Areas of focus

Specialize in Treating

Mental health issues are sadly on the rise. Here are the problems I treat regularly.

Trauma

If not treated, trauma can negatively affect you the rest of your life.

Depression

Depression is at an all time high. Don't let them suffer.

Anxiety

More people struggle with anxiety disorders than any other mental condition.

Behavior Issues

About 8.9% of children ages 3-17 have been diagnosed with a behavior problem (CDC). But it can be treated.

Personality Disorders

Personality disorders untreated can lead to depression and other issues. Get help early.

Why Spark

Why Spark Therapy

Thoughtful details that make therapy easier to start and easier to stick with.

Evenings Available

Many people have a hard time being able to meet during regular business hours. For this reason I offer evening sessions.

24/7 Emergency Text Line

Sometimes you can't wait for your next session. I provide a HIPAA-compliant text line for urgent support and respond as soon as I'm in a confidential space.

Discreet

My office is strategically located so no one will know you're receiving counseling services unless you want them to.

HSA Accepted

To make things easier on my clients I am set up to accept HSA debit cards as payment.

HIPAA Compliant

I take HIPAA compliance seriously. Extra measures are taken to make sure I am following HIPAA guidelines.

Come to You

If you can't make it into the office, and an online session won't do, I come to you. I offer on location sessions.

School Notes

I can provide school notes to help accommodate therapy during school hours and keep your child on track.

Where I meet

Appointment Options

I offer a variety of options when it comes to therapy location.

In Office

In office therapy is the industry standard and what I prefer.

Virtual

If in person isn't an option, I am able to offer virtual session as needed.

On Location

In some situations therapy is best done in the home or school. I can accommodate.

FAQ

Common questions

When will I hear back?

I check messages regularly during business hours and aim to respond within 24–48 hours. As a solo provider, I personally handle every call, text, and email, so response times may be a little slower on evenings and weekends. If you need urgent support, the HIPAA-compliant text line is the fastest way to reach me.

What can the text line help with?

The text line is for quick, non-emergency support between sessions—things like scheduling changes, a question that came up after a session, or a brief check-in. If you are in crisis or having thoughts of harming yourself or someone else, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room rather than texting.

Will my information stay confidential?

Yes. I follow HIPAA guidelines and take privacy seriously. Because I am a sole provider, your information stays with me and is not shared across a larger clinic or team. There are limited exceptions to confidentiality, such as concerns about imminent harm to yourself or others, suspected child or elder abuse, or a court order. I’m happy to discuss this in more detail at any time.
