Psychotherapy for adults and teens
Caring, accepting counseling for adults and for teens ages 14 and up. Therapy helps you understand your patterns, build skills, and find more choices, and it is shaped around your needs and goals.
Support for
Anxiety
Anxiety can make ordinary situations feel threatening, keep your mind running through possibilities, or lead you to avoid things you'd rather be doing. We can explore what sets it off, what keeps it going, and how to respond differently.
Stress
Feeling stretched thin, on edge, or worn out by work, family, health, or daily demands.
Coping and self-regulation
Sometimes our reactions are bigger, faster, or harder to manage than we'd like. We can look at what happens before and after those moments and build skills that help you recover and respond more effectively.
Trauma-related concerns
Strong reactions after scary or painful experiences, like an inner alarm that goes off even when you're safe.
Recurring patterns
Ever wonder why you keep doing something even though you know it isn't helping? There's usually more to the story than willpower. We can look at what maintains the pattern and experiment with other ways of responding.
Organization and follow-through
Trouble planning, getting started, making decisions, or keeping up with everyday tasks.
Relationships
Connection, conflict, and communication with partners, family, friends, and coworkers.
Boundaries
Knowing your limits, saying no without too much guilt, and asking clearly for what you need.
Life changes
New roles, losses, moves, and other changes that can shake your sense of direction.

Standard notice under the No Surprises Act
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

Methods I use
I use three well-studied approaches and shape them to fit you. Through it all, your safety and your choices come first.
Mindfulness
Notice, without judging.You practice noticing your thoughts, feelings, and body sensations in the present moment, with curiosity instead of criticism. This can help you feel steadier when emotions run high.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Make room, then move.You learn to make room for hard thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, and to take small steps toward what matters most to you.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Thoughts, feelings, actions.You look at how your thoughts, feelings, and actions affect each other. Then you practice more helpful ways to think and respond.
