About Me
Owner · Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” That quotation resonates with me because, as a therapist, I have had the privilege of walking alongside people during times when they have felt alone, vulnerable, or overwhelmed. With my help, they learned to take time to “listen” to their emotions, gain clarity and subsequently, relate to themselves, others, and the world in a much healthier way.
So often, when we are alone during a difficult time, our ability to see beyond such challenges becomes compromised. Our vision narrows and hope dims. But through the collaborative efforts of the client and the therapist, healing, growth, and change can happen.
The Plan
Counseling is a journey we take together.
Here is what you can expect along the way.
The idea of reaching out to another individual when you are hurting, lonely, or in a vulnerable place can be overwhelming. I believe that authentic connection is about meeting you where you are in your journey toward healing and personal growth. I seek to establish a relationship that is rooted in compassion, trust, and respect while providing a safe space for you to share your story.
At its core, the counseling relationship is a partnership, a “together endeavor.” We each play an important role in your journey toward change. Your role is to be open to the process, honest, and intentional about which topics you would like to address. My role is to listen intently, ask clarifying questions and gain understanding. While I may have knowledge and experience about counseling theories and the counseling process, you are the expert about you!
As counseling progresses and we delve more deeply into your story, staying committed to the process is necessary. While the word “challenge” may not be a word that readily comes to mind when you think about counseling, long lasting change often results from effective challenges. When used appropriately and grounded in compassion, challenge is an essential part of the process in helping you reach your therapeutic goals.
People enter counseling for a variety of reasons: to seek healing from past wounds, gain insight on unhealthy patterns of behavior, learn effective strategies to manage emotions, or build resilience to face oncoming storms. Regardless of the reason, people generally come to counseling for the same reason people cross over bridges, to overcome an obstacle and ultimately reach their desired destination.
What I Can Help With
Individual therapy for late adolescents and young adults (18-25),
adults, and couples.
Plain and Simple
CrossBridge is an in‑network provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna. If you haven’t yet met your deductible, your fee will be the contracted rate based on your insurance carrier. If you have met your deductible you will pay a copay, which varies with each plan.
Because we are licensed, many insurance companies without network benefits will reimburse a percentage of the fee. We will provide an insurance statement to clients who want to file for insurance reimbursement. Most insurance companies require diagnostic impressions. You may understandably elect not to use your insurance to protect your confidentiality or to avoid a mental disorder label. Don’t hesitate to call with any questions.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non‑emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

Testimonials
Clients who made the crossing,
in their own words.
Trish is honest and direct, yet in a way that is refreshing and liberating. She is excellent at speaking challenges that, at times, were hard to hear, but that I knew came out of a relentless pursuit to help me journey towards healing.
Madison · Age 34
Without a doubt, I can say that my life is better because of my time in counseling with Trish. She created a space where I felt comfortable to put down the roles that I was in and to allow myself to be human: broken, hurting, and messy. Her compassion, humor, clarity, knowledge, and challenges helped me heal. And I am better for it.
Brad · Age 35
Trish has a way of looking at problems through a very practical lens, something an overthinking mind like my own can really benefit from. Her expertise in EMDR helped me navigate and even overcome issues I had dealt with for years. I highly recommend her if you need help dealing with past traumas or simply managing the chaos that seems to come with being human these days!
