An LCSW in either state can call themselves a psychotherapist.

    If insurance is not paying, then telehealth is $80 a 60-minute hour and live, face-to-face is $100 a 60-minute hour.
  • Do you do Christian Counseling?
    Yes, I can specifically provide Christian Counseling as I am myself, Christian. I can also provide counseling and psychotherapy to people on different spiritual paths without judgment nor attempts to influence their belief system to match my own.
  • Do you work with active addicts and alcoholics?
    I can only work with addicts and alcoholics who are ready for Stage 2 recovery work. I cannot work to help people get sober. But I can work to help people stay sober.
  • Do you go to court, talk with attorneys or write letters for attorneys? 
    No.
  • Do you do couple’s therapy?
    No.
  • How do you work with adults who have post-traumatic stress disorder or some other form of anxiety or depressive disorder?
    I prefer to work with the identified client and their adult support person. We don’t exist in a vacuum; we exist in a system. Anxiety-related disorders can disrupt that system. Depression or traumatic grief can, too. A loving support person alongside the person who is experiencing anxiety or depression benefits from someone at their side to help ground them, encourage them, understand them and be a supporting member of their team. And that person may be their significant other. Couple’s therapy is a correct-the- problems-in-the-relationship style of therapy. If one’s PTSD, depression or anxiety is the problem in the relationship, then trauma therapy or self-relationship therapy precedes couple’s therapy.
  • Do you work with special needs adults?
    Yes, but only if their caregiver is a part of the session
