I am passionate about helping children, teenagers, and young adults navigate the transitions they face, overcome traumas as soon as possible, and enter into healthy relationships. I believe in educating young women on how to avoid abusive relationships and focus on healthy ones. I love helping young men discover their own meaning behind "being a man." I am passionate about helping angry teenagers manage the fear and sadness that create their rage. And no matter how challenging, I consider it a privilege to help people overcome the traumas they have experienced, and to witness the transformation of pain to meaning and purpose.

Welcome! First and foremost, it is my aim to put you at ease, maybe even get you to laugh a little bit! Making the leap to come to therapy can be nerve wracking. I am here to challenge, support, and guide you on a journey of self discovery. This work can be difficult, but hopefully it is well worth the effort, and who knows, we may just have some fun along the way. I will start out each new journey with a thorough intake interview to get a complete mental health history, which hopefully allows me to get to know you pretty well. From there we can look at your present concerns and set some short and long term goals.

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.
