I currently work with individuals, couples, teens and families with issues including: Depression, Anxiety, Stress Adjustment problems, Grief and Loss, Couples issues, Substance use, Adolescent issues and Parent-Child Relationships I also have experience facilitating groups including: parenting skill building, youth creative expression, addiction support in recovery, and anger management.
Are you struggling with your emotions or relationships? I am here to help you find strength, resiliency, hope and solutions. I feel the goal of therapy is cultivating the self-confidence and compassion that is needed to help cope with all the uncertainties and difficulties in life. Can we be curious instead of judgmental as daily moments occur? The therapeutic alliance between client and therapist strengthens the integration of body, mind, and spirit, leading not only to a focus on personal healing, but on achieving greater well-being, peace, and passion for life.

Are you in emotional pain? Stressed, stuck in worry, exhaustion, or anger? Are you repeating the same type of relationship, pattern, or life situation, wishing you could change something or break the cycle? Or maybe, you've noticed that little things have become much more frustrating or stressful than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what is causing our distress, but we can sense that we're not reaching our full potential for health, happiness, or success. And, even if we do know what the issue is, sometimes change can still feel impossible. That's where I can help. I can teach you practical tools you can use to change your life.

Therapy (which comes from the Greek word "to change"), is a very brave and personal endeavor that an individual and/or family undertakes to gain insight into their emotional state, decisions that have been made or to understand behavior. I have a great deal of experience working with families in crisis, children and adolescents with special education needs, adults and parents that are seeking support to parent a difficult and/or challenging child. In addition, I utilize a very supportive, nurturing yet directive approach in my therapeutic 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.
