Waitlist for new clients
It never ceases to amaze me how beautifully unique we all are, and at the most fundamental level, how much we have in common. We all strive for belonging and accomplishment, to be seen and heard. We all have the capacity to fully engage with this human experience: the highs and the lows and everything in between. To decide that you would like counseling, does not imply that you are "sick" or "abnormal." It implies that you are aware. You are aware that you want more, aware that there is a potential wanting to be fulfilled, or aware of a hurt that wants to heal.

"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct" (Carl Jung). I find great joy in working with children of all ages in a therapy setting. It's an honor to me when a child chooses to trust me with their wishes, their fears, and their wonders about life. I have experience working with children individually, in hospitals, and through non-profit work in the community. Through the use of play and arts based therapies, I help to facilitate an environment where children are able to truly be themselves, express their emotions, and have the ability to create the answers they need for themselves.

I’ll be honest with you, change can be challenging, but you and I both know that if nothing changes, nothing changes. Maybe you’re ready to make a change, but you just don’t know where to begin. Perhaps you’ve started making changes, and you’ve hit a roadblock on your journey. I know that it takes courage to seek help when life hurts. It can be difficult to know what to do when you’re under stress. You might feel lost, but there is hope. You don’t have to figure it out alone. Sometimes an objective point of view is what you need to get back on track. It’s my genuine desire to see you grow.

I provide a safe place for you to explore your goals and teach you concrete skills to make meaningful changes.

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.
