Counseling Services

Individual Work

Individual counseling involves an ongoing relationship between a client and their therapist with the ultimate goal of discovering the reasons why someone is having difficulties with thoughts, feelings or behaviors while gaining an understanding about what changes may be helpful. This method of working through issues and problems leads to greater self-awareness and a broader range of personal development opportunities. This type of therapy provides deeper understanding, which makes it more likely for people to achieve lasting change related to their concerns and life goals.

Couples Work

Couples counseling exists to help you see clearly what is currently happening in your relationship, to be clear about what you would like to be different, and to enable you to bridge the gap. In this format of counseling, you gain new perspectives about each other and the way you relate, and you also learn new ways of being together. Couples counseling includes building tangible skills to help you do something different, as well as helping you explore your feelings and thoughts with your partner. It has an appreciative focus as well as exploring difficulties.

**Elevated Momentum Sessions** are designed for when traditional 50–60 minute weekly therapy sessions no longer feel like enough. These intensive sessions are 90–120 minutes long, 2–3 times per week, over the course of 2–4 weeks. This extended, focused format allows individuals to dive deeper into personal growth, overcome stuck patterns, and build lasting skills, while couples can strengthen connection, improve communication, and resolve recurring relational challenges. Each session is designed to create real momentum, leaving you with tangible progress, practical tools, and a renewed sense of clarity and connection.

Sex-focused therapy is designed to help individuals and couples address medical, psychological, personal, or interpersonal factors impacting sexual satisfaction.

Sex-focused therapy aims to decrease shame around sex, increase safety to foster curiosity regarding sex, help clients voice their sexual and relational needs, and then develop a sexual health plan.

Sessions & Fees.

Therapy is not a one size-fits-all scenario. It’s important that you find a counselor that you feel comfortable to disclose your concerns and someone you feel can understand your experiences. We call this therapeutic alliance and is paramount to your progress in treatment. I look forward to chatting further to determine if you and I will be a good fit.

**SESSION TIMES & FEES:**
Sessions are typically 50-60 minutes long. I recommend that clients come once per week when first beginning. It’s common to decrease frequency once momentum is established and you feel you are making progress towards your goals. Intensive sessions will last 90-120 minutes. Frequency will be determined and established together in a manner that best fits your needs.

Fees range from $200-$300/hour depending on the type of service provided. Retreat fees are paid in two increments and reflect the all-inclusive design.
Fees are due at the time of service in the form of debit/credit card or Health Saving Account. I use Ivy Pay which is a HIPAA compliant payment platform. Contact me to see if you qualify for a reduced rate. Learn more about receiving a Good Faith Estimate.

Theoretical Orientation

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a classic talk therapy technique that helps increase awareness of negative thinking in order to better handle challenging situations. In addition to helping those with mental health disorders (such as anxiety or depression), CBT is also helpful for anyone who is looking to learn how to manage stressful situations. CBT is frequently paired with other treatments, such as medication, when necessary.
Acceptance & Committment Therapy

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) combines aspects of acceptance and mindfulness approaches with behavior-change strategies, in an effort to help clients develop psychological flexibility. Therapists and counselors who employ ACT seek to help clients identify the ways that their efforts to suppress or control emotional experiences can create barriers. When clients are able to identify these challenges, it can be easier to make positive and lasting changes.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a present and future-focused, goal-directed therapeutic approach that focuses, as the name suggests, on solutions. Instead of leading with the problems that brought clients to therapy in the first place, SFBT focuses on what clients want to achieve without exploring the history of the issue. SFBT is founded on the belief that clients know what they need to do to improve their lives and the approach provides coaching and questioning to help clients find the best solutions. Solution Focused Brief Therapy is used in the treatment of a variety of issues, including addiction, relationship problems, behavioral problems, abuse and depression.
Relational Therapy

Relational therapy is a therapeutic approach that was founded on the belief that a person must have fulfilling and satisfying relationships with the people around them in order to be emotionally healthy. Relational therapy handles emotional and psychological distress by looking at the client’s patterns of behavior and experiences in interpersonal relationships, taking social factors, such as race, class, culture, and gender, into account. Relational therapy can be useful in the treatment of many issues, but is especially successful when working with individuals seeking to address long-term emotional distress, particularly when that distress related to relationships. Relational therapy will help clients learn skills to create and maintain healthy relationships.
