1. Are you currently accepting new clients? Do you offer virtual therapy or in-person sessions? Do you take insurance?

I am accepting clients! I am currently only seeing clients virtually. I do not accept insurance, only self-pay. However, I do offer a sliding scale for those who are experiencing financial hardship.

2. What kind of therapy do you specialize in? Do you work with couples or just individuals?

While my official title is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I see all types of clients. I see individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in cultural competency and see clients dealing with issues like life transitions, trauma, and attachment wounds/relationship injuries etc.

3. How do I know if therapy is right for me? 

Therapy can be beneficial for most, but require components like willingness to change and willingness to work. Family and friends can be supportive alongside therapy, but often what we are navigating is beyond the scope of those around us. Just like we entrust our physical health, finances, etc. to professionals, it is important to consult mental health professionals when managing our mental and emotional wellness is beyond our scope and ability to process. 

4. I feel like I can manage my symptoms and handle this on my own. Do I really need to see someone?

You do not need to be at your worst or your breaking point in order to seek care. Any of the following signs are probably good indicators that therapy can be useful for you:

• Stuckness

• Ruminating thoughts

• Unhealthy relationships

• Operating in dysfunction

• Navigating a traumatic experience

• Constantly dysregulated emotions

• Life transition

• Difficulty getting back to your norm after a hard season of life

5. How do you balance faith and mental health in your work? What do you offer for churches and ministry leaders? 

I absolutely love this space of integration! Different therapists will have various ways to integrate therapy that fall all along a spectrum of methods. Personally, I like to do so implicitly and explicitly, depending on the client. For those who want to integrate conversations about God into session, we do! For those who do not, we don’t. In my personal life, the two are incredibly overlapped, but with clients, they set the pace for what it looks like in session.
Alongside providing therapy to my clients, I also provide workshops and consultations to churches and ministry leaders! It’s a joy to help equip and work alongside those who serve their congregants and communities so diligently.
