Sometimes life throws us a serious curve ball; whether it's coming to terms with a new medical diagnosis, adapting a disability, coping with the stress of career transition, or the loss of a significant relationship, these dilemmas can send us reeling. Any traumatic life event can leave us angry, sad, anxious, confused, isolated or just plain stuck and overwhelmed. My practical counseling philosophy supports clients with grief, trauma, relationship conflicts, financial stress, health issues, and vocational challenges presented by change, loss, new or existing disabilities.

Accepting new clients. I would love to help you get started on your path to healing. Life may suck right now, but hang in there……It can get better!

When you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by life's challenges, it can be hard to see a path forward. It may even feel like you're walking through a dark, dense forest, unsure which direction leads to the light. You may be struggling with past experiences, relationship patterns, anxiety, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together. You might notice your body constantly feels on edge-ready to fight, run, freeze, or shut down-even when you're not in danger. These responses are our mind and body's natural way of trying to protect us. You don't have to navigate this path alone.

As a middle aged adult with professional and life experience, I am well versed in supporting adult clients who are struggling with work life balance, life transitions, goal setting, depression, anxiety and/or menopause. I am known as a compassionate listener dedicated to helping clients grow to be the best version of themselves. As we age and are at different spots in our lives, our best version also changes. Talking through what that has been, as well as, what an individual wants that to be is important to me.

Many of the individuals I support are people who show up for others every day, often at the expense of their own well-being. My therapy practice is client-centered and a collaborative process. Healing is not linear, and no two therapy journeys look the same. I strive to create a space that respects your unique story and supports growth at a pace that feels right for you.

Being a human is hard. Being in relationships with other humans? Also hard. Most of us weren't taught specific skills for dealing with emotions, stress, communication, conflict, or trauma. But we each have the capacity to learn and the innate ability to heal. I work with individuals and relationship systems as they navigate life — overcoming difficulties, repairing past wounds, and building deeper, stronger, more meaningful connections. I offer empathy and compassion to all my patients and believe in the deeply healing powers of humor, honesty, acceptance, and emotional expression.

I’ll walk alongside you as you rediscover your strengths, process what’s heavy, and build a life that feels hopeful and true to who you are. Resilience isn’t pretending things don’t hurt; it’s learning to move through pain without losing yourself. You have the power to heal from the past and feel grounded in the present.

I work with individuals and couples who are tired of feeling stuck—whether that’s from trauma, infidelity, anxiety, depression, or just a deep sense of disconnection. On the outside, things might look “fine,” but inside, something feels off, heavy, or unfulfilled.

In a space that’s honest and safe, we untangle those patterns so you can rebuild trust, reconnect in your relationships, and start living with more clarity and meaning.

See More Female Therapists FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
