I enjoy working with individuals from 10 to 60 who are working through life transitions, grief, pregnancy/infant loss, perinatal mood disorders/postpartum and would like to improve their current life situation, emotional awareness, and coping skills. They are in need of an empathetic and supportive therapist who has lived experience with trials and triumpth throughout a lifespan. They are aware that even if they do not know what is going on, they do know they would like to improve their life.

Specializing in providing professional care to women, my approach is solution oriented and evidence-based (with some humor sprinkled in along the way).
Have you been feeling stuck in your thoughts, in your relationships, or in life as a whole? Do you experience unmanageable stress or anxiety? Or do you experience what seems like a loop of intrusive thoughts, then repetitive behaviors or habits that lead you to believe that you may have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you don’t have to go this path alone. Together, we can begin a transformative journey, where treatment becomes your pathway to greater relief and more freedom to be the you that you want to be.

A compassionate Counselor,I have walked in the shoes of nearly all of the clients who cross my threshold for answers. I am faith based but comfortable with those who aren't. I am positive God allowed me to experience fierce challenges on my journey to wholeness and then taught me how to overcome so I would be an empathetic, powerful therapist facilitating the healing and wholeness of others. My latest book: A Sound Mind, by Hannah Waits, my pen name, is a true story about a client, Sara Tonin, who was severely abused, abandoned and left to perish, she was suicidally depressed but through faith and counseling survived and thrived.

Are you feeling alone? Maybe you felt you lost your voice? Life has its way of bringing pain in the midst of joy or bringing sadness in the midst of happiness.

I am here to help you navigate through those emotions by helping you understand why you may be experiencing the trials that arise. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to express your thoughts and feel vulnerable enough to share how you are feeling.

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.
