Are you struggling to figure out who you are and what you want out of life?

You may be facing a ton of challenges, from navigating relationships and financial stability to finding meaningful work and a sense of purpose.

It’s almost impossible to balance the responsibilities of adulthood while  also trying to figure out who you are in the first place.

It can become overwhelming and leave you feeling lost and uncertain about your future…

Confusion about what to do next leads to anxiety & unease.

But the truth is that you are not alone in your struggles.  With the right support and guidance, you can discover your purpose and meaning in life.

Therapy can help be the guide on your journey

Therapy is like a compass, guiding you towards your true north and a sense of purpose in your life.

Think of a therapist as your guide, helping you identify your values and priorities and  find your direction.

With the help of a therapist, you can set achievable goals, develop a roadmap, and make progress towards the life you desire.

It's time to discover your true self

In therapy, we’ll focus on the unique challenges that you as a young adult are facing.

That can range from:

  • transitioning into adulthood
  • navigating relationships
  • managing stress and anxiety
  • building a sense of identity and purpose

Together, we’ll get to the root core of what’s causing problems in your life. We’ll look at it from every angle, and find a solution, so it doesn’t need to hold you back.

With those root challenges solved, your emotional state improves drastically.


After therapy, my clients talk about having increased self-awareness, better relationships, improved coping strategies, and increased self-esteem.

They feel confident, and ready to take on life while still being able to enjoy it. To enjoy the present moment and not be stuck in the past or present.

It just takes reaching out to get started.

If you’re ready to become unstuck and find hope, then let’s get started on your journey!

Rates & FAQ

How much do you charge?

I charge $100 per session.

Do you take insurance?

I am considered an "Out-Of-Network" provider, which means I do not accept any insurance directly. If you would like to use your insurance, then I am able to provide you with a monthly receipt called a "Superbill" and you can submit this to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. I recommend calling your insurance provider directly and checking with them to confirm if you have "Out Of Network" benefits.

Otherwise you can choose to see me privately and not involve your insurance at all. See why many of my clients choose this option below.

Why would I choose to pay private pay instead of using my insurance benefits?

Many of my clients actually prefer to work with me privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is because in order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. Insurance can also put limitations on the number of counseling sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process.

And by not taking insurance, I’m able to maintain a smaller caseload of clientele and devote all of my focus into helping people. Instead of taking hours each week going back and forth with insurance, I devote that time and energy to my clients, resulting in better outcomes for therapy.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Yes, studies have shown that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy. In fact, for some people, it can be even more effective, as it removes the barriers of travel and scheduling that can make traditional therapy more difficult to access.

Tell me something fun about yourself!😀

I bought a ukulele recently with the goal of learning how to play….it’s not going so well.  My dogs don’t appreciate my musical skills, but I’m determined to master it!
