I believe that with support and the right therapeutic relationship you can make the changes you want in your life. I am a Certified Sex Therapist and I attended the Sexual Health Certificate Program at the University of Michigan. I work with folks who want to fully experience sexual pleasure, but aren't sure how. This may be related to sexual pain, sexual trauma, or an upbringing lacking education about sexual health. My approach honors and addresses situations in the past, but also gives you ideas about how to feel better in the here and now.

You feel physically, mentally, and emotionally drained! You are consumed by thoughts and feel stuck. You push your own needs to the side and try to cope but find yourself feeling even worse. Maybe you lose patience quickly, find that simple conflict seems to feel explosive and impossible to get past, are having trouble communicating with your partner, and feel incredibly uncomfortable in your own skin. You’ve found ways to just get by, but never feel genuinely balanced, and find yourself wondering if this is really as good as life gets. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. We can work together to create lasting change.

Therapy is the work of enlightenment, healing and creation. It's rediscovering ourselves and our power, healing the wounds endured in life, and creating a new way to experience life and love. This is the work of self-introspection. For me, this is life's work and my passion transcends beyond session. For over 10 years as a Social Worker, I have been building extensive experience overseas, in the edges of society here in the US, and have 6 years of working with those nearing end of life and families/individuals grieving.

I have come to recognize that much like plants and other organic, living things, our minds require consistent care and nurturing. Like plants, we show signs of distress due to changes in environment, unmet needs or trauma. While plants may outwardly show distress with shriveled leaves, human signs of distress often start internally. They affect our thought process, level of functioning and quality of life. However, comparable to plants, humans show a great propensity towards resilience. It is shown that with a little guidance and care we can learn to adapt and even thrive in our environment.

I’ve learned a lot in community mental health, working with individuals that are depressed, anxious, suicidal. Many causes are external, either through relationships or past events, but some are internal, through biology and self-concept. I hope to help people discover themselves and how to accept themselves for who they are. I’m available Mondays and Wednesdays by telehealth and Tuesdays in person.

I believe a trusting relationship between counselor and client is important. I am comfortable working with individuals from diverse cultures and lifestyles and feel being accepting, objective, respectful, and genuine are essential characteristics for working with clients. My goal for the counseling process is to help clients gain personal insight, knowledge and tools that will facilitate continued growth and development after therapy has ended. As your counselor I do not have the answers to your dilemmas, instead I function as a facilitator of the process that will assist you with discovering your own solutions.

Stressed, overwhelmed, and restless minds are welcome here. Have you found yourself beginning to detach from life and relationships; unable to trust those around you, forgive those who hurt you or be your authentic self? Maybe you're tired of people telling you that you're "over analyzing things" or "being too hard on yourself", too sensitive or (gasp!) too spiritual! Meanwhile, you're constantly feeling unworthy inside: like a fraud, a failure, and falling short of the love, career, friends, and abundant life you desire. You've probably googled, "am I depressed" or "how not to be anxious". Traumatic encounters, issues in our family of origin, spiritual confusion and insecurity can leave you in an emotional tailspin.

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.
