Strength isn't the absence of struggle; it's the courage to face it. At Saga Therapy, I help individuals, men, leaders, and couples navigate life's pressures, overcome challenges, and build stronger relationships. My approach combines compassionate, evidence-informed therapy with biblical wisdom, when desired, to explore the experiences, emotions, and relational patterns shaping your life. Rooted in the biblical principle of abiding in Christ, I believe lasting transformation comes not simply through striving harder, but through deeper connection, truth, and grace. Together, we work toward meaningful change, greater resilience, healthier relationships, and a renewed sense of clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Emotion-Focused Therapy Emotion-focused therapy supports emotional awareness and expression, helping individuals understand underlying feelings, transform unhelpful emotional patterns, and develop healthier responses to personal and relationship challenges.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
Approach Description: Lasting change begins from within, and I work to understand your experiences, thought patterns, emotions, faith, and sense of identity. As we delve deeply into the issues at hand and create a roadmap, you gradually see symptoms lifting and clarity for approaching life. Every individual is different and has a unique story. I draw from a storehouse of modalities that I've been trained in to help individuals heal, grow and thrive.
Fees & Insurance
Fees
- Average Session Fee 175
- Affordable sliding scale therapy: apply if you may be eligible.
- I believe financial circumstances should not unnecessarily prevent individuals from accessing meaningful therapeutic support. To help make counselling more accessible, I offer a limited number of sliding scale appointments for individuals experiencing financial hardship. Reduced fees are considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into account financial need and my current caseload capacity. As availability is limited, sliding scale rates are not guaranteed and may be reviewed periodically. If cost is a barrier to receiving counselling, I encourage you to reach out. I would be happy to discuss your circumstances and explore whether a reduced fee arrangement is available.
