I believe that healing occurs when people are given the space to explore their unique emotional experience to better understand how it colors their worldview, sense of self, and relationships with others. Within a safe therapeutic relationship, I work with my clients to make meaning out of both mundane and extraordinary moments, unlocking their ability to live a more fully present, authentic life.

Are you concerned about your child? Does your child struggle with: anxiety, feeling sad, behavioral outbursts, difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep, problems at school, low grades? Is the stress affecting your family? I am here for you! I work with children, teens and families to find solutions that can help the whole family live a healthy life and deal with the challenges that we deal with daily. I believe in healing through playing, being creative and talk therapy. I advocate for children and teens who need that extra support in school.

I help big-feeling high achievers resolve emotional overwhelm, so they can accomplish their ambitious goals with confidence and ease. Despite being eager about their growth, empathetic, and having a dry (alright, dark) sense of humor, when my clients come to me, they're stuck. While therapy has helped, there's a missing piece. The insights they gained in therapy aren’t translating to their real-life problems. They aren’t the confident person they want to be. They're insecure in their relationships. They’re missing out on professional opportunities.

As a counselor, my role is to create a safe environment where you can feel secure and supported. My style is respectful, warm and interactive. I value a strong therapeutic alliance as a basis for personal and behavioral change and emotional growth. When working with teens, I find collaborating with caregivers to be most effective in fostering growth and positive change. I also find it essential working with adolescents to build a strong rapport as a foundation to further enhance the therapeutic process.

Therapy is where you come to reflect on life decisions and experiences and I am here for you through those moments. I would describe a session as being insightful and meaningful even if it is in subtle ways. We may spend some time talking about your daily life, or big things; some days it may feel like a big breakthrough happened and others, a casual conversation. All the things brought up are important to allow you and I to build a therapeutic relationship and to feel comfortable. Everything that you talk about contributes to your growth, even if it is not tangible yet.

Engaging in therapy takes strength, bravery, and courage. My therapeutic approach is guided through relational and person-centered practices, which involve seeing clients as complex, intricate people rather than diagnoses or “problems.” My intention as a therapist is to ensure my clients feel seen, heard, and understood, all of which I believe are of the utmost importance to healing.

Scientifically, change occurs when we develop new neural pathways. Humanly, change occurs when we experience. Nature helps to facilitate change within our brain as we embrace our innate biophilia. When we connect and identify with land, we re-own its vital and powerful energies, and the dynamism of the Earth is reflected within us.Through facilitated integration with nature, it is my objective to help reconnect you with the natural world. Along with nature-based activities, talk therapy is offered. However, sometimes the silence we experience in nature can be a great teacher. It is up to you determine what works best for you!

They arrive with a complex tapestry of experiences, marked by the intertwining threads of substance use and mental health struggles. Their issues are not isolated; rather, they face a profound interplay between physical dependencies and underlying emotional complexities. These clients are not merely seeking a standardized solution; they want a personalized and compassionate approach that acknowledges the uniqueness of their journey.

Your mind tells you; it was so long ago, and it wasn't that bad...then why is life so hard to do? At times, you feel alone and yearn for a sense of belonging. Sometimes you feel the darkness of your pain is too much for others to bare and you spent a lifetime trying to cover up the hurt, but now it feels too big of a burden to hold inside. Your forced smile no longer covers up the pain of the past. Your pain is not too much for me to hold. You are worthy of healing and I am here to hold your darkness.

Welcome, I'm truly grateful you're here. Choosing therapy, whether alone or with a partner, shows courage and care. In a world that often expects us to hide our imperfections behind a facade of success and happiness, therapy offers a refreshing alternative. It's about giving ourselves permission to occupy the space that is rightfully ours, acknowledging and moving through the twists and turns of our journeys with compassion and curiosity. It's about exploring the questions that keep you up at night: What do I want? What am I doing with my life? Why is parenting so difficult? How can we make this relationship work?

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.
