My perspective is that struggles can occur when we are ashamed of events in our lives, or carry past regrets. Without addressing personal issues, we begin to believe problems are a part of us and deal with life without the ability to separate the pain from day to day circumstances. I will support you to experience freedom, accountability, confidence and kindness toward yourself and others.

I bring many years of experience in partnering with individuals on their journey towards healing and life satisfaction. I provide a comprehensive range of therapeutic services to adults and adolescents of all ages. I specialize in treatment for those coping with or recovering from narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic abuse can have a profound impact on self-esteem, leading to self-doubt and introspection: ‘Why did I stay so long? Why can’t I change them? Is everything really my fault? How can I trust myself to choose a healthy romantic partner in the future?’ As a survivor of narcissistic abuse, I wrestled with those questions myself.

Day to day life can be exhausting, stressful and anxiety inducing. It is easier said than done to “enjoy the little things in life,” when we have so many outside pressures weighing on us. When we feel overwhelmed by these pressures our mental health and personal relationships can suffer. When our environment seems too overwhelming we can find ourselves getting stuck repeating the same non-productive behaviors. Children seem unmanageable, we don't feel as connected to our partners or spouses anymore and we don't even recognize ourselves. I hope to assist you and yours in managing difficult times and strengthening your relationships.

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.
