Theory of Change and Growth
We’re all exposed to a wide range of stressors that can take a toll on our mental well-being. And even when it feels like you've hit rock bottom, it doesn't mean it's the end. If you still have a shred of hope, you can make it through — and I’m here to support you every step of the way. You're not alone.
Intervention Style
My therapy style is direct, honest, and rooted in what many describe as “tough love”—not harshness, but a willingness to ask the questions that lead to real self‑reflection and meaningful change. I take a collaborative, humanistic, person‑centered approach, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build mindfulness, emotional regulation, stress tolerance, and effective communication. As a Solution‑Focused Therapist, I help you identify what’s working, what’s possible, and what strengths you already have—even when you can’t see them yet. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, less overwhelmed, and more connected to your own capacity for growth. Even when life feels heavy or chaotic, I believe that if you still have a shred of hope, you can move forward—and I’m here to support you through every step of that process.

Understanding Therapy Costs by Clinician Level:
- Fully Licensed Professionals (LPC, LCSW, LMFT): Our current rate for individual therapy sessions with fully licensed therapists is set at $120 per session. Nationally, these sessions typically range from $90 to $200. These clinicians have completed extensive training, supervision, and state licensure requirements.
- Provisional/Associate-Level Clinicians (LPC Associate, LMSW, LMFT Associate): Our current rate for sessions with provisional or associate-level therapists is set at $95 per session. Nationally, the average cost for these sessions ranges from $65 to $120. These clinicians are highly skilled, have completed their master's degrees, and are working under the direct supervision of a fully licensed professional as they accumulate hours towards full licensure.
- Student Interns: Sessions with student interns, who are gaining practical experience under close supervision, typically range from $0 to $85 per session. This provides an affordable entry point for therapy while ensuring high-quality care through rigorous oversight.
