THERAPY
WHY DO I NEED COUNSELING?
People pursue counseling and therapy for a variety of reasons. Some come needing to process or discuss a specific issue, for example the death of a loved one or infidelity in the relationship. Others come because they are feeling stuck and don't know how to move forward on their own. It can be extremely beneficial to have an outsider's perspective on what is happening in your world, and the therapy experience provides empathy and validation. Although we may struggle, the difficult times and hardships we experience do not have to define how we live or who we become. I believe there is freedom found in bringing light to our darkness. My intention is that each session moves towards this place.

I do not accept insurance because grief and most couple/family therapy issues are not mental health issues, meaning they are not diagnosable mental health disorders. Filing an insurance claim requires a mental health disorder diagnosis. As is appropriate and ethical, I can provide UPON REQUEST a “superbill” that includes the codes necessary so that you may file for reimbursement with your insurance provider; this is the only assistance I provide in the claim process. Should you decide to contact your insurance company about reimbursement rates, I am considered an out-of-network provider.
