I teach groups on learning skills to manage thoughts and emotions; understanding and identifying gaslighting for women; making safer dating choices for women; and emotional support for women married to men in ministry I believe every person has worth, dignity, and purpose.
Everyone is looking for a safe place to be themselves. As I engage with Christians and people of color I often hear, “there’s no safe place for me get help with a counselor who is like me.” This is a lonely place to be, needing help, but feeling left out. My passion is helping Christians, people of color, refugees, immigrants, missionaries and those living cross culturally find a safe place to work through their life concerns. I enjoy helping women make safer dating choices and find their voice, and helping all my clients engage more healthily in all their relationships.

I have had the pleasure of working in this field for more than 35 years and have found that no problem is too big, peace is a position of power, and change is another word for refine/revise/adapt. My favorite quote is: "You have to fall in love with your life." Counseling is a way to learn the barriers to doing this, the tools and techniques for doing so, and shifts in beliefs needed to attain the trickle down effect from this. Clients with whom I work often are seeking shifts in their life/spiritual view, focus, behaviors and coping skills.

I know sometimes things happen that you don't know how to handle. It can make you very anxious. You may feel you've gotten "off track" and need some direction. You may be overwhelmed and don't know what to do to make it better. You may be wondering what's wrong, and why this keeps happening. Perhaps you just don't feel like yourself - aren't content with your life - even though you've got a lot going for you. Or maybe you've built the life of your dreams, but you're not really enjoying it. It still feels like something's missing. You want things to be different, you just don't know how to make that happen. Something needs to change.

Counseling varies depending on the personality of both the therapist and the client and the particular problems that you may be experiencing. I want to help you address the problems you hope to address. Often this includes building skills to: reduce feelings of distress, improve relationships, communication with others, and/or to resolve difficult personal issues. In order for therapy to be most successful, you will be asked to work on things we talk about both during our sessions and at home.

In this moment you are doing the best you can, even if you aren’t feeling that way. Often we find ourselves wanting to improve our life and not sure where to begin. Making the decision to start therapy and finding the right therapist you feel safe enough to be vulnerable with can feel overwhelming, leading to avoidance of going after the support you deserve. If you are feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, replaying back past disappointments, worried about the future, struggling to build meaningful relationships, regretting decisions, or struggling to navigate a life transition, I may be the right therapist for you.

We sometimes find ourselves struggling with major life changes, day-to-day stressors, and physical health issues. These can lead to depression, anxiety, panic, and/or other negative feelings that can be overwhelming and cause disruption in day-to-day functioning and in relationships. Sometimes, these situations and feelings can even trigger traumas from the past, which can lead to further dysfunction. It can be a tough decision to take the step to call a therapist, but it can also be the first step towards taking back your life.

Sometimes, we feel stuck in life and don't know what we can do to move forward. I often work with, and welcome, individuals who struggled to find benefit in previous attempts at therapy. I find great value in working with folks struggling to maintain their identity while juggling children and aging parents. Individuals managing a beloved pets illness or loss are also a welcomed part of my practice. I enjoy working with individuals who seek greater understanding of how their moods and behaviors developed, and why their current coping strategies may no longer feel useful.

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.
