Welcome! Are you looking for support? Want to make a change in your life? I'd love to join you on your journey. I’m passionate about helping people heal and achieve their personal goals, hopes, and dreams. To me, counseling is an individualized process where I get to know you for the unique person you are to best offer support, collaborative problem solving, and resources to help get you where you want to go. People find me to be warm, compassionate, sincere and non-judgmental. I approach my work with holistic wellness in mind and am sensitive to the cultural backgrounds/intersectional identities of those I have the privilege of working with. Because of my expertise and commitment to empowering others, you can build upon your own inherent ability to navigate tough circumstances and the challenges life throws our way in work with me.
I received my Bachelor’s in Human Development & Social Justice and my Master’s of Social Work at Southern University at New Orleans. As an LCSW/LICSW, I'm licensed in Washington, Oregon, Utah, and Arizona with over 10 years experience in counseling. I use a variety of approaches including narrative therapy, existential therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR (not currently offering EMDR on BetterHelp), Gottman Method, Seeking Safety, solution focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, harm reduction, creative expressive therapies, play therapy, and more. I have experience working with all ages- from birth to elders. My experience includes training other counselors, work in counseling centers, in integrated healthcare, in major teaching/research universities, in hospice/homecare, in non-profits, in schools and more in rural and urban areas. Some specialty areas of mine include life transitions, spirituality, trauma, grief, loss, depression, anxiety, relationships, LGBTQ issues, marginalization, personal growth, among others.
Outside of this work, I enjoy spending time in nature, growing food, being with my loved ones, creative projects, and exploring new places.
Everyone deserves support and I look forward to connecting! My biggest hope for our work together is that you will achieve the healing and growth you desire to both feel better and build a deeply meaningful life,

I have been working with Darcy for a little over a year and feel so comfortable and confident with her. She has helped me navigate through a divorce, sexual assault and family & friendship relationships. She has let me go at my pace but also asks me ahead of time, what do you want to talk about this session so we make sure we cover that. We are still going but the way I feel today vs a year ago is tremendous!

From day one of being matched with Darcy, she was helpful, considerate, and supportive. Our sessions have been used to talk about what has been most pressing in my week or exciting.

Darcy is great! I really appreciate the time she takes to make me feel heard, and address what's currently going on with me, not just the initial reason I started therapy. She gives me "homework" (which I asked for), and it helps remind me to take a moment and work on myself, even if I can't do it right then. She empathetic and knowledgeable, and I look forward to our weekly sessions.

Working with Darcy was an absolute joy; I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity. Conversation was always upbeat and solution-oriented, ensuring I always left feeling good about my situation and having a clear idea of what to do next. Just a really nice, smart, good person to listen and reflect with; exactly what I needed for this moment in my life, and I'm nothing but grateful.

Darcy has interesting ways of reframing, or questioning my issues which has allowed me to work through them. Or at least start to open myself up to the work. She also is very supportive and validating, always giving me space to speak and always responding to subtler things, along with the overarching concerns. Darcy is great!
