My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection—with a touch of humor along the way.

Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I tailor our work to help you feel empowered, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change.

Danielle Keys at Headway
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S.ED, LCPC
I am a legally-blind counselor who listens carefully to client's needs to determine what works and what may not be effective. A collaborative approach is used to meet your needs.

Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
I am trained in evidence-based practices for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, panic and phobias, trichotillomania and skin picking (BFRBs), and athlete mental health. I offer a client-focused, non-judgmental environment where you can address feelings of uncertainty, learn and implement new skills, and make meaningful changes in your life. Together, we will examine the challenges you are facing, set clear goals, and develop a plan to minimize the impact of stress and anxiety on your daily functioning. Building trust is fundamental to the therapeutic relationship, and I strive to meet individuals where they are at the start of therapy. My approach is goal-oriented, supportive, and collaborative.
