I believe people possess an innate capacity for growth, healing, and resilience. Suffering is a natural part of the human experience and one that can lead to greater self-awareness, personal meaning, and emotional depth. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process and am committed to providing a compassionate and non-judgmental space where individuals can authentically share their stories and access their strength. By providing a supportive environment, clients can explore, understand, and rewrite their narratives in ways that promote healing and positive change.

You struggle with intense emotions and feel stuck in your life. You feel irritable, down, worried, or numb more days than not. You may lash out at others or yourself. Old coping strategies no longer work. It’s difficult to imagine life improving - for you to do anything other than tolerate your symptoms. The clients I work with have experienced trauma of all kinds, including childhood sexual abuse, betrayal, sexual assault, incest, combat trauma, racism, ableism, homophobia, physical and emotional abuse, and dysfunctional families.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by a racing heart, a constant pit in your stomach, restless nights, or a loss of appetite? Do you often say “yes” in hopes of pleasing others, only to feel unfulfilled in your relationships with friends, family, or romantic partners? Are you single and yearning for a meaningful partnership, or are you part of a couple struggling with anger, resentment, or a lack of understanding that has replaced the fun and connection you once had?

Today’s world can seem overwhelming and exhausting to many of us. Sometimes, even getting out of bed seems like a chore. Anxiety can feel like it has a vice grip on your life. Imagine if you didn’t have to feel this way. It is possible. I have a history of working with individuals that struggle with addictions, people in the criminal justice system, and those who suffer from anxiety, depression, PTSD, c-PTSD, eating disorders, mood disorders, the LGBTQIA population, and couples struggling in their relationships. The therapies I offer focus on helping to alleviate the negative symptoms that can come with these battles.

Hello! I have been in the mental health field for 15 years and I love what I do. I spent years working at a sexual assault survivor organization, a dual diagnosis treatment center for women, and in private practice. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in both New York and Florida and a Licensed Clinical Profession Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland. I am a mom and a partner who understands the chaotic and messy nature of life. I believe everyone needs and deserves a place and time to show up authentically, feel heard, and be able to figure out how to make life a little easier.

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.
