Meet Dr. Randall
Hello and welcome. If you’re here, you’re likely interested in learning more about how we might work together. You may have been referred by a colleague or a former patient, or you may have come across my work on your own. Either way, I’m glad you’re here. Choosing a therapist is a meaningful decision, and I see this page as an opportunity to give you a clearer sense of who I am, how I approach therapy, and what working together might feel like.
Professionally, I have been providing therapy in one form or another for over twenty years. Over that time, I have developed skills that cannot be learned from books or classrooms. They come from experience, presence, and sustained clinical work with people navigating real and often painful change. While I hold advanced degrees, including a master’s degree in counseling psychology and a doctorate in counselor education and supervision, I place greater value on my ability to create an environment of safety and curiosity. It is within that space that people are able to access aspects of themselves that have long interfered with meeting their needs or living in alignment with what matters most to them.
Compassion, mutual respect, and safety are my core values, though I am not a stereotypically warm and fuzzy therapist. But in all likelihood, I will make you cry. I will listen, and I will care. At the same time, meaningful change often requires more than insight alone. Many of the patterns that keep people stuck developed in response to trauma and a nervous system shaped by hypervigilance.
Together, we will work to understand and soften those patterns so that taking emotional and relational risks becomes possible again. At times this involves a gentle nudge, and occasionally a loving shove, to step beyond familiar comfort zones and move out of the cocooned ways of living that once protected you but may now be limiting growth, novelty, and new meaning.

You may be wondering why I do not take insurance. After two decades in this field, I have come to fully understand an obvious reality: insurance companies do not care about you. In my experience working within insurance systems, I was required to use diagnoses and document in very specific ways in which your pathology is worthy of treatment. That standard is often vague, arbitrary, and ultimately disconnected from the actual work that happens in therapy. It has little to do with who you are, what you need, or how meaningful change occurs.
Enough! I want this process to be clean. I want it to be fully confidential. I do not want your insurance company to know your diagnosis, assuming one is even appropriate. I do not want to think about what language might justify treatment to a third party. I want to think about you, your story, your circumstances, and how I can help you move toward a better life! Simple.
My fee is $250 for a 45 minute session. And yes, it is not insignificant. Neither is your life. I am not trying to sell you anything, and whether you choose to work with me or with someone else is entirely up to you. What matters most to me is that you leave this page with one thing clearly in mind: you are worth it, you are enough, you are not broken, and you are fine exactly as you are.
Hard to believe? Give me a call or shoot me a text, set up a time to talk and we'll take it from there. I have helped hundreds of individuals transform their lives but in that process I learned one valuable thing. Change does not come from fixing something that is broken. It comes from reconnecting with what is already there, beneath the layers life has added. Let me help you.
