We will develop a working relationship to help you overcome your problems and fears. It is my pleasure to accompany you on this journey. People in my practice tell me that our relationship has helped them understand themselves deeply and report feeling more hopeful about the future. They know that I understand them and life gets better.

Life after sexual trauma can be disorienting, altering your self-perception, trust in others, and connection with your body. It can extend beyond memories, impacting every facet of life. Coping with intense emotions, rebuilding trust, feeling disconnected from your body, experiencing flashbacks, avoiding triggers, and battling shame are common challenges. You might feel isolated and struggle to maintain balance in daily life. Through holistic, integrative, and somatic therapy approaches, we can explore pathways to healing, focusing on reclaiming your life and fostering reconnection with your body.

People come to psychologists to find answers, get help, and feel better. Often the true nature and deep complexity of any challenge take time to reveal themselves. As a psychologist and neuropsychologist, I help children, families, and adults with the tools of psychotherapy, neuropsychological testing, legal/forensic evaluation, and consultation. My background in human development is central to my person-centered approach. My special interests include girls and women, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning disabilities, neurologic conditions, employment, and life transitions.

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.
