My Approach to Helping

I have so much admiration and respect for anyone willing to seek out counseling and do the hard work of examining your life and relationships to identify areas of potential growth and change. I am honored to help provide you with a safe, affirming, judgment free space to assist with your personal journey and exploration. 

I believe that each individual is unique in their struggles and desires for therapy and possesses their own inner wisdom to help guide their process of growth. My priority is to help you identify the best path for working toward your goals and help you access your inner wisdom along with developing new tools and skills to help you move forward. Often someone comes to therapy with a general sense of dissatisfaction in their life without a clear idea of what is wrong; Sometimes they know exactly what is causing their distress or conflict. Both are completely okay, and I welcome you wherever you are. 

I have experience working with individuals of varying ages and backgrounds and am especially passionate about helping those who are experiencing faith transitions and processing religious trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety, struggles with body image and acceptance, and anxiety and perfectionism. I also enjoy supporting parents in implementing positive, connected parenting strategies and improving their relationships with their children.  

I use an integrated therapeutic approach and believe that the most important element of therapy is a connected, trusting relationship. Some therapeutic modalities that I draw from are CBT, mindfulness, experiential, feminist and psychodynamic. 

I am in-network with many commercial insurance carriers. I can also provide a superbill for my out of network clients to help with reimbursement. Please reach out with any questions, we are happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable.

Specialties & Expertise

Life can sometimes become overwhelming, and even the healthiest coping strategies may no longer feel effective. A mental health crisis can occur when emotional distress, traumatic events, or ongoing mental health challenges make it difficult to cope with everyday life. During these times, you may feel overwhelmed, helpless, anxious, or as though you have lost control.

As an outpatient mental health provider, I offer crisis intervention services to help individuals navigate difficult situations, stabilize emotional distress, and develop healthy coping strategies. Together, we will identify immediate concerns, build resilience, and develop practical skills to manage future challenges while supporting your long-term emotional well-being.

Client Focus

Morgan Health Centers offers a variety of mental health services designed to meet the unique needs of each individual. We recognize that every person’s experiences, challenges, and goals are different, which is why treatment is personalized and tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are seeking support for a specific mental health concern, navigating a life transition, or working toward personal growth and emotional wellness, we are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care.

Types of Mental Health Services

Morgan Health Centers offers a variety of mental health services designed to meet the unique needs of each individual. Depending on your treatment plan and clinical needs, services may be provided in one or more of the following formats:

Individual Therapy & Counseling
Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or talk therapy, is a confidential, one-on-one session between you and a licensed mental health professional. In a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment, you can explore personal concerns, develop healthy coping strategies, improve emotional well-being, and work toward meaningful personal goals.

Clinical Social Work
Clinical social work services provide counseling, care coordination, advocacy, and support for individuals facing mental health, emotional, behavioral, or substance use concerns. Services may assist individuals coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, eating disorders, life transitions, and other challenges while helping connect patients with appropriate community resources and support systems.

Ages I Work With

Mental health needs change throughout every stage of life. Major life transitions, relationships, school, work, family responsibilities, aging, and unexpected challenges can all affect emotional well-being. Maintaining healthy habits, such as eating a balanced diet, staying physically active, getting adequate sleep, managing stress, and building healthy relationships, can help support positive mental health and overall wellness.

When mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, or other emotional and behavioral challenges begin to interfere with daily life, obtaining an accurate diagnosis and receiving age-appropriate, individualized treatment are essential. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health services tailored to each person’s unique needs, helping individuals develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and improve their quality of life.

I offer mental health services for:

  • Adults
  • Elders

How I Can Help

Mental health challenges exist on a broad spectrum, ranging from the everyday stressors and life transitions we all experience to more serious emotional distress, mental health crises, and long-term mental health conditions. A mental health crisis occurs when life’s challenges become overwhelming and a person’s usual coping strategies are no longer effective. During these times, individuals may feel helpless, distressed, anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or as though they are losing control of their lives.

I am trained to help individuals navigate these difficult situations by providing compassionate, evidence-based support in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. Together, we can identify the underlying concerns, develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and create practical strategies to manage current challenges and promote long-term emotional well-being.

Some of the client concerns, mental health challenges, and conditions I commonly treat include:

  • Adjusting to Change / Life Transitions
  • Anxiety
  • Body Image
  • Borderline
  • Career Counseling
  • Caregiver Counseling
  • Caregiver Issues / Stress
  • Chronic Illness and Disability
  • Chronic Pain
  • Codependency
  • Complex Posttraumatic Stress (C-PTSD)
  • Depression
  • Divorce / Divorce Adjustment
  • Emotional Overwhelm
  • Emotional Regulation

Psychotherapy, also referred to as talk therapy, psycho-social therapy, counseling, or, simply, therapy, is the primary method for treating mental health problems by talking with a mental health provider. The goal is to help an individual better understand their mental health and teach strategies and tools that manage unhealthy thoughts and behaviors.

While there are many approaches to psychotherapy, there is no single approach that works for everyone. A  therapist may use a blended approach, sampling techniques from several diverse types of psychotherapy. The kind of psychotherapy a person receives depends on their unique needs. 

The following are some of the evidence-based psychotherapy approaches I use to help individuals address mental health concerns, develop healthy coping skills, and achieve their treatment goals. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your unique needs and may incorporate one or more of these therapeutic approaches.

Types of Therapy

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Brief Solution Focused Therapy
  • Client-Centered Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Expressive Arts Therapy
  • Feminist Therapy
  • Integration of Different Therapy Models
  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT)
  • Mindfulness-Based Interventions
  • Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian Therapy)
  • Play Therapy
  • Psychodynamic Therapy
  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Industries & Communities Serves

Community can be defined in many ways, but when simplified down to its most important element, community is all about connection. Community is not just an entity or a group of people, it’s a feeling. It’s feeling connected to others, feeling accepted for who you are and feeling supported.

We’re social beings, and we are not meant to live in isolation. Community is critical for us to thrive, especially for someone with mental illness who is already experiencing the common symptoms of loneliness and isolation. Below are some of the communities I work with to help provide a sense of belonging, support, and purpose.

  • Education
  • LGBTQIA+
  • Military / Law Enforcement
  • Self-Employed and Freelance Professionals
  • Gay Allied
  • Lesbian Allied
  • Non-Binary Allied
  • Open Relationships Non-Monogamy
  • Queer Allied
  • Sex-Positive, Kink Allied
  • Transgender Allied
