The pressure of being a woman in today’s society can be challenging, even for the most successful. The idea that we have to “do it all” in order to “have it all” can be overwhelming. Each stage of a woman's life can present a different set of challenges. Are you struggling as you are entering into adulthood or find retirement to be a challenge? Somewhere in-between? Do you feel guilty because you chose a career over a family, or a family over a career? Maybe you chose both but feel you are not living up to your or everyone else's expectations? Do you feel like part of your life is missing but you are not sure how to find it?

Welcome all!! I want to commend you on initiating the process of self-discovery. This can be an extremely challenging first step. Are feeling overwhelmed and misunderstood? Are your days becoming more challenging? Is anxiety controlling the way you experience life. Managing the effects of traumatic experiences can be hard. Traumatic experiences, especially when you feel alone or that no one understands can be challenging.

Seeking change? All of the answers are already inside of you! I am simply a guide to help you discover them. Considering help of any kind can feel extremely daunting and takes a great deal courage to pursue. Whether you desire resolution for a current life situation, are saddened by loss or grief, or want to cease stubborn patterns, therapy can be incredibly beneficial. With compassion and empathy, I utilize an individualized therapeutic model to support you in finding your inner strength and truth, which will lead you on a path of joy to a life that is truly fulfilling.

You often feel like you're not enough & wonder, how could anyone who has been through what you have deserve anything good? You have an angry fire burning inside of you & up until now it’s only been used to burn your life down. Or maybe you are able to keep the flames at bay within you, but you wonder when you can let it all out. You are toeing the line between continuing to live the life you are unhappy with & seeing what is possible on the other side. Maybe your life has felt heavy & difficult. You struggle to see the silver lining and you hate when people urge you to see the positive in your life. You feel alone in your struggles.

Therapy is about finding what works best for you! As a counselor, I am passionate about working collaboratively with adults and couples that may be struggling with presenting concerns in their behavior, emotions, and/or relationships. I typically work with adults and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, trauma, intimacy, and relationship concerns; as well as those who are looking to improve their overall wellness and who are looking to heal.

I am a Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist in the Heights for 20+ years, trained in cognitive-behavioral & psycho-dynamic approaches. If a deeper understanding of a problem is desired, a psycho-dynamic approach focuses on understanding past family and relationships and patterns allowing for self-growth. In practical issues of changing behavior and/or learning a new approach, a cognitive behavioral approach assesses desired behavior changes, obstacles and strengths to obtain goals. In both approaches, I ask questions in a safe and cooperative style that allows for new perspectives and growth. This is especially helpful in couples therapy.

I’m so happy you’re here. Are you struggling with processing past trauma, boundaries in relationships, or connection with others? Through an open and collaborative relationship, I will listen to you and help you understand your symptoms and identify what you really want out of life - whether that's managing your anxiety, healing your trauma, or feeling more inner peace. Through self-exploration in a safe environment, you can find your own courage and make the changes you're looking for. At your pace and on your terms, I'd be happy to help you cultivate greater insight and navigate through what's currently causing you stress.
