You're In the Right Place If...

  • You are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stuck.

  • You are navigating a major life transition.

  • You are struggling in relationships.

  • You are feeling some deep depression.

These things are not easy to talk about.

Hope Counseling is a place...

where you can show up just as you are. I aim to create a space that is safe and nonjudgmental, warm and collaborative - a place grounded in real-life tools and insights - 

and is respectful of your pace and your story.

My office and waiting areas are intentionally designed to feel warm , comfortable and inviting - more like a quiet cabin than a clinical space.

It's a space where you can settle in, take a breath, and feel at ease.

Hope Counseling is a space...

where you will feel truly heard, understood and supported, and a space where you can feel safe enough to explore and grow. 

Together, we'll explore the difficult things in your life, and work toward a path that feels more manageable, through thoughtful, personalized care, and practical tools that you can actually use.

Whatever brought you here, you are welcome.

My work is grounded in evidence based practices and decades of experience., while also honoring your unique experiences, identity and goals.

I believe that therapy works best when it's:

I don't believe that we need to have everything figured out in order to begin. That would be a fantasy. But I do believe that , with the right support, it's possible to move through even the most difficult experiences and find a sense of stability, resilience and hope.

Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor each session to you - your story, your needs and your pace. Together we will focus on helping you to make the changes that are necessary for you to find peace, joy and hpe in your life.

What to Expect

Sessions are 50 minutes in length, and are primarily in-person, although I do some occasional virtual sessions when needed. 

My fee per session is $120 per session for all types of therapy.

While fees are due at the time of service, many insurance companies will provide reimbursement to the client for services at Hope Counseling

I will provide the completed paperwork for each session so that the only task for the client is to mail the completed forms into their insurance company. The insurance company will send reimbursement directly to the client, depending upon what is allowed for counseling services.

Frequency of sessions is based on your needs.
