Partnering Counselors

These former counseling center interns have chosen to remain on-site and establish their own practices as TSC Counseling Center partners. Payments and scheduling are separate, but the quality is the same! Each counselor has an affordable base fee then works off a sliding scale based on the client's income. Contact the TSC counseling office for more information.

If you are someone who is experiencing anxiety, depression, or having problems with the ability to navigate life as you'd like, I can help. I am EMDR trained which is scientifically proven to help many types of emotional challenges. In addition, I am certified in the Prepare/Enrich tool, a wonderful aid in pre-marital counseling and for marriages that are not in crisis, but need better ways to communicate and manage conflict. As a compassionate therapist who will champion your strengths, I'd love to join you on your journey by offering you a safe, non-judgmental environment.
