It is with deep intention that we strive to live quality lives with profound connections to ourselves & others. When we find ourselves sinking it can be an overwhelming task to make moves in order to shift us to make an empowering transformation. Whether it is trauma from abuse, infidelity, or addiction therapy can be a place of renewal. I focus mainly on couples and family systems in order to achieve healing & restoration. The beauty in life is that the quality of our being can always improve and therapy can bring a fresh perspective & shed light on something that seems anchored in darkness.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, or having relationship issues, consider exploring how therapy can help. I invite you to reach out and begin the journey toward a more balanced, fulfilling life. As a therapist, I often hear questions such as - "Is there something wrong with me?" or "Am I broken?" I firmly believe that people are not inherently broken; rather, they are carrying wounds that can heal. My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy and understanding, with the belief that every wound holds the potential for healing.

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.
