Life can feel overwhelming and confusing when we are met with expectations that do not align with authentic self. I believe positive and effective change can happen once we become more confident and empowered within ourselves. I work with individuals to feel confident to make effective change within their life in order meet their personal and therapeutic goals. I primarily work individuals with disrupted attachments related to childhood trauma, and sexual trauma; in addition to PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD (specifically related to Relationships, Contamination, and Perfectionism), and Borderline Personality Disorder.

Coping mechanisms that run amok, anxiety that does not relent, challenges in prioritizing yourself at least as highly as you do those you love most; these are some of the challenges that intrude and overwhelm. Therapy is a way to develop and use a trusting, collaborative and caring relationship toward decreased distress and increased peace. My goal is to empower you by guiding you toward growth, change, confidence and calm. We do this with a value for the strengths, values and goals that you bring with you to therapy.

I came to therapy as a client and became passionate about the benefits of therapy because of the changes I experienced in my own life. Learning about ourselves is a life-long process as we are constantly exposed to new experiences. There is always room to improve our relationships and the rewards are real.

Psychological evaluations, screening instruments and or testing help the therapist and clients identify areas of concern in four domains, that is, biological, psychological, social and spiritual. Based on findings, recognizing the primary area of concern and setting and achieving goals is critical in reducing mental health symptoms that are most debilitating to the client. Specialties are treating people with depression/loneliness addiction and underlying disorders such as brain impairment, ADHD, anxiety and trauma.

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.
