My Journey
 
  • Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling — Southern Methodist University
  • Experience supporting children, teens, and young adults navigating ADHD, trauma, neurodivergence, and life transitions
  • Trained in activity-based and play therapy approaches
 
Theory of Change and Growth
 
I believe meaningful change begins with feeling safe, understood, and supported. Life experiences, especially stressful or painful ones, can influence how we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world. My approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, helping you build awareness, deepen self-understanding, and strengthen your natural capacity for resilience and growth.
 
Intervention style
 
Sessions offer a safe, supportive space where you can show up as you are. Time is taken to slow down, explore what you’re experiencing, and gently build a more compassionate understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and body, while supporting greater self-acceptance and connection in your life.

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 $150 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.
