The world is in chaos, but that doesn't mean WE have to be. It's more important now than ever, that we face our future with inner strength, hope and optimism. Many of us are struggling in the midst of these unpredictable times, not sure of who or what to believe. Feelings of discouragement, anxiety and anger are more prevalent than ever before. I will support and guide you in finding your direction, teach you how to cope with emotional turmoil, and help you discover the inner strength you have always had.

You did not get hurt alone, and you do not have to heal alone. Whether you are coming to therapy with lots of life stressors, recent traumas, or old wounds, my desire is to listen deeply to you. Often we can feel trapped by ideas of what we're "supposed" to feel, or by the expectations we feel from others. I want to make space for you to get in touch with what's really true for you. I believe that you are the ultimate expert on yourself, and I have deep respect for your inner guidance in navigating life.

Motherhood is beautiful; but from pregnancy to parenting, it’s not easy. Maybe you're holding your baby, wondering why you don’t feel “happy” yet. You’re afraid of not being "good enough" and you feel overwhelmed as you try to survive without sleep. Your expectations around labor and birth did not go to plan and you feel a loss that others don’t understand. Maybe you're pregnant now; filled with hormones, fear, and anxiety about the transition ahead. You want to prepare but don’t know where to start. Maybe you’re struggling to get pregnant, questioning and measuring everything, angry and afraid of hearing the word "infertility".

"Everyone faces struggles at some point in life, and it is courage which allows us to seek help during those times. Common issues such as depression, anxiety, relational conflict, behavioral and emotional problems, and difficulty adjusting to life transitions can all be very oppressive, yet we can often work toward more helpful ways to manage these challenges. Asking for help can be hard, and it is usually the hard things that are worth doing."

I specialize in women's issues! As a woman, demands placed on you by family, friends, colleagues, employers - and yes, by yourself too - can create challenges in your everyday life. Low self-esteem...feeling that you're lost...or that you'll never be good enough...people-pleasing...feelings of rejection or abandonment...all these issues can eat away at your confidence. It can seem impossible to navigate through them especially when you feel you have no support. It doesn't have to be this way. With the loving support of a compassionate therapist, you can recapture a sense of hope and optimism in your life.

I'm passionate about working with individuals to help them process and cope with difficult emotions, thus leading them to adjust to their “normal.” My top priority is to empower my clients to empower themselves. I believe everyone is capable of being their own hero, but that, simultaneously, everyone deserves to have access to a safe, unbiased space to talk about hard things. Healing can be messy and uncomfortable at times, which is where my love for a good laugh often comes into play. If you’re someone who copes with humor, I just might be the therapist for you; your sarcasm, dark humor, and foul language are all welcome here.

Why, despite good intentions, do you repeat something that isn't good for you? How can you learn compassion for yourself and others - instead of judging or shaming? How can you think 'outside the box' and recognize your fear of risk? Psychotherapy provides a place to explore what needs to happen so you can feel mastery in life. I'll work with you to gain awareness and see alternatives.

It feels like you're not going to be able to do this much longer. No, the relationship isn't going to end. It's just that something has got to give. You've literally said everything you can say to help your partner understand what you need. Explaining, negotiating, yelling, managing. All in hopes that something will click. That something will create change. At this point you don't know how it's gotten so painful and lonely. It's starting to feel a little helpless, maybe even hopeless, that you'll ever be able to have the connection that you once had again.

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.
