I specialize in helping teens & women overcome anxiety, stress, & trauma so they can reconnect with themselves.
Our life experiences can sometimes leave us feeling isolated, stressed, & emotionally drained. You feel stuck & you’re struggling to show up as the best version of yourself with those you love most.

You’re ready to enjoy deep relationships without the past weighing you down anymore. You’re looking to understand yourself better, explore past experiences that you're tired of carrying, & dig yourself out of this rut so you can take back control of your life & create a new “normal.” I’d love to join you in the process.

You've spent years dealing with the memories of the trauma. You're triggered all of the time, and it's hard to function daily. You have nightmares, sleep issues, or you just don't have the energy to get up. Your heart beats fast, you can't breathe, and you panic. You bury yourself in work, food, television, video games, or anything to avoid thinking about what happened to you. Sometimes you feel numb, like a zombie, and you space out. If someone walks up, you jump! You don't have to live this way! You can face the past, once and for all!

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.
