I have 8 years experience in private practice and university settings and have worked extensively with adult clients struggling with a wide range of life challenges.

I believe in utilizing the mind- body connection in order to effectively access the body’s healing power. Life has its challenges and during this uncertain time it helps to have extra support and encouragement to confidently face the future with hope and optimism. I became a counselor because I love helping people find their inner strength and motivation to make positive changes in their lives. I look forward to working with you!

When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Log Cabin therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?
Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Log Cabin licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.

Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information.
