In my early career -medical social work- I developed a passion for working with individuals facing chronic and life-limiting illness. I learned so much in being open and present; supporting families navigating a very challenging medical system. Eventually my desire to provide more focused care led me away from the hospital and into private practice with a focus in the specialty area(s) of grief, trauma and anxiety. My unique background has helped me confidently evolve into a clinician able to support individuals facing any crucial life transition or emotional challenge.

The journey of therapy is the journey of healing, as said by Tori Amos: “Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.” I use the word “journey” because becoming our best and most healthy selves is a never-ending journey of constantly unfolding, experiencing moments in life, and attaching meaning to them, even in the most difficult times. Healing means taking the step of facing and "owning your stuff", accepting the things we cannot change, and being able to sit comfortably in the uncomfortable parts of our selves and our experiences.

My hope is to provide a gentle and affirming therapeutic space where those I work with can be their most free and authentic selves. Using a trauma-informed lens and culturally sensitive methods and modalities, I offer a safe environment in which others can feel wholly supported as they tap into their natural gifts and skills to meet their unique needs, navigate life stressors and challenges, and find healing within themselves. I am very client-led as I believe each person is the expert of their own life. The relationship we build is sacred and I honor the identities and experiences each individual bring with them into the room.

I am a clinical social worker that understands the challenges of the times that we are living through. I recognize that the pandemic, the economy, the increase in violence, the effects of global warming, and racial injustice have all served to create worry in some and outright panic in others. If the instability of these times has triggered symptoms of worry, anxiety, depression and trauma; if it has compounded the stress of an already challenging situation including stress from employment, chronic illness, relational problems, caregiver burnout or a mental health diagnosis; I am available to provide compassionate services.

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.
