Life can be exhausting. It can feel overwhelming, confusing, and uncomfortable. This is especially true when trying to figure out how to navigate life events, relationships, barriers, and trauma. We could all use a little support along the way.

Engaging in counseling can be a scary first step. You may wonder if your symptoms are just in your head and if you really just need to "tough it out". I applaud the courage it takes to look for a counselor and entrust someone with the scariest or most difficult parts of your life. I am honored to be that person for my clients.

My hope is that we can work together to discover your strengths and unique characteristics that you can use to overcome the obstacles you may face.

Life is sometimes complicated and issues can arise that are often times overwhelming. We all are striving to do our best and reaching out for support and help during difficult times is one of the most courageous things we can do...we are not meant to do this alone. Trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues along side the wounds we carry with us keep us from connecting in real authentic and healthy ways with each other and with ourselves. I believe you are the true expert of yourself and together we will walk this journey to healing, self-compassion, and safe connections.

Life is about finding perspective. Often we face difficult challenges, life events, or situations that can threaten our ability to find balance, create meaning, and facilitate growth. When we are unable to find perspective, our mental wellbeing can suffer. Failure to tackle difficult experiences can cause us to feel stuck, paralyzed, and even defeated. With counseling, we can change our outlook to meet those challenges in pursuit of mental wellness. The human spirit is resilient if provided the right amount of guidance, compassion, and space to nurture its’ adaptive abilities.

Not accepting new clients
My aim is to provide a safe and welcoming environment where people can come and show up as they are. I meet my clients with acceptance and a non judgmental stance so that we can have an open and honest therapeutic relationship. I believe that it takes an enormous amount of courage to be vulnerable and share our stories, particularly the ones that elicit distress (i.e. shame, guilt, sadness, anxiety, rage). I am honored to come alongside others as they work towards being the best version of themselves. My approach is balanced with candidness, humor, compassion, and an easy manner.

I'm a solution-focused, results-oriented counselor with a passion for helping people in the most efficient yet comprehensive manner possible. My clients and I identify opportunities for growth in all three aspects of mental health: behaviors, thoughts and emotions. I then suggest evidence-based treatment methods to match our specified goals. This often includes lifestyle change, healthy habit formation and cognitive therapy. Most often, I work with clients' present-day experiences, with less focus on the past. Many of my clients tell me that traditional talk therapy has not worked for them, and they want to try something different.

Problems arise when we become disconnected from God. We may not realize it at first. The little things don’t seem like such a big deal. I was late to Mass, I became angry easily, I spent more time on my phone than in prayer. But I’m not really doing anything wrong. Yet, somehow things just don’t feel quite right. I worry a lot or I’m feeling more depressed. I’m not sure what went wrong or where to begin. This does not have to be your story. I want to help you figure out what is holding you back from having your deepest relationship with God, and help you find freedom in your life.

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.
