You may notice I use the word "counseling" throughout this site rather than "therapy" — and you might wonder if that means something different, or something less. It doesn't. In practice, the two words are often used interchangeably, though "therapy" tends to carry a slightly more clinical connotation, focused on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, while "counseling" is often associated with guidance through specific struggles, transitions, or patterns that keep someone stuck. Both, at their core, involve a trained professional helping you understand yourself more clearly and make changes that last.As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), my training encompasses both. I'm equipped to provide traditional talk therapy for anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns, as well as the more solution-focused, growth-oriented work that "counseling" often implies — things like navigating a life transition, building healthier habits, or working through burnout before it becomes a bigger problem. Whichever word feels more comfortable to you, the services you'll find here draw from both.
