“Should you shield the valleys from the windstorms, you would never see the beauty of their canyons.” - Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. It takes courage to embrace the healing process, so I would like to say thank you for taking this first step in finding support. It is my honor to help my clients process life transitions including major changes and loss. As a certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) provider, I have walked alongside trauma survivors who have experienced abandonment, abuse, neglect, grief, and domestic violence.

I provides therapy to individuals and families for a range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress and conflict, life transitions, grief and loss, and behavioral issues.
I work with children (5+), adolescents (families) and adults. Children often exhibit behaviors such as outbursts, meltdowns or withdrawal that indicate their cry for help. Pre-teens, teens and adults will often exhibit signs of depression and anxiety or even physical symptoms such as stomach aches, headaches, sleep disturbances or other health concerns that are often a sign of their internal struggles. No matter the age I believe all can benefit from mental health services. I believe strongly in the mind-body connection and use this belief to guide the therapeutic process to meet your unique needs.

Life can be challenging, and the ruptures we experience can leave us physically, mentally, and spiritually disjointed. When fractures occur, your body may hold stress even when your mind does not remember its origin, often leaving a sense of being stuck or dysregulated. Finding words to express these feelings can be difficult, but with the guidance of a therapist, you can expand your understanding and discernment, helping to move you in a new direction.

Therapy can be scary. It takes a lot of courage to seek support. As a therapist, I believe art making provides another language to communicate and process life experiences that are difficult to verbalize. Mark making represents evidence of our existence, and having a witness to your story is a powerful first step.

Did you struggle to build essential life skills due to growing up without much support or adequate psychological nurturance? Or you were born in a healthy and loving family, but life did not turn as planned? Feeling stuck in life, having lost its purpose, feeling lonely and unable to build or maintain healthy relationships, going through a loss (of a loved one, an opportunity, a job, an ability, or even a dream), all of these can take your energy and prevent you from living your best life. Turning a crisis into an opportunity can be a painful process.

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.
