Since graduating from the Michigan School of Psychology with a Masters in 1993 I have been dedicated to increasing my skill in both traditional and complementary therapies including CBT, solution focused, Imago Relationship Therapy, body energy awareness, Internal Family Systems, Interactive Guided Imagery, Voice Dialogue, and meditative practices.
Welcome to my psychotherapy practice. Finding unique solutions that create the most effective changes for my clients has motivated me through my 20 plus years of clinical experience. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples, specializing in anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationships. Having created and managed small businesses most of my career, I’m skilled in supporting managers and business owners in navigating difficult personalities and work dynamics. I have 30 years of teaching experience, including 20 as a certified meditation teacher, and a decade teaching Spanish in corporate settings.

Life will sometimes be hard. I have a myriad of experience working with issues ranging from anxiety, relationship struggles, grief & loss, trauma, divorce, depression and many more. I can compassionately support you through these struggles to get to the other side...back to a place of stability and peace. I am adept at meeting individuals where they are and tailoring my treatment to their needs. Through the years I have found that a "one size fits all" approach is often useless. I'm skilled at identifying the best way to work with each client. I love my work and am honored to support others on their journey of healing & growth.

You may be wondering what a counseling experience feels like. Let's begin by picturing counseling as a "walking alongside" relationship during a painful, conflicted, or confused time. As we begin talking together, your concerns, and your desires for counseling will lay the foundation for clarifying your goals for therapy. Often, a creative plan for removing obstacles in the way helps us get unstuck and moving forward quite naturally.

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.
