If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in a rut, lost, or hopeless, I can help you find a path to feeling like a happier version of yourself again. I help clients feel at-ease enough to be themselves by approaching therapy with a non-judgmental, genuine, and relational approach. I work primarily with pre-teen girls, teenage girls, and young women, as well as members of the LGBTQIA population. I also specialize in psychological testing for individuals age 6 and older, including testing for ADHD, autism, and general questions of finding the right diagnosis and treatment.

I believe that therapy is meant to empower clients to feel that they are capable of change and living a fuller, more integrated life. I work with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families utilizing a bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach in therapy with the goal of creating a safe haven for clients. This simply means integrating the many parts of a person into therapy in the hope of improving one's emotional, spiritual and physical well-being.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young teens (5-15) with neurodevelopmental disorders and behavioral challenges. The world is not designed for neurodiverse individuals, which may cause your child to struggle. I also appreciate working with their siblings and caretakers as I acknowledge it is a unique life experience of loving someone with a neurodevelopmental disorder. To address my client's goals, I utilize evidence-based interventions and techniques from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), pivotal response treatment (PRT), and mindfulness.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
