Who I Help—And Why
Therapy That Gets to the Point
Couples
For partners who can’t stop arguing, aren’t talking at all, or feel like roommates instead of teammates.
Men (Adults)
For men dealing with stress, anger, or emotional shutdown. We’ll build tools to communicate, stay grounded, and respond with clarity.
Women (Adults)
For women facing burnout, anxiety, or relationship strain. Therapy helps you reset, set boundaries, and feel like yourself again.
Teens (12+)
For adolescents dealing with school stress, big emotions, identity confusion, or that all-too-familiar teenage shutdown.
Military & First Responders
For those carrying what most people couldn’t even imagine—let’s unpack it in a space where you don’t have to explain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions?
Totally Normal
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you’re asking that question, therapy is probably a good idea. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit—if something’s off, let’s talk.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes! I see clients virtually anywhere in Arizona, and in-person at my Chandler office. Pajamas on your couch? Totally allowed.
How much does therapy cost?
Couples assessments are $200, regular sessions are $150, and individual sessions are $100.
Do you accept insurance?
I don’t bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill—a receipt you can submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. Every plan’s different, so it’s worth calling your provider to ask if they cover out-of-network therapy. If they do, great! If not, I’m still happy to work with you to find a payment option that fits.
Are you supervised?
Yes. I’m a Licensed Associate Counselor in Arizona and work under board-approved clinical supervision—transparency always.
