With almost 20 years of experience, I combine clinical experience, intuitive knowledge, and genuine compassion to help clients achieve their goals. My practice consists of clients working on a broad range of issues – some with long standing emotional challenges; others facing situational stressors. Situational stressors are life occurrences or circumstances that may be temporary but create upset in one’s personal or professional life.

I enjoy my profession as a therapist. Every person faces life transitions and crises. All that we can control is how we respond to these challenges. My approach is to try to understand each client's unique needs, discover and mobilize the client's strengths, and enhance their coping skills. I strive to help my client use the precipitant, what brought them to therapy, to grow as a person from the therapy experience. My approach is to listen to my client, help them process their feelings, empower them to see that they have choices, and choose emotionally healthy options.

I specialize in women because I love the voyage women travel.
I've always believed that the person who enters therapy is a brave soul. Coming to therapy means taking a leap of faith that the therapist will hear you and respond with empathy and connect in a way that makes the experience comforting in an environment of acceptance with purpose and growth. The impetus that compels someone to come to therapy may be depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or a general lack of fulfillment in life. You may want to be compassionate to your thriving inner critic. All are a genesis to a new beginning that we will work on together.

I believe creating a comfortable, warm, and of course confidential environment is key. Sharing one's thoughts and feelings can be difficult work, but careful, compassionate listening, thoughtful reflection and a sense of humor can make it easier to engage in the therapeutic process.
I work psychodynamically, thinking about you as a whole person, not as a cluster of symptoms. Together, we will consider your experiences from early life, patterns of relating and refine goals for cultivating a satisfying, meaningful life.

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.
