“I’m so tired but I can’t sleep. I lie awake at night feeling paralyzed and unable to breathe…my body feels hot, my stomach hurts and my heart races. I replay every embarrassing or shameful moment of my day…of my life… on repeat in my mind; I feel like a failure. I’m convinced that everyone is judging me. ‘What if…’ thoughts consume me. I never feel good enough!” Sound familiar? If you are tired of avoiding things, people pleasing, numbing, striving for perfection, worrying about everything…you are in the right place. I can help.

Over thirty years of experience partnering with clients of all ages, from a wide variety of backgrounds, has confirmed for me each person has within themselves the resources and ability to become the person they wish to be and to improve their satisfaction in life. As a therapist I partner with each client helping them to identify patterns of thought and behavior that are no longer effective and guide them in discovering new, more rewarding ways of relating and connecting with others. I work collaboratively with clients to solve problems, connect with strengths, and reach their personal and professional goals.

To benefit from therapy it is important that you and your family feel safe and comfortable. As you work together to develop new problem-solving and coping skills your therapist needs to demonstrate well-developed listening skills combined with the ability to be straightforward and supportive as you move forward. It is also important that your therapist presents with solid credentials and experience in the areas in which you need assistance. I have been told by my adolescent clients and their parents that they feel comfortable and respected, while also provided with skills that can be practiced between visits.

If you are searching for a therapist who will patiently but persistently work with you to meet your personal goals, I will do that. Entering therapy does not require full readiness to change; it takes a willingness to explore where life as you live it now might not match the life you want. Therapy is a collaborative process, so we will work together to identify your goals and plot a strategy to arrive there. I am experienced in working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, including LGBT.

You have found your way here to feel better about the unique individual that is "you." Maybe you would like to see yourself in a more positive light. You could want to be less stuck or stressed with a relationship. Or perhaps you are tired of feeling afraid while it seems like anxiety runs your life. During times of uncertainty or change, It's normal for individuals to feel isolated. You are not alone. It takes courage to reach out for help, especially in the middle of struggle.

I believe that everyone has a natural inclination toward positive growth and development, but that life's challenges can block forward movement. These challenges can take the form of depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, transitions, anger, and difficult relationships. I provide a comfortable, supportive, and accepting environment in which to explore obstacles and strengths in order to make positive change. I have experience working with people adjusting to serious medical conditions, brain injury, physical disabilities, and those adjusting to pregnancy, raising children, and child loss.

Available before 2pm only- Reaching out for support can be hard, but you are not alone. Everyone has experienced their own life journey involving grief/loss, relational ruptures, parenting struggles or trauma. Sometimes this journey can leave adults in a place where it is hard to find the motivation to complete everyday tasks, manage life stress or have patience with our loved ones. This can be true for children too, which may cause them to struggle in school, have emotional outbursts or display signs of anxiety. No matter what is bringing you, your child, or family to this moment in time, I am honored to be a part of your journey.

I'm a therapist+musician who loves working with people on their journeys to healthier relationships and becoming their authentic selves. I was raised fundamentalist and spent my childhood learning fire and brimstone theology and memorizing verses from the King James Bible. Needless to say I chose to leave the "sinners in the hands of an angry God" mentality behind when I grew up. The truth is, being hard on ourselves doesn't help us or anyone else. But compassion, love, acceptance and presence connect us to who we really are, and who we can become.

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.
