My Specialties & Services
COUPLES THERAPY: Are you tired of going in circles with criticism and defensiveness in your marriage? Do you feel like the wall between you gets thicker and taller every week? Do you feel stuck in resentment and hurt? Simply hoping that things will somehow get better can cost you more in the end. Your partner relationship is a huge part of your life and is deeply impacting. It can affect your mood, your physical health, your sleep, your work, and other relationships. Whether you struggle a lot, or you simply want to iprove your communication, couples therapy is something worth investing in!
Part of my calling is to help Christian couples escape patterns that undermine their marriage so they can create a safe environment and develop a deeper connection. I have two years of intensive couple’s therapy training, and I am equipped to help you into a healthy and fulfilling relationship. Backed by neuroschience and biblical principles, I offer an integrated model that leads you in a process of better understanding yourself in times of relational distress. You will learn the process of lasting transformation (Rom.12:2). I offer a powerful video series to help you move forward faster, coplete with outlines homework, and some bonus material as well!
Most insurance does not cover marriage counseling, so unless you have a clear clinical condition that directly affects your marriage, I am not able to take insurance for couples counseling. Sessions are $150, which includes access to the Redeemed Marriage Program valued at $800.
I Work With Individuals, Couples, Families, & Groups
Individual Therapy
I would be honored to walk with you on your journey towards restoration, healing, and growth. If you feel stuck in patterns that keep you from becoming all you want to be, we can find a proven path and strategies to lift your life to a new level. You will become familiar with powerful concepts that can be applied to most situations and relationships and so form a framework of how to navigate life wisely and successfully.
Couples Therapy
Whether you find yourselves at the brink of divorce, have been through an afair, or every conversation seems to escalate, I can help you get on solid ground. I use a proven framework that can help you improve communication, restore trust, and help you find a deeper connection over time. I have two years of concentrated and specialized training in couples therapy and can help you create safety and mutuality in your relationship.
Group Therapy
At certain times of the year, I hold online group sessions for couples to help you improve your marriage on many levels. An online video course is combined with weekly live mentoring. The group setting is an excellent way to connect with other couples and learn from each other.

My Approach
Your strengths are important in therapy. Even though you may feel inadequate or defeated, believe me, your strengths are still there! As we work together, you will find evience after evidence of gifts, skills, courage, and resilience inside you!
My approach is systemic, meaning that I look at the context of family of origin, present family relationships, early attachment patterns, and how this relates to the issues at hand. What we so often feel is “wrong” with us is simply a very normal reaction to abnormal situations we have been through. As you gain understanding, you can also learn to have more compassion on yourself, and this is a vital piece in your healing! I also so appreciate the fact that the brain has full capacity to change through a person’s entire life span (neuroplasticity). This gives you hope, and there is a proven path to get there!
I believe that God gave us clear wisdom in how to navigate life successfully. Principles based on this ancient wisdom work every time, because they are as sure as the law of gravity or any other physical law we trust with our lives. Transformation happens when we begin to live out of more authentic parts of ourselves. We can learn how to help the more “unruly” parts of ourselves become less extreme and actually turn into helpful allies.
The journey of healing and growth is not always easy, but gradually you will see tangible progress in your life and you gain understanding and learn to connect the dots. There is nothing better than experiencing the stability, peace, and satisfaction that come from feeling a whole lot more in control of your life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which insurances do you accept?
At this time, I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, United HealthCare, HealthChoice, and UMR. I no longer accept EAP’s. My private pay rate is $135.00 per session for Individual Counseling and $150 for Couples Counseling.
Do you offer free initial consultation phone calls?
Beyond the initial contact of setting up appointments, providing practical information, and confirming insurance benefits, I do not offer free initial sessions due to an extremely full schedule.
What is your cancellation policy?
I ask for a minimum of 48 hour cancellation notice. You will receive reminders via text or email the day before your appointment, and if you contact me at that time, we can work on rescheduling. Same day cancellation or a no-show will result in a charge equal to full insurance pay.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Even though I prefer in-person sessions, I do offer virtual sessions. This is also available during inclement weather or other situations that make it difficult to come in person.
Do you see children and teens?
I want to focus on areas where I function the best, so I do not see children or teens, only adults.
How often should I come?
Depending on the severity of your issue, finances, and other possible factors, this can be discussed during your first session. Most clients come weekly or bi-weekly. Sometimes, after an extended period of sessions, clients find it helpful to come once a month for “maintenance.”
