You may carry stories etched in your body—echoes of loss, trauma, or disconnection. Perhaps you’ve learned to survive by shrinking, overgiving, numbing, or staying quiet. Maybe you often find yourself in dysfunctional relationships or reenacting your wounds onto others. Yet, you long to come home to yourself, to feel safety, belonging, and the freedom to live fully. Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted or hopeless after therapy that hasn’t helped. As a trauma survivor myself, I understand that pain and draw from my own recovery experience in supporting you.

Throughout our lives we have different challenges that muddle our understanding of our selves. We are often left looking for clarity on our needs and how to move forward in a way that feels true to us. I enjoy helping adults who are adjusting to changes in their identity. This may be brought on by life transitions such as a career change, infertility, contemplating being a parent, loss of a partner or family member, surprise DNA discoveries or other ways that can cause self questioning. I can support you to find the self knowledge and strength to move forward in a conscious and thoughtful way.

I'm an art therapist and counselor in training at 1A Counseling, offering both art therapy and traditional counseling.

You have become a mom, your child is not older than 3 or 5 years old, and you feel lost, sad, alone, rageful, misunderstood or even feel you don't know who you are anymore. Nobody told you that motherhood could be so overwhelming. However, you are certain that you don't want to hurt your child in the same ways you were hurt as a kid. All you want is to become the mother you anticipated to be for your child, but how?

I strive to help clients balance change and acceptance in their lives. We cannot change what we do not accept. Gaining insight into childhood dynamics and attachment styles provides a foundation to understand current problematic behavioral patterns. Change is then possible through learning new skillful behaviors. This same approach is effective in helping families find balance in restructuring the family hierarchy, especially in situations in which an adolescent has become elevated in the family system. Changing behaviors through changing the ways we interact with ourselves and others is the core of my treatment approach.

See More 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.
