I feel having a positive, compassionate approach to each individual session provides hope and empowerment to make the necessary changes to improve one's life. Learning how to implement coping strategies in situations can alter the clients perspective in seeing opportunities for growth and self-efficacy.

Have you ever found yourself asking “are things always going to feel this hard?” From the moment we are born, our life experiences and relational connections are integral to creating the neural pathways that control how we think, act and feel. Every conversation, relationship, success, and rejection contribute to paving the roadmap of our brain. The good news is that due to the brain’s plasticity, new pathways can always be created. My hope is to be an avenue that God uses to help you navigate this healing, self-discovery, and growth through a person-centered, empathetic style of treatment.

I have been a licensed professional counselor since 2005, and have professional experience working with children/teens and adults as they walk through anxiety, grief, parenting, school issues, bullying, food allergies, family changes, and many other challenges that impact people or their family. I especially enjoy working with women who are navigating life transitions (such as parenting or empty nesting) as well as children who experience anxiety. I became a counselor because I believe every life has an inherent, priceless worth. It is my honor to walk alongside others as they discover how valuable they truly are.

Waitlist for new clients
Life is full of unexpected twists and turns that can sometimes lead to feelings of significant stress, uncertainty and even fear. None of us are exempt from difficult and challenging situations, although we each often experience them in unique and meaningful ways. Maybe you feel paralyzed by the anxiety exacerbated by an overwhelming job or the discontentment with a romantic relationship that has grown stagnant and void of a true emotional connection. Deep down, you know that there has to be more to your life than what you are currently experiencing, and you are ready to take that next step towards "your greater".

I am a Blue Cross Blue Shield provider. One thing I've learned both by counseling others and being counseled is that we cannot shame ourselves into the person we want to be. I believe if we approach ourselves with curiosity, compassion, and gentleness, we will be surprised at what we will learn, what we can accomplish, and how we can heal. I also believe in the connective power of humor and storytelling within the therapeutic environment. I commonly work with clients dealing with: abuse, trust and betrayal, communication breakdowns, complicated family dynamics, grief, shame, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

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.
