Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile and for being open to this experience. I view the counseling process as developing a relationship between the counselor and client in which we explore and define the client's presenting issue. We would then work together to examine those issues and create counseling goals to improve the client's welfare. I strive to have my clients feel warmth, genuineness, and understanding within the counseling relationship. Trust and mutual respect are also needed components to enhance the counseling experience.

I believe in the importance of building a strong counseling relationship to create an avenue for change. Our initial session together will be focused around exploring and setting goals and seeing if we are the right fit to help you reach those goals. You might be feeling confused or scared about where to turn and how to start. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who doesn't already know you. Someone who won't judge you. That is why I focus on creating a safe space in which you will feel comfortable.

Sometimes it feels like your illness runs your life. Each morning, you wake up wondering if it will be a “bad day" or a "good day" knowing that your body will make that decision. You might have migraines, stomach issues, and even chronic pain. Maybe you’re overwhelmed with managing a chronic illness, organizing doctor’s appointments, and tracking symptoms. You feel embarrassed at the thought of feeling bad when you go out - so you just don't go out. You're obsessed with “eating clean” or you have lost the ability to tell when you’re full or hungry because you feel so disconnected from your body and your cues.

Through my life experience and education I believe developing supportive relationships has the power to reduce the effects of trauma for a child, parents and families. I approach therapy sessions differently depending on the client’s needs and goals. If it is the client’s goal to work on a current obstacle in life or lifetime of trauma I see it as an honor to help the client navigate the process of healing. Allowing a safe space for people to explore their emotions and develop skills to create a congruent environment around them and navigate the unknowns in life.

"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be"( Lao Tzu). Life transitions are a constant thread in our lives, and sometimes a person needs a little guidance to help them make the transition and evolve from their efforts. As a social worker for more than 24 years, my clinical practice has enabled me to work with a diverse group of people representing all ages and stages of their lives and careers. I have appreciated helping each one with their challenges as they worked through their changes to evolve to their next stage of life.

I enjoy working with children and adults in a personalized approach tailored to each patient's unique situation. My theoretical background is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, play therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, but I pull from many sources in creating a treatment plan. I enjoy tackling diagnostic puzzles and working closely with patients and families to get to the bottom of what causes disruption in someone's life. Most consider me direct and no nonsense. I trained in Exposure Response Prevention for OCD treatment in both children and adults and enjoy these treatment challenges.

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.
