As a therapist, I'm interested in helping you get curious about all parts of yourself, challenge rigid thinking, and hold more space for nuance. I especially enjoy working with people as they work to: create healthy, reciprocal relationships, overcome perfectionism and people-pleasing patterns, and navigate life and career transitions. I am here to do my best to understand you and to help you clarify what your growth and healing will look like.

You might tell them, “I’m okay” but how are you—really—on the inside? Whether you’re a teen finding your way or an adult juggling responsibilities, it’s hard to keep it together when you’re feeling so stressed. You want better relationships—especially with yourself. And you want a sense of peace, of calm and confidence. DBT can help. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) isn’t just talking; it’s a package of tools and approaches that make life feel manageable—and maybe even GREAT. You’ll learn skills to steady moods, ease stress, and move toward what matters most. We want you to feel it—not just say it: “I’m okay.”

Do you feel like you’re holding everything together on the outside, but inside you’re overwhelmed or running on empty? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to manage it all by yourself. I offer a space where you can exhale, drop the mask, and be fully yourself. Together, we’ll work through what feels stuck and move toward greater calm, clarity, and confidence. Clients often describe feeling more grounded, emotionally balanced, and connected to themselves and others.

It can be really hard to put yourself out there and start seeing a therapist, so I’m glad you’ve taken the first step towards doing that. Because I know therapy can sometimes be uncomfortable for people I think it’s important for us to take some time to get to know each other so you can feel more at ease when we’re meeting. I really want to help you work through whatever is bringing you to therapy, in a way that makes sense to you.

I begin with what you see as the reason you are seeking help, such as depression, anxiety, low self esteem, stress, abuse, work, relationship issues, addictions, etc. From that starting point I help you deepen your understanding of yourself and your situation, make sense of what's going on, find good strategies and solutions. Addictions, including compulsive gambling, is my specialty but I have experience in a general practice working with a wide range of issues. I'm known as loving my work, being compassionate, empathic, pragmatic, energetic and focusing on people's strengths while helping them with their challenges.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, 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 because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

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 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.
