You may be experiencing pain or feeling depressed or just not feeling quite right, but you at least recognize that things in your life aren't how you want them to be. You need to want to explore your inner you and what may be causing your experience. Honesty is a must and it goes both ways in order to develop the trust needed to conquer the challenges ahead. Open willingness to learn and attempt new methods of thinking.

I have experience working with adults from a variety of different walks of life, facing a wide range of challenges. I enjoy helping people build a life that is lived with decisions made more closely to what is truly important to them. I have found in my practice that people who are going through a change in their life, or are considering a change, benefit from help clarifying their options and desires to aid in navigating transitions. These include life stage changes as well as grief and loss. I am currently only taking clients for in-person therapy.

I usually work for the courts and private lawyers, as forensic psychological evaluations are my speciality. These evaluations have become sought after for the criminal justice system by answering important forensic questions. For example, assessing someone’s competence to stand trial can help courts make appropriate decisions on issues such as sentencing, granting privileges, and community reintegration. By having the court tailor their decisions based on an accurate psychological evaluation, the community is safer while the defendant's rights are also protected.

Most therapists are caring people, willing to help with whatever you’re going through. But it’s not always so easy to find someone who fully gets your lived experience, particularly in the areas of LGBTQIA+ identity. That’s one reason why I specialize in helping those who are dealing with gender identity, gender dysphoria, and sexual orientation issues. I can empathize and affirm where you’re at right now, supporting you as you identify your authentic self, your needs, and your goals. With the right treatment you can work through this time of transition and feel more confident about the future.

We all face times in our lives where daily stressors or life challenges affect our ability to maintain a sense of well-being. When our mental health is affected it sometimes feels like depression or anxiety or having difficulty expressing our emotions in healthy ways. During these times you may need an unbiased professional to listen and help sort things out. I focus on building a therapeutic relationship in a supportive, open and safe setting that includes empathy, genuineness and respect for you.

Now enrolling for Fall 2024 Adolescent DBT Groups - Navigating the ups and downs of life can be challenging. It helps to have genuine and nonjudgmental support along the way. If you encounter a fork in the road of life and feel unsure of which path to take, counseling may help you explore personal growth and positive change. In our busy lives, it can be difficult to slow down and truly connect with ourselves, our values, and our understanding of the world around us. I believe therapeutic change occurs when we let go of perceived pressures and expectations so that we may seek a better understanding of our authentic selves.

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.
