I've had the privilege to work with individuals and groups with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem/or low confidence, overwhelming stress, burn out, lack of motivation, anger/irritability, and spiritual issues.
Often the weight of the world can feel all-consuming and everyday tasks can come with fear and avoidance. Perhaps even the thought of reaching out to begin therapy ignites feelings of dread. However, deep down, you know you deserve better – because you do! I would be honored to navigate the anxiety, the stress, the sadness, and more with you. Together, we will build upon the strengths you already hold inside, and work to understand the thoughts and feelings that come with everything else.

I specialize in working with HSP's who are struggling with anxiety or grief and loss.
Have you been told you’re too sensitive or too emotional?  You don't understand why your emotions feel so intense, why things bother you so much, or why you overthink and overanalyze.  You wonder why life often feels so overwhelming and overstimulating. You think that if you could just be more like everyone else, life would be easier and things would improve.  You long for close relationships but even that feels difficult and complicated at times.  You want to understand why you are so different and you don't want life to feel so hard.

I also work with adults struggling with relationships, depression, and anxiety.
I believe in meeting clients where they are at emotionally and helping them and their parents reach their goals. Through a positive relationship with my client I try to help them gain insight into their desire to belong and have significance. I continually work to create a supportive environment for children in order for the child to gain insight and understanding into their unique world. With insight the child and therapist can collaborate to reduce the child's current stressors possibly leading to problematic behaviors.

You’ve tried everything to make this toxic relationship work - tips from all of the podcasts, self-help books, and Psychology Today articles you could find. Nothing is working. You put on a happy face for the sake of everyone else. You don’t want to make them uncomfortable, so you stuff your emotions, sweep them under the rug, and bottle up your pain. It hurts so much to hold it in that you’re worried that you're going to snap - burst out in tears at work or get angry and yell something that you’ll regret later.

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.
