Hi! I am so glad you’ve decided to put yourself and your needs first. Finding a therapist is not always easy, however, it is so important to have a safe space to heal. Moving through life carrying around unresolved feelings can weigh us down. Life can often have unexpected moments, thrusting you into a situation you may have never encountered and leaving you unsure of how to manage. While I don’t have all of the answers, I specialize in providing guidance to those who have faced profound life struggles and might be grappling with a sense of hopelessness or just feeling stuck.

I believe that therapy is less like an onion and more like a garlic clove. Instead of trying to peel back the layers, we learn to understand, integrate, and balance all of the pieces that make us who we are. Whatever path life has taken you down, I'm here to listen and reassure you that you are not alone. Healing looks different for everyone. Through my background in mental health nursing, I approach counseling by integrating professional experience with a deep understanding of mental health utilizing a variety of theoretical lenses and interventions to individuals, couples, parents, and families.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging, however it is so important to have a safe space for you to heal. Having supportive, compassionate and honest relationships is an essential part of life and wellbeing.

Special interests include relationship and identity issues; adolescent and women's issues; anxiety and PTSD; blended families; and lesbian/gay/bisexual/ transgender concerns.
Twenty-five years into it, I still love being a counselor and psychotherapist. It is an honor and a privilege to be involved in the personal struggle and transformation of each client, couple, and family I see. I regard therapy more as an art than a science, though I certainly utilize current research in my practice. Most often my clients present problems in living rather than "mental illness" per se and they appreciate my attention to their strengths, resources, and spiritual concerns.

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.
