfulness and values-based action, you can begin to respond to life with more flexibility and self-compassion.
In this work, therapy becomes a place to explore what matters to you. We’ll work on building skills that help keep you grounded and engaged, even during challenging moments. The focus shifts from “fixing” you to learning how to engage more fully in your life.
Working with an ACT therapist means having guidance as you step out of patterns of avoidance and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values.
Here’s what we’ll do together:
We’ll practice relating to difficult thoughts and emotions in a new way, so they have less control over your choices. You’ll clarify what truly matters to you and begin taking small steps in that direction.
Along the way, you’ll build skills to stay present, respond to challenges with greater awareness, and treat yourself with more compassion. Over time, this can lead to greater clarity, steadiness, and confidence in how you move through your life.
As therapy becomes part of your routine, you may notice subtle but meaningful shifts in how you handle stress, relate to others, and make decisions. These changes tend to ripple outward, helping you live with more intention, connection, and fulfillment.
If you’re ready to take the first step, I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation.
Fees and Insurance
Individual therapy
Therapy is a meaningful investment, and I strive to make my fees and policies clear, transparent, and easy to navigate from the beginning.
I operate as a private pay practice. While I do not contract directly with insurance companies, I do provide insurance-friendly billing support and can submit claims on your behalf so you do not have to manage superbills or paperwork.
This means:
You pay for sessions at the time of service
I can file insurance claims for you (when applicable)
You do not need to handle superbills or reimbursement paperwork yourself
Many clients appreciate this model because it combines the freedom and privacy of private-pay care with reduced administrative burden.
Working with private pay care can also offer benefits such as:
Greater flexibility in treatment planning without insurance restrictions
No requirement for insurance-driven diagnosis or session limits
Increased privacy in your mental health care
I am also a TRICARE-certified provider, which allows eligible military families and service members to access out-of-network benefits depending on their specific plan and coverage.
Coverage varies by plan, so I recommend contacting your insurance company to confirm your out-of-network mental health benefits prior to starting services.
Please note that I am not a Medicaid or Medicare provider, and these plans do not reimburse for my services.
If you have questions about out-of-network benefits or how reimbursement works, I’m happy to walk you through the process.
