I help motivated individuals like yourself openly explore what holds them back from experiencing a joy-filled life. Examples include negative core beliefs, past traumatic experiences and unhealthy lifestyles. I like to use a more holistic approach to treating mental health concerns so in addition to looking at your thoughts and feelings, we will also examine your nutrition, exercise, sleep habits and support network.

There is something wonderful about growing older, especially in this profession. For 36 years I have practiced psychotherapy, which is defined as the “care of the soul.” This type of work is not for the faint of heart. Healing is an intensely intimate, individual, and spiritual experience. We know our answers, the question is, "Are we brave enough to hear them?"

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or fear caused by overwhelming changes, relationship concerns, or experiencing a difficult time in your life? Maybe it's something that "just doesn't feel right", or perhaps you just need extra support for a major life decision or situation. Have you been thinking about seeing a therapist, but not sure where to begin? Seeking help is a positive step in the right direction. Everyone experiences challenging times, however, when life stressors become extremely overwhelming it is time to reach out for professional help.

Waitlist for new clients
Life can be dysfunctional and although many of us learn how to function in this dysfunction there are times where it may become too much to walk in alone. Your life seems filled with constant thoughts of "I should have: said that differently, told them how I felt, spoke up for myself". You struggle with fears of judgment and expectations. Somedays it may seem like an impossible mission to get out of bed, shower, feed yourself or socialize with others. You struggle with persistent irrational thoughts that you are aware of but can't seem to make them stop.

The relationships we form with intimate partners and ourselves are vulnerable and very often confusing and scary. My goal is to help you create secure attachments, explore and manage anxiety and fears, increase self-esteem, and improve connection within yourself and loved ones. Many that I work with have experienced sexual, childhood, or relationship trauma that can cause anxiety, undesired attachments, difficulty to regulate emotions, and connections that do not feel fulfilling. You may feel lost and vulnerable within your relationship with yourself and your partner. You deserve a safe space to express and explore these dynamics.

Each morning, you wake up with anxiety and depression weighing heavily upon you, despite fervent prayers for relief. You know that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but you feel a storm of worry inside you anyway. The storm within persists, leaving you feeling disconnected from loved ones and the peace you seek with God. You haven’t been able to blend your faith with practical steps toward healing. Seeking a balance where the spiritual journey and emotional well-being walk hand in hand is something that has eluded you. You long to fortify your relationships and deepen your connection to God.

My goal is to create an environment that is safe to heal. One that each person can speak freely without fear of judgement or ridicule.I confront the core issues with warmth so that we can tackle each problem one-by-one. I can work with individuals, children, adolescents, couples or families. I am referred to as a "family therapist" because I work with one person or many at the same time. Sessions are tailored to the client needs and goals. Talk therapy is not for everyone and if someone has difficulty expressing themselves we can use other modalities.

As a therapist, I've witnessed firsthand the courage it takes to share one's struggles with anxiety and depression. I’ve seen the relief that comes from speaking openly about these experiences and from acknowledging that you’re not alone. By being open and vulnerable, we can create a world where it’s safe to seek help, where we can find support and compassion. I see vulnerability as an opportunity for profound growth. With the help of others, change is possible.

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.
