In my work, I welcome individuals and families who are looking for a compassionate, confidential space to grow, heal, and feel truly supported. You might be a parent seeking help for a child who’s navigating emotional or behavioral challenges, a teen feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, or questions about identity, or an adult coping with stress, relationship concerns, or shifting moods. Many of the people I work with share a common experience: feeling overwhelmed, stuck in difficult patterns, or unsure how to move forward. Together, we create a space where those feelings can be understood, gently explored, and transformed.

My training as a social worker is centered around a strength-based and empowering approach. I serve adults (18+ ) struggling with challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship/life changes, chronic health conditions, grief and loss, and complex trauma. Non-appropriate referrals would include those currently struggling with significant substance misuse or would benefit from long term therapeutic care with case management. I had the honor of completing a "Foundations of Polyvagal Informed Practice Clinical Training Series" and therefore a deep look at the nervous system to promote regulation is integrated into the sessions.

In our moments of quiet reflection, which are often fleeting in today's fast-paced world, we may find ourselves listening to an inner monologue that is in limbo. Perhaps you feel there is no time to sort through all of your thoughts and feelings, and you're stuck in "go-mode", juggling the day to day but not living your life to the fullest. This stress may manifest as substance misuse, relationship conflict, avoidance, feeling "numb", neglecting one's self-care, work or school problems, parenting challenges, and more. These challenges, if the origins are not understood, can reinforce feelings of failure and self-doubt.

Working with adolescents is rewarding as well as challenging. Kids today are having to juggle more than ever before with being in the social media and immediate gratification era . Not having all the tools available to them at times makes it even more difficult for them. I am able to share with kids that they are not alone and that there are other kids out there who struggle with similar difficulties.

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.
