Anxiety, depression, and stress can create real barriers in your life, despite your efforts to keep pushing through. When it all becomes too much, you might feel down, anxious, or even like you're going crazy. You're not alone- we all need support sometimes in life, and starting therapy is a brave step to seek that support. Whether what you're experiencing is something you've lived with for awhile, or the result of some major changes in your life, I want you to know that change is possible.

I enjoy working with adults exploring relationships, family of origin concerns, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress (and growth), grief and loss, and transitions. Each client may seek therapy for different reasons, often because something in their lives has become uncomfortable, unhealthy, unsustainable, intolerable – but each client is so much more than their problem. I've worked with everyone from high school dropouts to combat veterans to long term care residents, and everyone in between ... In every one I see another facet of the best of what it means to be human, and I love to show up and see what we learn together.

Trauma can leave us feeling shattered, lost and disconnected. Adding parenting to the mix can make it that much harder. You may be fed up with being triggered, anxious, burned out, and maybe even feeling guilty that you can’t always be the present parent or partner you want to be. You might not even be able to remember a time things didn’t feel this hard. But one thing's for sure, you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to make sense of your experiences. You’re ready to re-gain control. Most of all, you’re ready to feel capable and empowered to be your best parenting self.

I am passionate about helping clients heal and transform through an eco-art therapeutic approach that combines art, nature and play. Working and playing in a natural setting, I offer a variety of mediums to encourage growth, both indoors and out. This allows an emergent and imaginative approach to therapy that adapts to fit the unique needs of each individual, couple, family and group. Moving from sand tray to clay, collage to art journaling, clients can walk outdoors on paths that meander past waterways and through old growth forests. With labyrinths, meditative walks and an enormous sound chamber, I offer many creative outlets.

You’ve probably already read books like The Power of Now, The Secret, and The Four Agreements but still feel a bit lost. You wake up in the morning, trudge through your day, do your best to get things done on your never ending list, just to have it start over again. You ask yourself questions like: What am I even doing? Where do I want to go? What do I want to be? What do I even want to do with my life? We’re all still constantly figuring it out and doing our best, but there are things we can do to better understand what it is we want to create so we can start actually manifesting the future we want into existence.

Do you feel stuck? Have you noticed that past traumatic experiences are impacting the way you show up in the world and navigate relationships? Maybe you have noticed an increase in anxiety or depression and are starting to feel disconnected from your emotions and feelings and are noticing how these are all impacting your day to day life. Taking the first steps to attend to your whole self and explore your mental health needs and goals can be daunting. With support, empathy, and understanding it is easier to navigate challenging periods in our lives together instead of doing it alone.

Often therapy begins with an implicit question, such as “will I be okay?” or, “can I feel better?” Other clients might wonder if they will be accepted for who they are, both in and outside of therapy. I welcome you to bring your full self into our space together. I am here to meet you where you are with warmth and unconditional positive regard. Everyone needs something a little different - to move through stuck points, to gain insight, or to reconnect with oneself or others. Whatever your needs, I believe therapy should be flexible and responsive to your individual circumstances. We will co-create an approach tailored to your goals.

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.
