There are moments in your life when you wake up and find yourself filled with unexplainable dread, unrelenting anger or sadness. As a parent or a partner you try to offer the best of you and yet the feeling of failure or lack of satisfaction is often there. What if you could have a space which could help you find a way to understand these things, find an answer, a solution? What if your child has difficulties making friends, is unmotivated to do the homework, isolates more, maybe even starts to lie? What if he/she needs that space as well? It can be challenging to be an adult but growing up, can be difficult as well.

Hi there! I am a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years experience working with children, adolescents, and their families who have experienced trauma and loss. I am also a certified adoption competent therapist (CASE) and love coming alongside new and changing families. While I work with kids of all ages, I have focused experience working in early childhood (ages 0-5) and in working with children with severe trauma-reactions, including high risk, defiant, and explosive behaviors. I believe one of the most powerful statements we can hear is: "I'm with you" and it's what I try to embody for my clients and their families.

My ideal client is motivated to work and understand the issues before them. They are able to take real talk, sprinkled with a little good natured sarcasm and humor, to tackle their challenges. I enjoy working with law enforcement and those who have served, but welcome anyone that feels that I might be a good fit for them. Any client that sees me should anticipate real talk about their current situations and reasons for seeking treatment. They will also soon know that they'll receive genuine compassion and solution focused conversations, to move them to a better place than where they were when they began the journey with me.

Clients often come feeling stuck, anxious, or uncertain during life transitions, relationship challenges, or periods of stress, low self-esteem, or self-doubt. I provide a safe, compassionate space where they can be heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Many hope to find balance across different areas of life—work, family, relationships, and personal growth—and to clarify what truly matters to them. They want to feel more grounded, resilient, and empowered to navigate change, set priorities that honor their values, and move toward a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

Female Therapists

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.
