There are challenges in everyone’s life that can seem daunting. At such times, an experienced guide to assist us in identifying the thoughts and feelings associated with our current difficulties can be beneficial. We all have within us the capacity to be our best selves and live fulfilling lives. We carry with us our unique combination of genetics, upbringing, and life experiences which impact our interactions with ourselves and others. While employing efforts to get our needs met, attain happiness, and create satisfying connections with others, we may find ourselves engaging in ineffective and counterproductive behaviors.

I recognize that making the decision to contact a therapist is difficult for some therefore, my goal is to make the process as comfortable as possible. I work in a relaxed, informal manner that is collaborative in nature. I often use humor in my therapy sessions and take every possible measure to ensure that my office is a safe place for clients to freely cry or express anger as they need. Finally, I work from an integrative perspective that draws from a variety of theoretical approaches as I tailor my approach to the needs and preferences of my clients.

You thought you would be in a different place by now. You’ve done all the right things and checked all the boxes. But for some reason, you’re still not happy. There’s at least one area of your life where you experience negative thoughts like “I’m not good enough. I’m a failure. I’m a terrible person.” These thoughts might be in the background all the time or they might only pop up when you’re around certain people, when you go home to visit family, when bad memories get stuck on a repeating loop, or when you’re working another day in that job you hate. Whatever it is that triggers these thoughts, they make you feel terrible.

Intrusive thoughts can leave you full of shame or crippled with worry, and can feel like they are taking control of your life and mind without your permission. Perhaps you struggle with these thoughts or worries, or you are a parent desperate to help your child with their struggle. Or do you deal with self-deprecating thoughts or anxieties that seemingly pop out of nowhere? These experiences can be incredibly frustrating, especially after you’ve spent so much energy trying to force the thoughts or feelings away. They can affect your relationships with partners, friends, coworkers, children, and especially with yourself.

I appreciate the opportunity to come alongside women whose lives have been shattered by the trauma of infidelity and betrayal and assist you in making sense of it all, establishing emotional safety, and overcoming the "Great Lie" that you are not enough by building self-trust and self-compassion in order to feel alive again.
I believe that we are all image-bearers of God, as having been created in His image. Therefore, the client and I both bring resources into the therapy room with which to work collaboratively toward a healthier life for the client-- mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Beyond my training in Marriage and Family Therapy, I have experience that I bring to the table from my own life journey-- parenting into adulthood; divorce recovery; partner betrayal trauma, spiritual formation; marriage and relationships; career counseling; codependency issues; and addictions. My greatest core belief is that there is always hope!

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.
