With over 20 years of experience, I have worked in inpatient and outpatient clinical settings with adolescents, adults, and elders in individual, family, couples, and group treatment dealing with a wide range of therapeutic issues. However, I believe my most important qualification is a compassionate heart for helping people heal brokenness in their lives, make lasting changes, and live freely. My approach to counseling recognizes a person's spirituality as the central organizing principal around which lasting mental health and strong relationships may be achieved. Please don't hesitate to call today to make an appointment.

For me, yoga and psychotherapy both offer opportunities for healing. Traditional therapy works primarily through the mind. However, trauma, depression, anxiety, etc. are not only in the mind. The tools of yoga provide an avenue to address imbalances in the human system; body, physiology, mind, and emotions. Incorporating tools such as movement, breath, mindfulness, sound and meditation possibly can provide opportunities to reduce suffering, as well as enhance overall wellness. Most schools of psychotherapy only recently have begun recognizing the benefit of these tools which can work on deeper levels of the human system.

"You do not find a happy life, you make it!" - Camilla Kimball. I began counseling to battle the common belief that we are powerless in controlling our thoughts and feelings. Individuals of any age can regain this power and make a change within their lives. You might wish to be less anxious in social situations or create more meaningful relationships. Maybe you are replaying awkward moments over and over whilst trying to fall asleep, wishing things were different. "If only I was ......, I would be ok?" I want to learn your story, without judgment.

All too often people carry around heavy emotional burdens for decades, sometimes for their whole lives because they think that no one will listen, care, or be able to help. Taking the step to seek counseling is monumental for people and I know how scary that is because is see that anxiety in varying degrees in first time patients every time. Emotional vulnerability to the right skilled professional is the greatest gift you can give yourself and your future. You do not have to live with the emotional consequences of trauma, grief, or toxic relationships for the rest of your life.

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.
