My core values are genuineness, compassion, integrity, and autonomy. It is very important to me to provide a warm, welcoming space. For newbies, it can be scary to deeply open up to a stranger if they have never been to therapy. Others who have worked with therapists before might be reluctant to start again after they used to have an amazing therapist or try again if they had previously been disappointed. While I cannot promise that you and I will be a perfect fit, if you have browsed my page and feel inclined to schedule or request a phone call, I can promise that I will always do my best, be transparent, and focused on YOUR needs.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from your child, your family, or even yourself? Do you feel completely exhausted and overwhelmed by the daily challenge of navigating behavioral meltdowns, school struggles, or the lasting ripples of a difficult life transition?

Now more than ever, families, children, and neurodivergent individuals are facing immense pressure. I believe it shouldn't be so hard to find answers and live a better life.

Experience wellness focused psychology enhanced by mindful movement and nature with Dr. Stodard at Harbor Wellness. After over ten years working in traditional mental health care settings, I opened Harbor Wellness in 2019 as a unique space to offer highly personalized services focused on optimizing mental and emotional health. I believe that to be most effective, psychological services must expand beyond an illness/treatment mindset. This model is ideal for clients who desire to go beyond simply coping with the stressors of life to truly living well.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, caregiver burnout, substance use and recovery concerns, and life transitions.

You're managing a lot, and somewhere along the way you stopped feeling like yourself. Whether you're an anxious adult, a parent stretched thin, a first responder carrying more than most people realize, or someone navigating divorce or a relationship falling apart, therapy gives you a place to finally put it down and figure out what comes next. I know this terrain personally, have navigated many of these same challenges myself, and found my way through. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to stop just coping and start making real progress.

Your mind is a racing machine that you can't seem to turn off! Scary and bothersome thoughts keep popping in your mind! You try to block them but they keep comping back. You can't be fully present or really enjoy yourself because they are so loud so often! Simple tasks now take forever because you battle the urge to check or repeat things over and over. You are embarrassed that people may think you're weird! But they just don't understand what it's like to think things you don't want to think and do things you know don't always make sense. You just want the thoughts and worries to stop so you can feel like yourself again.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
