There comes a time when what once worked as a method of coping no longer serves its purpose. Wounding from the past or the present may surface in painful emotions, destructive behaviors or dysfunctional relationships. They may manifest in choices that are not in line with our goals and aspirations, or we may even lose sight of them. The result is more pain and despair. There are choices and options to aide in changing course. It is a difficult process, but so is the current, painful path. To choose healing requires willingness, vulnerability and hard work. The product of that work can be a life filled with peace and authenticity.

I'm accepting new clients and take Aetna, United Health Care and Cigna insurances. This is my 20th year as a therapist helping adults heal from toxic relationships whether from childhood or adult experiences.
I find that many adults get stuck in an unhealthy relationship cycle bc they weren't taught the emotional skills needed to make healthy social choices. Emotional neglect and abuse can also give us a negative belief about ourselves.
Getting UNSTUCK often means learning healthy skills to improve our choices and our thoughts.
I am trained in EMDR and EMI which helps resolve trauma experiences.
Self pay rate is $150/session

Beginning therapy can be difficult, and I am committed to creating a safe and compassionate space in which we can work together to address your concerns. Within a collaborative partnership, we will identify your goals for therapy and explore the challenges you have been facing. As a depth-oriented psychologist, I believe that greater self-awareness and insight into the impact of our life experiences can lead to greater self-acceptance and a sense of contentment. Understanding how parts of ourselves influence our relationships and repetitive life patterns helps clarify how our own actions and reactions can precipitate undesired patterns.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, 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 because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
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 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.
