When your world turns upside down, it can take all the courage you have to hold on. Life can throw some blindsiding curveballs — difficult transitions, traumatic experiences, profound loss, unexpected and worsening symptoms, relational brokenness, and so many more. As the world begins to spin, we wonder how the dust will settle, and what life will look like when it does. I’ve been there, and understand that moments and seasons of life, just like this, take incredible courage to face. It’s risky to look change and challenge in the eye ... but you are far braver than you know.

I am driven to focus on relational conflict, family sculpting with blended families and single-parent, men and women’s issues, communities of color, intergenerational trauma, systemic racism, and mindfulness.

The change that we all seek lies within our stories being validated and understood. As we witness the power of our stories in light of culture, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other intersections of identity through therapy, we partner in using your strengths to lessen your limitations. By developing your self-awareness, we can work to heal from past wounds, develop more understanding of your Self and those around you, and create better relationships.

After many years of dedicated work in crisis intervention, I've decided to shift my clinical work to focus on supporting those who give so much of themselves - parents, healthcare workers, teachers, first responders - all of the helpers. My experience in high-stress environments has provided me with a deep understanding of the unique challenges these groups face. I've seen how critical it is to have a supportive space to process experiences, develop coping strategies, and maintain balance in life.

All of us are striving to be true to ourselves and our loved ones around us. Feeling authentic and true to who we are can assist us in living life the way we would like to. Sometimes, our mood-related difficulties and our life experiences can get in the way our authenticity. You could be experiencing mood-related difficulties as a reaction to grief, trauma, depression, substance use, identity issues, cross-cultural issues, and relational difficulties, which I specialize in working with. Through my own lived experiences, I have a keen interest in working with immigrants, first-generation immigrants, and fellow therapists.

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.
